The Four Seasons Hat pattern & Kits

The Four Seasons Hat with Stella

Wow, coding and formating a website is sooo not my strong suit. I think I'll stick to the knitting! Chris and I made a few updates to the website today, including changing a few photos and correcting a few typos, but the exciting part was adding a new pattern and kit! Yay!

Without further ado The Four Seasons Hat pattern is now available along with 4 kit colourways.

This is my first for sale pattern and I am very excited about it. The pattern includes one set of instructions to  knit a lovely, slouchy hat, and four chart options, each inspired by a season. So, really, it's like four patterns in one! Each kit contains enough yarn to knit any of the patterns, so if you like one season's motif's, but prefer another season's colours, no problem! Just use the colour palette of your choice to knit the pattern you want.

  4. Any way to buy the patterns and wool for all four in one shot? They're so beautiful, I'd love to knit them all.

  5. I know this isn't in the spirit of being supportive and positive, but I really think these patterns are very close to the original from Vogue. I appreciate that the definition of 'inspiration' is a bit vague, but I wonder how the original designer feels about this. They are lovely, no doubt, and I am a customer of yours, but this is a wee bit strange to me.

  6. Hi Christine, these four hats are my personal take on the very popular fair isle slouchy hat style. While I certainly don't claim to have invented the look, by using my own yarns, colours, motifs and pattern instructions, I feel that I've made something worth sharing and I hope that my hats can inspire other knitters out there!

  7. I love your colour combinations for each hat.
    BTW, I notice you are including a "Natural" white in each kit. But it isn't available otherwise from your store. Will you be selling this separately on a regular basis?

  8. Yes! I will be selling the Natural colour in all of my yarn basses this spring, along with a few other new colours. Stay tuned!

  13. I love the new hat patterns. If only I could find the time to design while I'm knitting I can be like you when I grow up :)
