The Blackfold Hat has been a true hit in my house. The Blackfold Hat has been a true hit in my house. This version was the first one that I made (in an orphan skein of @poshyarn Lei - a merino/bamboo/silk blend - from deep stash) and before I’d even got half way through it had been claimed by my son. It’s one of the only things he’s ever asked me to knit for him, so I was absolutely delighted to oblige.
🌀
It also demonstrates the versatility of the fit - even though there is only one size it does as well on an 11yr old as it does on either my husband or me.
🌀
This photo is from one of our local cycle camping trips last summer - as much as I love the ice and snow we’re having just now I’m also looking forward to the spring. 🤞for some loosening if the restrictions and some warm weather so we can get away again!
🌀
The only way to get the pattern (it’s a free gift!) is to sign up for my newsletter (link ⬆️).

Quite a lot of effort involved in getting for my swim today - I should have taken a bigger ax!

But still bikini season....

Got my favourite swim wear on - woolly hat, @molke_uk swimwear (from previous collaboration), neoprene gloves and socks.

The first issue has been sent out and if I’ve got all the technology right 🤞 you’ll be able to download for free from either Ravelry or Payhip.

The Blackfold hat is a unisex classic that you’ll reach for again and again. Grab a skein of your favourite heavy 4-ply or sport weight and enjoy relaxing ribbing in the round. It’s perfect for any single skeins you have sitting in your stash. 
🌀
Two crown options offer a choice between simplicity and knitterly perfection: go for the finesse of paired rib decreases for full reversibility, or regular decreases for a faster finish.
🌀
One size really does fit all (from child to large adult), thanks to super elastic fabric, while a deep fold keeps ears warm and the fit snug. This is the hat your family members will be fighting over so make one for everyone (it’s the only thing I’ve designed that’s been gladly worn by both my husband and son!)
🌀
This version is made with the (sadly discontinued) @poshyarn Eva Sock from very deep in my stash. It’s a true luxury to be wearing silk/cashmere!

The Blackfold Hat is one of the few things I’ve The Blackfold Hat is one of the few things I’ve designed that the men in my@life have requested. I’ve got a couple for myself, and then made this one for my husband (though it’s currently ‘misplaced’ ).

It’s been a great way to use sone deep stash skeins - this one was dyed by @fyberspates many many moons ago, and has a lovely tonal shift through different greens. You can use any heavier 4ply or sport weight yarn!

I’ve taken some time to think about what to do next with my pattern business, and the first action out of all that thinking is to start a mailing list (link ⬆️).
🌀
I’m not going to set myself any particular schedule for writing newsletters (there has never been a surer way to get me to not do something than to give me a timetable), but you’ll get a subscriber discount for any new releases and any beta knitting opportunities.
🌀
And to celebrate the launch I’m going to release the Blackfold hat free for subscribers!
