Then one autumn day on the way to the bus stop I noticed all the acorns on the ground and asked myself one of my favorite question, “I wonder if . . . I could knit an acorn hat?” |

Do you have any patterns for your hats. They are so sweet, I would like to make some for my new 5 greats that are due next year. Thanks in advance, if you do.

Kay,
The top five hats are from a pattern I purchased, Ann Norling is the designer of those. I’m sure there are online sites that offer her patterns for sale.
Many of the hats I knit today are made of leftover yarn and knit when I don’t want to think. I cast on between 64 and 80 stitches (infant to adult) and just knit until I either run out of yarn or the hat is long enough. Then I do a decrease spiral starting with knit 6 stitches, knit 2 stitches together. Each row I decrease the number of stitches between the decreases until I have knit 1, knit 2 together. Then I knit 2 together around the last row, cut the thread, thread the cut end onto a tapestry needle, with the help of the tapestry needle place each stitch on the cut thread, and fasten off the knitting.
That’s the basic pattern I used on the pink and white hat.
The knit helmets were knit to fit the specific child.
Hope that helps.
