Knitting Hats

By -
baby hats knit with scrap sock yarn
The two hats on the top were knit with scraps from this pair of socks, the pink tone hat was knit with scraps from a shawl that has yet to be blocked, and the small hat in the front was knit with assorted scrap sock yarn. I enjoy the helical stripe technique when using assorted scraps, especially when I use a solid yarn for the coordinating and dominate color.


The helical stripe technique is easy and fun technique - have you tried it yet?

    Those hats look great! Love all the colors. I have not tried that technique yet, but plan to on some fingerless mitts...one of these days....

    Those hats are in the perfect zone of being cozy AND happy looking!

    Hats like yours are much appreciated in the NICU of the hospital where I volunteer. Now I need to check out that technique as it's new to me. Thanks for the link!

    Will try those. I love sock yarn, but not for socks, have a hard time with those. But baby hats? Oh so cute.

    Hum, never even heard of that technique! Does it have to do with how you close up the top of the hat?
