Hophead is an all-green, DK weight variant of my Baby Lotus Hat. It looks like a hop flower. This is the perfect baby hat for craft beer enthusiasts. Instructions for the Baby Lotus Hat in DK weight yarn are also provided.

Traveling stitches spiral up the side of this hat and converge to a pinwheel at the top. They are created using the ‘right-twist’ stitch, hence the name Twisted.

This is a simple dish cloth using the Chinese waves stitch pattern, similar to the dish cloth from Maggie’s Rags. However, this dish cloth is knit from the center outward, which gives it an interesting look. Plus, you can knit until it is the size that you want.

This geeky, fun dishcloth is worked on the bias in simple garter stitch, with a crisp Hilbert curve ‘overlay’ motif that is knit right in. A perfect gift for any math nerd.

This warm, quick-to-knit scarf is worked on the bias in simple garter stitch with a crisp Greek Key ‘overlay’ motif that is knit right in. The design is derived from Jay Petersen’s Greek Key Lace Scarf, but has been drastically simplified.  Only half of the original Greek Key pattern is used and all of the yarn-overs have been eliminated.

This is a plain, ribbed beanie hat. It is called Exeter because of the way the crown decreases interact with the ribbing. It is reminiscent of the ceiling in the nave of Exeter Cathedral.

Inspired by Cat Bordhi’s Reversible Lotus Hat, I have replaced the moebius band with extra petal rounds and increased the cuteness factor by switching to green yarn for the top section, ending with an i-cord loop stem.

This is a pattern for a perfectly ridiculous hat that exemplifies a technique that allows multiple working yarns to alternate in-the-round without jogs or vertical carries.
