VIVIAN.....Knitted & Fulled Hat Pattern

VIVIAN

Knitted and Fulled Hat Pattern
pdf format    $8.00

Designer: LISA CRUSE
AMBROSIA COTTAGE

Stylish and warm in a mad-hatter shape, the VIVIAN HAT PATTERN is a wonderful opportunity for embellishment!  The pattern includes knitting instruction for the hat only.  As the Lisa Cruse signature design, many suggestions for embellishment may be found throughout this website.

VIVIAN may be knitted in a solid color or two-toned as shown here or in any colorway you design.  The knitting process is fast and the shaping is easy enough for novice knitters to tackle. 

To create the hat one need only know how to work on a circular needle and double pointed needles, cast on, knit, purl, knit two together and make-one increase in a simple backward loop.  Color changing is optional.  Stitch counts are listed throughout the pattern for counting ease. 

The yarn is two strands worsted held together as one throughout the project.  Mohair and mohair blends may be used to good effect and the hat produced is an excellent foundation for needle felting or other embellishments.

Care must be taken during blocking to produce a crisp shape and from then on VIVIAN will reward you with warmth and attitude being almost impervious to even the harshest of wintry squalls and sloppy weather.  VIVIAN is both elegant and practical, cozy in the country or charming on chilly city streets.

SMITTY CLOCHE

Knitted and Fulled Hat Pattern
PDF Format   $8.00

Designer:  LISA CRUSE
AMBROSIA COTTAGE

The SMITTY CLOCHE hat pattern is simple knitting once again!  Very easy shaping with an interesting finish.  The crown of the hat forms a "Y" shape with double decreasing to the very end.  The shape is not only easy to knit but easy to wear.  For gals, the cloche preserves the mystery of the flapper style when the brim is rolled in the front and worn low to frame the face.  For guys the effect is thoroughly modern if the hat is NOT fulled but casually pulled on as he goes out the door.

Embellish your SMITTY CLOCHE in a classic fashion with embroidery or needle felting.  Your canvas is bold and blank and such a snap to prepare, you will want to make several as gifts.

Knitting instructions are included in the pattern.  For instructions in fulling the hat in the washer, see the page listed in the menu at left under "Techniques".

HORN HAT

Knitted and Fulled Hat Pattern
pdf format    $8.00

Designer: LISA CRUSE
AMBROSIA COTTAGE

The original HORN HAT is knitted from one skein of a single strand of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky.  The pattern uses short rows for shaping and is a quick knit.  Double decreases create neat shaping for the crown of the hat.  Blocking is done over a bowl for a solid form and smooth yet daring style.  The horn may be worn in different directions for different effects.  Try it centered at front or angled to the side in various positions.

Embellish as you desire and flaunt your jaunty chapeau.  Model shown has a needle felted swirl of bulky yarn with accents of French knots embroidered in bulky yarn.  Wouldn't a tassel or two on the point be dashing?  Hmm, how about a stunning brooch strategically placed at center.
