  Today sees the release of the ' Woven Hat ' , available in my Ravelry store ' Bex Knitty Design ' and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com! This Hat is packed with texture and interest so there’s hardly a dull moment as you create a squishy cosy fabric utilizing both the Right and Wrong sides of bands of Linen stitch, as well bobbles, cables & garter stripes, creating an almost olden world woven look, from another era but also timeless in its snuggly promise. A provisional cast on is used at the start, if you are opting for a picot edging for the brim, and then opened and the picot bind off worked, once you have worked your way through the body of the hat and completed the closure of the crown.

Today sees the release of the  'Trawler Hat' ,  available in my Ravelry store ' Bex Knitty Design ' and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com! This hat is a combination of an intuitive and dense geometric pattern of twisted stitches for texture and interest and the warmth of a squishy fisherman’s rib brim, making for toasty warmth in the cold weather. The result is an engaging knit and a hat of cosy goodness, which is both lovely to look at and great to wear .  After working a snuggly Fisherman’s Rib brim, knit up in either 1 or 2 colours, you’ll work continuously to the crown decreases in the diamond patterned chart made up of alternating Right and Left leaning twists. Due to the nature of these stitches, it is a fairly tight-fitting but is open to various size adjustments. You can add more ‘slouch’ amount by working extra repeats of the chart pattern before proceeding to crown decreases, and in circumference by adjusting the cast on amount, as explained within the Finished ...
