Thought you might like to see this beanie that I whipped up for my brother on Boxing Day.
My first attempt at felting

Regular readers of the blog may remember that at the beginning of this year I knitted a multi-coloured hat in pure wool. I was in a dilemma about whether to felt it. Eventually I decided against it, but the hat pattern was for turned out a bit of a funny shape because I [...]

I’ve put patterns of both my Lavender in Winter and Triple Choc beanies on the patterns page of this blog. Have fun and don’t forget to let me know how you get on!
FO: Triple Choc Beanie
Posted by: Vicky on: 19 November, 2008
Finally got an FO to show you. This is my Triple Choc Beanie. Designed by Me!
It’s made with Rowan Cocoon yarn which is lovely and warm and soft. It uses 7mm needles and knits up really quick – you can do it in an evening.
If anyone wants a copy of the pattern, I’ve written up [...]
Gearing up for winter
Posted by: Vicky on: 29 October, 2008
We’re having a bit of a cold snap here in the UK this week and I finished a new beanie for myself.
It’s a very quick knit – it only took me an afternoon to do – and that’s just as well because I had to frog it a couple of times.
I wanted to do some [...]
Parisian Beanie Beret
Posted by: Vicky on: 3 March, 2008
I actually finished the beret over a week ago but just haven’t gotten around to blogging about it. So here it is…
I’m really quite pleased with it and was certainly glad that I went back and redid the bit I got wrong.
It was nice to do something a little challenging. Once I got [...]

I made this hat (on my lovely knitpicks options) from Elle Merino Brights yarn, following a pattern in the Art of Knitting. The pattern calls for it to be felted, but I wasn’t going to do that. As is a girl’s perogative, I’ve changed my mind.
Trouble is the pattern called for lots and lots of [...]
Another beanie
Posted by: Vicky on: 14 January, 2008
I finished another beanie at the weekend. This one went to my Mum, who preferred it to the one that she already had.
I used some of the yarn leftover from the Starsky cardigan, which is really warm when you wear it. The hat turned out a bit on the large side though. I’m trying to [...]
A happy customer
Posted by: Vicky on: 10 January, 2008
I took the Plymouth Argyle beanie to its recipient last night and he was delighted. In fact his wife seemed even more thrilled that I’d taken the time to make it. I was so pleased that it fitted ok (although he does have a larger head than my Dad who was my test model).
I felt [...]
A hat for a football fan
Posted by: Vicky on: 8 January, 2008
Finished another quick knit – a beanie for my best friend’s Dad, who’s a Plymouth Argyle season ticket holder. My friend had commented that her Dad’s football supporters hat looked a bit silly on him, so I thought I’d make him a beanie, in the team’s colours of course.
The pattern, which I found via [...]
