Hats Off!

Hats off...to the Cancer Center that is!  Shown above are the latest in the hat saga.  Some of these were very much fun to do.  I think I got a little more creative with these because I was getting bored doing hats. 

Some have the same color stitch pattern, but in different colorways.  It makes them look totally different.  One hat used a different gauge yarn, which made the pattern almost unrecognizable, but I liked it anyways!  I made a few of the usual spiral helix hats, so great for using up those small balls of yarn.  Also a multi-colored hat that used up some small amounts of yarn.  It also made for a fun, cheery hat!

I also played with a little more texture this time.  One hat (a lilac one) is deep textured arrows, simple, fun, but it looks complicated.  Another (burgundy & pink) used both a color pattern & a little texture.  This is one of my favorite hats!  I liked the color pattern, it was something I experimented with on my own.  I had a time trying to recreate the upper "scallops" to match the lower ones.  I just love the way it looks!

Also shown is a cabled hat (done in a cream heather yarn).  This is my own creation...I've looked around on the internet & haven't seen any hat quite like it.  I'm waiting to hear from my "test knitters" & I will post the pattern once I'm sure it works for others...besides me! 

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
