I am happy to tell you that there is a new addition to my pattern line!
And yes.. since you asked.... I AM proud of myself for completing this pattern while having a new baby in the house! :)
Although I seem to be designing at a snail's pace these days, I am very happy with how this hat turned out.
The cable pattern weaves through itself and is very fun to work up. Also.. the entire project knits up quickly with a worsted weight yarn. The end result is a squishy, cozy, elegant hat, perfect for a cold winter's day.
For the hat pictured, I chose The Fibre Company Organik yarn in Arctic Tundra after being
inspired by this lovely knit. What a fabulous yarn this is!
This is my first time working with it, and the texture of this yarn is amazing.
Soft, slightly shiny, slight halo.. gorgeous.

A beautiful pattern! And I love you using worsted weight yarn as I have quite a few of those in stash. :) how's life with the baby?
Absolutely stunning! Wish I looked good in this type of hat, but with my very short hair, not so much. :-(
How perfect! I absolutely love it, the yarn is gorgeous as well. Looking forward to your next post!
Gorgeous! I've needed this hat for months and I didn't even know it!
I have been into knitting hats (for myself!) this past month. I thought I was all done and then you come up with this?! Now I have to go find yarn to knit it with!
Oh, how beautiful! I love what you do with cables. You are really amazing!
I can't wait to get my hands on some of this yarn (LOL I typed "yearn"). It looks so gorgeous!
I hope you're settling into being a mom of 2 with ease. It's a whole different world when you add another baby to the mix!

Beautiful hat! You can tell from the photo's that the yarn must be as soft as a cloud. It makes me want to reach out and snatch that hat right off of Julie's gorgeous head!
really pretty!
Hello-
I asked a question several days ago about the owl you knitted and what the yarn was as I really liked the variations in that yarn. I have been checking for a reply but don't see my comment even there. Can someone please answer? Thanks.
Very lovely pattern!
Love it!
gorgeous pattern! (and model!)
Beautiful!
Your new hat design is beautiful ... just the right touch of sophistication and casual. Oh, and Julie looks beautiful, as always.
What a great hat & beautiful photos! Where were the photos taken?
To knittr:
Hello! To answer your question.. I made the little owl out of O-wool balance yarn. Im sorry that I did not see your question from before. If you have a question in the future, please contact me via email at nevernotknitting@gmail.com. It is easy for me to miss comments left on old posts. Thanks!
