After working up the blankets for my friend's kids, I still had some fuzzy-blue yarn left. So here are three kid-sized hats with three different patterns: simple cable, basketweave, and plain.
The method by which I worked up each of these hats definitely affected the size and overall shape.
On the first hat, below, the simple cable was knit as a short pattern then joined together like a headband before picking up stitches around one edge to close off the top (with a pom pom). Making the cable pattern wider would have made the hat taller.
The basketweave hat was knit up similarly, with a slightly wider pattern, so you can see the difference that made in the height of the hat.
Most simple of the three patterns, the plain knit hat is also the largest hat.
While I certainly enjoyed experimenting with the different patterns and learning what affects hat size, I also have determined that I would like to make more pretty designs in larger sizes.
I'm not sure where these hats will go, but I am certain that the recipients will have warm heads while they wear them.
I hope you enjoyed this sampling of hats!
Blessings and Peace!
