Its cold and chilly and decidedly arctic this morning... perfect hat weather Now I can no longer make felt hats I thought I might knit myself a little something sartorial for the head department. Which intrigued me - what are all your best hat patterns?

I'm knitting a design from this one. It's a bit like an upturned flower pot in moss stitch.

It's for my daughter but I might make another for me as it knits up quickly and easily without much concentration required. I will take a photo when it's finished if it works out, there's no guarantee of this with my knitting.

I borrowed the book from our excellent library. (They've just bought yet another book for me on an obscure aspect of quilting.

Nat seems quite taken with this one, that mum knitted from a monthly magazine, will dig it out and find the pattern if anyone is particularly interested in knitting it.

Woolly Wormhead's hats are usually good-looking and the patterns well-written. Check them out in Ravelry.

I just knit a nice hat from a pattern on Ravelry, but do you think I can find it again... not even the paper copy I printed out to knit from. It is a basket weave type rib, so a bit more interesting. i made it in wool and in my teams colours, so when I go to a match I can now wear it. It was very useful yesterday...

Thanks for that Rob. It looks like a pretty funky hat. I may have to give one a go for my Niece.

Edit:- That's if I can work out where you get the pattern from.

Do you want me to photocopy it?

Most of my hat patterns are historic, but in my 'modern' ones, I still really like Forester, its simple to do, but looks really nice https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/forester

its easy to make it slouchier by adding another pattern repeat to lengthen it as well
