I knit up this family of Gather<\/a> hats in Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> in ‘golden north’ and ‘auld lang syne’, Sweet Fiber Merino Twist DK<\/a> in ‘Dusted Rose’ and Tanis Fiber Arts Purewash DK<\/a> in ‘mint’<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is something about September and the changing leaves that makes me want to cast on HATS. I mean, not just 1, not 2, but whole families of hats! In early autumn it\u2019s not even cold enough here in Vancouver to warrant such a hat desire yet. In fact, I could probably wait until the end of November. Maybe it\u2019s the hustle and bustle of back to school that leaves me wanting a small and manageable project, maybe it\u2019s the end of a long summer of sweater knitting, whatever it is, I\u2019m craving hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I gather up the precious single skeins from my stash, take a look around at the people I love, consider their possible head warmth needs, and then get started churning out hats like there’s no tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pattern Love (6 years later)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I first designed the Gather<\/a> hat for Knit City<\/a>\u2026 was it 2013?! Knit City is an event I have loved from the beginning and a big part of that is how Amanda and Fiona work to bring the knitting community together. This year I took a new look at this old favourite and knit up a whole family of hats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every so often I re-fall-in-love-with a pattern. I really enjoy the smocking stitch, mostly because it looks pretty and complicated, but it couldn’t be simpler (we even have a tutorial for that here<\/a> if you don’t believe me). I enjoyed putting this unusual palette together, a golden yellow, dusty pink, an emerald and a minty green. It’s pretty far outside my usual colour scheme but I really like it and immediately wanted to create a Strange Brew yoke with the combination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After knit four Gather hats I decided to give this old favourite a new layout with new photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
