Bobble-Edged Hat pattern

Bobble-Edged Hat

This hat pattern was included in the Unique One Fall Newsletter and, since the next newsletter will be coming out in a month or so with an all-new wicked cunnin' scarf pattern (which I LOVE, if I must say so myself, wait til you see this one) -- I thought I'd put the Bobble Hat pattern here on my blog for safekeeping, for my loyal readers, for eternity or for as long as the internet lasts. Enjoy!

Fab hat... love the yarn you used as well. Looks toasty warm and stylish too!

I love this hat and want to make it--do you have any idea what the gauge should be? I'm a relatively new knitter and would hate for my lovely hat to come out doll sized because I wanted to use a different yarn.

The gauge for the hat is 4.5 sts per inch on a size 7 needle; Paintbox is a worsted weight yarn, so if you use another worsted weight yarn, you should get about the same size. Good luck and have fun knitting the hat!

Beautiful hat!! Think I'll try it with Paton's soy striped yarn. Looks like it would have a fairly similar outcome.

Thanks and keep up the gorgeous knitting!!
