New Item: Winter Tam

The derfy look on my face is what happens when I've taken fifteen great pictures and decide to go for one...more...shot...just in case.

 

S'what I get for being vain.

 

I don't usually work in stripes. No real reason, I just don't often think of hat designs or any designs featuring stripes. I'm more of a color block girl, I think. But these colors coordinated so beautifully and unexpectedly, I thought I'd do a warm winter version of the rasta tam. 

The yarn is a beautiful wool/alpaca/silk blend that is fuzzy and gorgeous and soft.

The hatband is elasticized and the hatband folds up and around in all sorts of fun bendy ways.
 

That facial expression...look, you've seen other pics of me. All I can do is say my eyes are usually the same size, and I do, in fact, have a chin. Focus on the hat, people. The hat. It will make you look gorgeous, even if you're making a derfy face.

 There's no big story behind this pattern, I just wanted to make something that looked like a baseball cap for those bad hair days, but was a lot cuter. I made quite a lot of these last year and became thoroughly sick of making them...but because they sold so well last year, I've brought them back! 

It's such a simple pattern that I can whip up two in a day...so I make them to order, in the color you choose, using Caron Simply Soft yarn and my trusty K hook.

The hat band is elasticized, which is tricky because the brim has a little extra stiffness and bend and I don't want the hat to get too bulky. 

I wish I'd also made that glorious tomato red sweater on the model, but alas. We have thrift stores and a good eye to thank for it's appearance on this blog.
