I’ve been favoriting hat patterns like crazy at Ravelry lately, and have printed out no less than three — Huck, Lancet and No. 1 below — as my just-in-case alternate travel project for later this week. (How will I pick one?!) Since I know a lot of you are gearing up (or already in the midst of) holiday knitting, I thought this would be a good chance to update the ever-popular Holiday hat knitting cheat sheet, this time organized by what kind of knitting you’re in the mood for. Note that most of them are unisex, and a couple include kids’ sizes—
1.) Simple knits and purls: Anker’s Hat by PetiteKnit (See also: the sweater version)
2.) A little colorwork: Luzerne Hat by Whitney Hayward
3.) A lot of colorwork: Miguel Hat by Rosa Pomar
4.) A little cabling: Parallelogram Hat by Angela Hahn
5.) A bit more cabling: Kagome Beanie by Veera Välimäki
6.) Teeny-tiny cables: Sumburgh Hat by Jen Arnall-Culliford
7.) Whole big bunch o’ cables: Brackett by Whitney Hayward
8.) Stockinette plus: Top-down Ear Flap Hat by Purl Soho (free pattern)
9.) Little bonnets: Animal Bonnet by Jenny Gordy
10.) Big bonnet: Diana Hat by Martha Wissing
