Hot Toddy
Discover a delightful collection of hat patterns crafted by four talented designers: Bristol Ivy, Alicia Plummer, Melissa Schaschwary, and myself. Each of us has contributed our unique vision, resulting in four charming hats adorned with playful poms! This collection is the embodiment of friendship and creative collaboration, as we connected through our shared experiences in the knitting community.
Working as independent designers often means we spend long days isolated from our fellow creators. However, we’ve cultivated a vibrant online social circle that shares inspiration and support. What began as occasional messages quickly evolved into a lively, ongoing group chat, our virtual coffee shop where we check in, discuss design ideas, and enjoy each other’s company. During one of these discussions, we found ourselves excitedly brainstorming ideas for the perfect pom hat, and thus, this charming collection was born.
My personal contribution to the collection is the "Hot Toddy" hat. This cozy design showcases classic cable patterns and elegant, minimalistic details that provide a timeless appeal. The creamy, rustic shade of the yarn beautifully complements the delicate cable repeats, making it not only a stylish accessory but also a comforting piece for the chilly months ahead.
The sample for the Hot Toddy hat is knitted in Donegal Yarns Soft Donegal, known for its rich texture and warmth. For your convenience, we’ve also suggested alternative yarns that will work splendidly as substitutes for this cozy hat pattern.
Join us in knitting these lovely hats and celebrate friendship while creating your very own piece from this delightful collection! Each pattern is designed to be both enjoyable and satisfying, perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to add a touch of personality to their winter wardrobe.
