Popover Hat and Squares for Greensburg
A gal I work with has a little one who’s right around a year (maybe more, maybe less - I don’t really know) and I saw this pattern in my Knitting Pattern-a-Day Calendar for a Popover hat. It was just so cute that I offered to make it for her out of some yarn I had in my stash. This took me very little time, but it’s gotten on skein out of my stash, so I’m all for that.
Pattern: Popover Hat from Knitting Pattern-a-day calendar (pattern by Little Turtle Knits)
Yarn: Bernat Satin in Star Dust
Needles: US 8 bamboo DPN’s and US 8 Denise’s
Time: Started - 5/23/07, Completed - 5/26/07
Notes/Mods: The only mod I made was to the tie on the hat - I knit an i-cord instead of using ribbon. This was a pretty easy knit for me. I don’t care too much for the way the increases are done since this is knit from the top down. It makes it kind of…. funky. If I were to knit this again, I may do it from the bottom up.
Here’s the hat flat:

Here’s the top of the hat:

I took some photos on my bear since I don’t have a baby/small child to try this on:


And since I’m showing FO’s, here are two squares I’m sending off to Rebuilding Greensburg:

I’m moving right along with my Back-to-School U-Neck Vest. Not too much left to go, but I’ve lost a little interest since I have been working on my shop so much lately. (Including printing out business cards and still working on postcards.)
I got the yarn for my sock-pal socks. I’ll post about that later, though. Happy crafting and have a good Memorial Day!

The hat is so cute, especially on the bear! Yeah, on the squares.
hey sock pal, how do you feel about variegated pink socks, seems like you might like ‘em but just wanted to check. I don’t have an anon email, would you mind responding in the comments here?
Thanks your secret sock pal
( wow, I almost wrote something really, really wrong instead of sock, I think i should go straight to bed now)
PS. the hat is super cute
I like pink and varigated pink socks are totally cool by me!
I think the hat came out pretty good and the little girl who it went to seems to really love it. It’s the first baby hat I’ve ever made :o)
