YOU ARE SOOO DANG GOOD..AND SOOOO TALENTED TO BOOT!!!!
I have made a few now and they are a HIT!!
The first i made was a challenge..but i persevered..4x pulling it apart
coz i lost count of rows and stitches..etc
the last was perfect )
the second..by mistake.. i used needles a size smaller following adult
size instructions and ended up as a gift for a 3 year old..
using the same needles and following the childs size instructions..
i ended with a ‘pointy’ for a newborn..
Im not a great knitter but LOVE the art and concepts that come from
working with wool..and the way we can s t r e t c h our imaginations.
Im very interested in the beret-look and the older patterns for sure..
thank you for inspiring me on MY journey Lee and i look forward to
new surprises. Ida )

Hello Lee.
I loved the small pointed version ever since I first saw it and would like to ask if you have any plans for the pattern yet? will you publish it, or is it already published and I just haven’t found it yet?
best wishes, Diana

I am in LOVE with this pattern – feels very scandinavian with the point!

What great hats! And thank you so much for sharing that process. It does help me feel somewhat more “normal”.

OK, another Lee project to do soon… to go with all my short-row hats I made last fall (and wear constantly). And even Kat Bordhi likes it! Beautiful. My 12 yr old wants a new hat now.

That is the coolest hat. Congrats on getting it in Knitty! Now I’m REALLY inspired to get to your earlier tutorial about dyeing the sweater sleeve to get striping yarn, and then knit it up into this hat. You have been so inspiring, Lee, with spinning, dyeing, and knitting. I’d like to see a pattern of the smaller point version.

Wowzers Lee!! I love this hat!! The pointy version is soooo my style – I can’t wait to find some cool self striping yarn to get me started on this. Are you planning on putting together kits for sale with your handspun yarn?
