Sometimes I get these impulses. When the Fountain Hat became a free pattern on Knitting Daily, I decided I needed to knit it…right then. Within one day I had ordered the yarn, in three days I casted on, and two days after that I had this:
Since spring is around the corner I thought a nice season transition hat was in order. Made out of sock yarn, this hat is a great light-weight knit. I love the shape of the hat and found it a really simple and quick knit. My favorite part about this hat is the gathered top giving it some volume at the crown.
This picture is a little fuzzy but you get the idea.
Project Stats
Pattern: Fountain Hat
Source:Interweave Knits Spring 08 Staff Project/Knitting Daily
Yarn: ShiBui Knits Sock Yarn, Mulberry (1 skien)
Needles: US 4 dpns
Mods: The only addition I need to make is to add adding some elastic to the ribbing to give it a more secure fit.
Notes: The pattern calls for 2 skeins of sock yarn but I only used one (and even had a nice mini-egg of yarn left over…mmm, mini eggs).
So there you go, my new spring hat. Impulses aren’t all bad I guess.
Nice! I love the color you chose to make it in.
Lovely! And I love how the mulberry colour looks with your green sweater. I need to add this to my queue.
It looks great! The color is gorgeous.
It looks great!
It looks great on you!
That’s a cute hat. Now I’m really tempted to cast on. There’s always a good reason to use up some sock yarn.
Very cute! I’d looked right by it when it came out, and now I see what a mistake that was! I like the gathered top. And such a beautiful color!
I love it!! Beautiful color, too!
Impulses are great! I love the color.
Very cute spring hat! I haven’t tried ShiBui sock yarn… yet.. š
This is a fantastic hat on you!
I love this! I fear my insecurity about the size of my giant head would never allow me to knit it for myself but it looks great on you. (and btw, you can’t make us wait 2 weeks for posts! Sheesh!)
That looks amazing with your hair. So so cute. I wish I knew all about yarns and knitting lingo to sound more intelligent regarding this hat — but alas I don’t — so I shall just say “honey, that is just totally cute.”
Great hat! I really love the color.
Pretty darn cute! It is not quite a beanie and not quite a beret. Love a new hat hybrid! And of course you are adorable in it.
It looks great on you! I love those instant gratification projects. Hard to do with sweaters. š
beautiful hat!
Love the hat and the new blog! Keep up the good work! I always look forward to seeing what brilliant new things you’re up to!
Your knitting skills continually amaze me. Glad all is well in Denver!
great color!
Gorgeous!
I am thinking about making this but I am nervous about the hole. My friends at Knit Night thought maybe I should just decrease upon completion. What do you think.
