Ok, I have never knitted one of these before and need some inspiration... I have some cotton DK and normal needles. Do I need circular ones or dpns? Has anyone used the Itty-Bitty Hats book?

Pruni the One Skein hat looks lovely (maybe a bit complicated for me ) Do you mean someone on MN is making cotton hats or someone near you?

DG how did you find the Debbie Bliss pattern?

NQC is the hat expert around here

I just knitted a very simple garter stitch hat from Debbie Bliss Quick Knits for babies. Did it in 2 evenings. DK wool and normal 4mm needles.

Ceolas I like the sound of getting it done in 2 evenings

Pruners I am curious about making simple hats to sell... hmmm...

No it wouldn't be big money would it - you spend so much time on it and then there's the yarn... But maybe if you focused on one simple line that was successful it might be worth it

Ok Pruners I'm half way through my first attempt - if I post a pic when I'm finished will you let me know your honest opinion?

In padstow a shop was selling a gift pack of those little leather shoes and a little hat in matching stripes with roll brim at the bottom and i-cord toggle at the top - really simple but very cute.

oh well done tatties!

my two favourite hats are

berry hats, eg strawberry or blackberry. I semi-felt them, they look a bit odd if all floppy, I think-unless they are done in bright cotton , when they can look nice

or

ribbed hats with tassles in a nice yarn. I do like a nice pompom hat on a baby, i must say.

the one skein one is nice also.

Filly your berry hats sound lovely

Lovely tatties. It's very similar to the one I did from the Debbie Bliss book.
