A Hat in Time is brimming with 37 hat patterns to knit and crochet, ranging from the simple to the complex, the traditional to the hip, the cozy to the cute. It was inspired by the generosity of campaigners who knitted hats for the now closed Knit One Save One Campaign. The book celebrates 90 years of Save the Children’s work for children and is sold in aid of the independent international children’s charity. All patterns were donated for this publication by their designers and all profits made from this book will go towards Save the Children’s vital work.
Steffi emailed me a couple of months ago on Ravelry and asked if she could include the Irish Hiking Hat and now an updated version of the hat pattern is in there! Squee!
It supports a great cause and there are some seriously cute hats in there. It’s on Lulu currently for purchase as a download but there are plans to also do a printed version.
Hi Sleepycat!
I printed off your souchy hat pattern and would like to know what M1 knit-wise and and M1 purl-wise means? Thanks for your help and I’m looking forward to trying your pattern!
Hi! Make 1 knitwise means make one as if knitting so it matches the rest of the stitches. Same for make 1 purlwise. I recommend TechKnitter’s Invisible Increase at http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2007/05/very-nearly-invisible-increase.html. She shows it knitwise but you can do the same thing from the back purlwise.
Does that help?
Congratulations. I love the Irish Hiking hat and have made (and lost -one in the Grand Canyon, last April) a couple for my self. Your blog was my intro to a real person’s knitting blog. I think you are an example of the concept that busy people get things done.
