This is a traditonal baby hat (or bonnet), worn by Andean babies and toddlers. The pattern has been reverse engineerded from pictures taken in Peru.

Tweet is a hat that looks like a bird. It’s a variation on Twitter, my other bird hat. The basis of these hats is the same. Both hats have a ‘beak’ formed by a double brim. Both have wing-like earflaps worked in short row wedges.

Since princess Maxima of the Netherlands wore an outfit completely made of old mail bags, the postal theme became a hype among (Dutch) crafters. Knitters don’t have to hunt for old bags. Yarn is all they need to make these postal themed mittens.

This hat combines two simple yet beautiful lace stitches, both named after daisies. For the edging ‘chain of daisies’ is used, combined with the ‘field of daisy’ for the body. The body is bordered with another chain of daisies, followed by a striped, slouchy crown. This combination creates a hat that is both sweet and cheerful.

Do you often get disappointed when you ask a guy in your life what hat you should knit him? You hope for an interesting and inspiring knit. He answers something like: “Just a simple rib hat please, nothing fancy.”

Revised and test knitted version of this pattern is published april 24, 2012. The cables are now placed symmetrical and the crown is improved. You can knit from charts now too.

The inspiration for this clever snood came from a pram hood - the fuzzy yarn means it’s just as good at keeping out the wind

Would you like a cowl to accompany the Tortora hat from Knitty First Fall 2011? This cowl is based on that pattern.

This leaf lace cowl knits up very fast. The very bulky yarn and 9 mm needles do the trick. So if you are very much in need of warmth, try Snelle Annabelle! (‘Snel’ or ‘snelle’ is dutch for fast)

Rib Eye is a slouchy with a long ribbed brim and an interesting lace stitch. You can also wear it with a folded brim.

Are they gnomes or are they socks? They must have ran away from a fairy tale!
