Organic Jacob Hats

[kittyboo]

Hi there,

 

I'm a bit obsessed with making hats at the moment - good job it's nearly christmas so I can give them to people! Anyhow, as I'm trying to be green, I wanted to make some using organic wool from a traditional breed and was able to get hold of some locally produced pure Jacob Sheep wool. This is what I made with it:

 

 

 

 

The wool was aran weight and I improvised the pattern. If anyone is interested, I've written a bit more about the hats plus a little bit about Jacob Sheep on my blog here. I've just ordered some more wool so I can make more hats for family and friends - some more Jacob and also some Manx Loghtan, a rare breed which I'm keen to try.

 

Thanks for looking!

Very nice hats!! How do you change colors with out getting a jagged line where you switched colors when working in the round?

If you know, or anyone knows, PM me with how to do. Thanks so much!

Great hats & to think they're green too! Just make sure people know not to stick them into the washer/dryer so they don't felt.

Very nice! I know your obsession! My grown up twin nephews asked if I could make them beanies so I make about eight of them!

Your hats look ever so warm and attractive, and I enjoyed the story behind them!
