Look at this, you guys! I actually finished another project!
It’s the third of this hat I’ve whipped up in the last couple weeks, and this one is for my 2-year-old for his stocking. The kids dyed their yarn (with a lot of help) a while ago, and I just love how it turned out. This one is such a cheerful, bright blue- I know it’s going to be a favorite for a long time.
And the weirdest thing is that everyone in my family basically wears the same size hat now. Sure, the hats are a little snug on me and my husband, and a little large on the kids (especially the little one), but they essentially fit on all four of us… er… 5 of us.
Poor Ollie… he puts up with a lot. But he does look dapper in a hat.
What’s the last pattern you worked multiple times?
On the Needles 
It looks great!
The hats are fantastic, your kids are really talented! They will be so pleased to have something made just for them. Have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The last pattern I made several times was Reyna; it uses a whole skein of 4 ply and makes a great gift as it’s a nice size and quick knit. I have used it to knit up scraps as well, and clear individual handdyed skeins from stash. I also knit the same basic sock pattern a lot. I like to have a couple of projects that are challenging in some form and a couple of easy quick knits on the go at the same time. Both reyna & socks are suitable for school pick up/tv knitting etc
Such a great gift for the kids!
I just finished my own Jason’s Cashmere Hat extravaganza – I knit seven in a month as Christmas gifts. By the last one I only needed the pattern for the crown decreases. Now I get to decide which color goes to which person!
Chinese Waves dish cloths are always on the needles for waiting room knitting – I probably knit a dozen or more every year. I should probably weave in some ends and stick a few in Christmas packages – everyone can always use a new dish cloth.
