1000 Fabulous Knit Hats
An original knit design of mine has been published. In May 2009, I read on Annie Modesitt’s blog that she was compiling a book of “inspiring hats.” Knitters were invited to submit project photos of hats they’d knit from their own designs or others’. I submitted a bunch of photos, one of which was an original design, my Top Knot hat. This was chosen as a runner up, one of the ten patterns to be published in the book, 1000 Fabulous Knit Hats.
The 10 patterns include a nice variety of style and skill level. The rest of the book is just for inspiration, but the knitter (or crocheter) and designer are listed, so if someone was interested in knitting the same project, it would be possible to find the pattern on Ravelry.
My prize was extra copies of the book, so I am holding a random drawing here on the blog to give one away. Leave a comment on this post to enter! Be sure to enter your valid email address in the comment form (it will not be displayed) so I can contact the winner. Contest will close at 11:59 pm (Pacific Time) on November 6th, 2010.
Ohh! I’m first! 🙂
Okay, I will be second. Your cloche hat design is really cute, KT. Maybe I will get more serious about returning to crocheting and/or knitting if I win!
I’ve been meaning to knit myself a new hat for the winter. This may inspire me!
Thanks,
Davina
Congratulations, KT! I’m happy to see your pattern (and face) published! You knew what I’ve been through in my hat-knitting experience. If I win, I might have the guts to start knitting hats again 😉
Would love this for any of my knitting friends since I can’t knit myself:) Love my favorite pattern that you have done being published!
Being published is super awesome! And its thrilling to know a published designer! Good show ol’ chap.
I love this hat Katie! And using the techniques you showed me from this pattern I successfully knit intarsia in the round! Thank you, thank you! Oh and congrats again 🙂
Congratulations Katie!
Put me in the pot for winning the hat book!
I am so pleased for you. And I like your blog too!

Wow Katie !! You are published. You deserve it. Thanks for all the time and effort that you have given to many, but I especially appreciate all the help you have given to me. You are a blessing in so many ways.
This was inspiration enough for me to submit! I’ve been wanting to pick up knitting for a couple months now! It helps to have a sister-in-law who rocks at knitting!
Congratulations on getting published! That is a neat hat, too, very creative 🙂
I would of course love a copy of the book, and would accept gratefully after I woke out of the dead faint from actually winning something!
Keep up the great work
Congratulations on being published! The book sounds fun, and since I’m knitting hats for pretty much everyone I know right now, it would come in handy.
Congratulations, how exciting!
Oh the hats are lovely. I do need a new one for the winter – I could knit one of these if I won the book. BTW – I don’t need a new hat right away as yesterday we almost broke a record for Nov 4 – 22 degrees C or almost 73 F. But it is supposed to snow on Monday.
I love your Top Knot hat! The book looks great – congratulations on having your pattern published.
I’d love to win a hat. Just discovered your website. thanks!
I want to learn how to knit hats. I can knit, just dont know how to knit hats yet. But, it also might be a good present to give to my sister for Christmas. She’s also a knitter, but she knows how to make hats. (and socks)
What a nice idea. I would love to win the book. That top knot hat is really cute–it’s easy to see why it was included in the book. I’m going to download the PDF.
Thanks!
Please put me in the contest.
oh oh oh!!! Pick me please!!! I came over from Crazy Aunt Purl’s site and would LOVE a book of hats other than my usual toque. Cute blog btw 🙂
Very exciting for you! I would love a chance to win
excited about the contest! the book looks great! congrats!!!
I’ve seen this book online and drooles, but haven’t been to a (new) bookstore in a while. It’s for sure on my list, but winning it would be great. Thanks for the giveaway.
Gosh……..that is totally FANTASTIC to actually have your original pattern published for all the world to see and learn!
Hope I win………I need some winter “Projects”!
Pick me! Pick me!
Okay, enough shameless begging. I have an obsession with knitting in the round, and hats and mittens have taken over my life, starting with Crazy Aunt Purl’s Rolled-Brim Hat. From there……..who knows?
Your book looks fabulous–I am sure that I could find many hats that I would love to make—please pick me!!!
I love hats, and knit them constantly. I’d love the new ideas in this book, starting with a TopKnot, of course!
Wonderful hats. Please enter me.
Oh please pick me! I love making hats!
Yay! i still haven’t made that hat. I keep intending to. Maybe if I had the book…
Congratulations on a published pattern.
Wonderful hats, indeed. I’ve been looking for some inspiration to get started again on hats for our local Gift From The Heart program (hats – and other things – to less-fortunate families in our community).
And congrats on getting published!!
Always looking for new ideas for the Caps for Kids knitting & crocheting. Sounds like a great source.
