Bobble hat help??

[JulieSherris]

Hi all... I need help, quick!

Granddaughter wants a bobble hat - more than that, she wants me & her to have matching bobble hats, so we can be 'twins'... go figure!

Now, I have patterns for fairisle, cable, aran, baby patterns, grown up jumpers, cartoon patterns, even a couple of coat patterns - I have beret pattern, pixie hat patterns, gloves, socks, you name it......

Have I got a pattern for a simple bobble hat?? Nope!
I am a great knitter, but without a pattern, I can knit a scarf - thassit!

Anyone got a pattern that can be adjusted for size for a plain pull on hat that I can make a huge pom-pom for the top?
She informs me on the phone this morning that she has posted her Santy letter - she's asked for the regulation toys.... and 2 bobble hats - 1 for me & 1 for her....

I need to get these made for next week now, so if anyone has a pattern can you give me a shout?

I'd be ever so grateful!
Julie

personally I@d say knit a large rectangle, about 30-40 st cast on depending on the size of head, then do as many rows as it takes to go around your head... cast off, sew a seam between cast on and cast off rows and then gather one end. add bobble... there'll be no interesting patterns, shapes or ribbing, but they'll be quick and easy...

I made one that was 120 stitches cast on, then do 60 rows of 2x2 rib. Decrease over the next 5 rows. Cast off and pull thread through the live stitches. Then sew along the side.

Makes a basic ribbed beanie and its quite comfy!

Thank you, thank you!

I shall try both - Leah informs me that she wants one of each colour....... and whatever SHE wears, I have to wear too.... Guess I'll be getting busy with the needles then!
