[Ryland Peters & Small] Hip hats to knit yourself, including berets, hats for children, and even a headband or two. Walk down any street and count the number of beanies and bobble hats you see—they are everywhere, not only on cold winter days but as a fashion statement to be worn throughout the year. In this book, Fiona Goble has designed 36 fun hats for you to make for yourself or your friends. With great yarns and color combinations, and styles ranging from a fair-isle border beanie to a pixie pompom hat, you are sure to stand out from the crowd. There are hats for men, women, and kids, including hoods, headbands, and even a knitted crown. Many of the projects are quick and easy to knit, and only use a couple of balls of yarn.
