Given the 9 inches of snow we got on Wednesday, these are ready for cold heads.
The purple and orange ones are destined for a friend's twin granddaughters, due any time. The multicolored one, and 3 more on the needles, are destined for a Christmas basket to a local charity.
General hat pattern: I used size 10, 16", circular needle. Cast on 72-80 stitches depending on child or adult head size. Go around and around, doing cables or ribs of any sort (gives good stretch).
Knit until the hat is 6 to 7 inches tall. Decrease at least 10 stitches per round, as it fits your pattern, for the next 6-7 rounds. End when all the stitches are gone!
Since we already have large mounds of snow and have had a snow day for the schools, it's time to knit hats!
