I am a hat fiend - I constantly have a hat on my needles or hook, no matter the weather. And with it getting warmer out, hats are a perfect project - small, portable and quick - and when the cooler weather comes along, you'll be all set with keeping your noggin warm! We've had some really fun new IDP hat patterns recently and I thought I'd highlight a few. First of all, I immediately cast on Stana Sortor's newest pattern, Bicycle Hat. |
