The Pinwheel Hat

The Pinwheel Hat

Update - 9/27/2004 This pattern was the design of Dean Crane and may be found in it’s original form here.  Thanks to Grace Stark for pointing me in the right direction!  I am, consequently, removing this pattern from the blog.  I will leave my notes and the cable chart.

Please see the above URL for the original pattern.

My Notes: A provisional cast-on and a three needle bind-off work beautifully as the seam is virtually invisible, being hidden, for the most part, in the folds of the pinwheel.  The crown of this cap was too shallow for my weird head so I added 10 stitches (worked immediately after the y/o on right side rows) which worked out perfectly.  I also added 5 stitches to the garter band, slipping the middle stitch (the 8th) on the front and purling it on the back so that it would fold neatly.  And, last but not least, I picked up 6 stitches at the top of the crown and worked enough I-cord to be able to tie in an overhand knot - just because :)

No trackbacks yet.

1. I really want to make this hat but I can’t find the pattern. The link above doesn’t work anymore. Do you still have it?
