Finished: Chiefs Hat #6

Chiefs Hat #6 is off the needles and photographed for its glamour shots.

Pattern: My own basic worsted beanie recipe with 88 sts and stockinette

Yarns: Malabrigo Rios in Pearl Ten, Freza, and Sunset

Needles: US 8s

This finished hat ended up right at 100 grams or 210 grams. I completely used up the red and gold and just a smidge left of the grey. LOVE THAT! I can’t decide if this hat will stay as is or if I will put a decal on it. I am about out of Chiefs decals and I really need to order more.

This hat is going into the gift pile. I have been handing out hats where I find that I can spread joy and it feels great. I think I am up close to 40 hats this year. My hyper focus is real….

Happy Knitting!!!

What I Can Do In A Day

If I put my phone down these days, I actually get knitting done! I had started this Chiefs Hat yesterday and my progress was thus

By lunch I had two skinny stripes added and kept cruising all after afternoon after some mild parenting and adulting.

By bedtime, I had the hat fully to the decreases. I didn’t trust my tired eyes and sore hands so I am leaving them for tomorrow. I just squeaked out this hat with using all the red and gold yarns. I have more of the dark grey left for a scrappy project. I get so much joy for perfectly using up the bits and bobs!

Happy Knitting and sweet dreams!!

Cast On: Chiefs Hat #6

My hat needles were naked I decided to cast on another hat. I had all the right color scraps to make a scrappy Chiefs hat.

All these scraps are Malabrigo Rios in the colors Pearl Ten (grey), Freza (red), and Sunset (gold). I worked the brim lining in the gold and moved to the dark grey for the public side of the brim. I think after weighing my scraps that I need to start some skinny stripes of all three colors in order to get to a finished hat. I don’t have enough to do the big chunkier stripes in my previous versions.

This hat has been my hyper focus as I try to keep up my points tally for the Pigskin Party KAL. Football themed items earn bonus points! Happy Knitting!!

Finished: Chiefs Hat #4

The sun came out long enough for me to get some finished shots of my Chiefs Hat #4!

Pattern: My own beanie “recipe” with 88 sts and a turned stockinette brim

Needles: US 8s

Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in the colors Pearl Ten and Sealing Wax

My gauge must have been a little looser on this one as I did not use as much yarn as I normally do for this beanie recipe. I landed at 186 yards or 88 grams. I think the combo of colors still gives Chiefs vibes AND the decal looks perfect on the brim. I just need some thread and a needle to tack this down.

Now I just need to keep cooking on Hat #5 that I started yesterday. These project really help my score in the DCS 2024 Pigskin Party KAL! Happy Knitting!!

Cast On: Chiefs Hat #5

This weekend is all about the cast-on-itis and I used football game watching to start another hat brim. I managed to get the full brim knit over two games and get everything turned/connected.

I picked up a skein of Malabrigo Rios at the Studio in the colorway Sunset. I thought this gold/orange color would make a great compliment to my Chiefs Hat #4 colors. I have that one finished and will show you tomorrow all the glamour shots. I started with the Pearl Ten grey for the lining and then moved into the Sunset. I am just now adding the red/Sealing Wax color.

I am not sure how Chiefs-y this will turn out but I am too far to turn back. This will end up a functional hat no matter the colors. OH and I did make the brim wide enough to be able to have a decal added.

Happy Knitting!!

Cast On: Chiefs Hat #4

I am still working my projects for 2024 Pigskin Party KAL points so here is my fourth Chiefs Hat this season.

I decided to start with the Malabrigo Rios I recently stashed in the “non-traditional” colors in my basic beanie recipe. This is my 88 stitch basic beanie recipe. I did make the brim about 5 rows taller so I could fit the embroidery patch on. The ones I have left are pretty tall.

I also chose to have the red keep going after the fold. I like the edge it creates to the hat. And then I moved back to my smaller stripes in the body of the hat. I was disappointed that the grey skein had a knot in it and I had to splice the yarn. You can TOTALLY see my splice. I do plan to put the patch over this to hide it.

Happy Knitting!!

How About Those Chiefs

I decided to bling out my Chiefs hats with some extra. I found some embroidery patches on Amazon to add to my hats. It took me a few tries to get my hand sewing skills warm, but I eventually got them sewed down with some coordinating thread.

I really love how the arrowheads look with the white against the bright colors. The heart is cool too but doesn’t pop as much. I still have one heart and two helmet patches to add to future hats. I just need to knit faster!

Can’t Quit Chiefs Hats

I just can’t quit with the Chiefs hats…..so I bought more themed yarn.

It has been quite hard to find appropriate colors in yarn shops. Understanding that stores can’t stock every color or large footprint yarns. But I think I managed! Above is some Malabrigo Worsted, a singles yarn, in Sauterne and Sealed Wax. I was able to find the “traditional” colors in the yarn base.

My options were more limited in the Rios base. I ended up with a variegated black called Pearl Ten and then a traditional red called Freza. This will be more of an abstract hat but I think it will still work! And I’m super excited to show you all some updates I made to some of my finished hats tomorrow!

Finished: Chiefs Scrappy Hat

I am so proud of this hat, I just couldn’t wait for tomorrow to share this Scrappy Chiefs Hat!

Pattern: A version of my basic beanie “recipe” with color blocking

Needles: US 8s

Yarn: TreasureGoddess Warmth Worsted in Gunpowder and Ghost Ship and Leading Men Fiber Arts in Poison Apple and Sweet Corn

This hat is amazing. I used so many scraps and ALL of the Leading Men chiefs colors. The finished hat used 154 yards of yarn putting it on par, size wise, as my other single color hats. After finishing this hat, I got a flash of an idea to purchase some Chiefs sew on patches.

As long as they come in true to internet description, I think each brim of my three Chiefs hats will get a logo stitched on? And then Jellybean, Papa and I all can have coordinating hats. Papa and Jellybean are headed to a game here in November so I think it would be extra special.

Happy Knitting!!

A Scrappy Chiefs Brim

I had a full day of online CPE on Zoom. Because this grown adult left most of her 30 hours of CPE to the end of the year. So I grabbed those Chiefs scraps from my bag and started working on a third Chiefs hat. I am also hydrating to get over the sugar coma that was Halloween!

I started with the TreasureGoddess yarns scraps of Gunpowder to create the inner facing brim and then moved to the Leading Men Fiber Arts Poison apple. And thus far, I am in love. I adore the depth that this dark charcoal is adding.

I feel another project hyper fixation coming. I hope my fingers can keep up!!

Happy Knitting!!
