Next up for review:
This is The Knitted Hat Book: 20 Knitted Beanies, Tams, Cloches, and More by Interweave Editors. Published September 16, 2016 by Interweave, it is 128 pages of hats! You can view all the patterns on Ravelry, here.
There are patterns for guys and girls both, and there is lace, texture, and colorwork: a little something for everyone.
Some of my faves:
The Frolic Paperbag Hat by Alexis Winslow is made from fingering weight wool in two colors (the pattern calls for Quince & Co. Finch). This is such a cute solution for someone with a lot of hair. Don’t know what to do with your ponytail? Here’s a solution!
The Forge Graphic Toque by Meghan Babin is another two-color hat knit from fingering weight wool (in this case, Brooklyn Tweed Loft) but it is stranded colorwork instead of stripes. Think how fun this hat would be using a gradient for the background and black for the contrast.
The Timber Cabled Toque, also by Meghan Babin, is worked in Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd’s Worsted and is a great, classic unisex hat. For a more luxurious hat, you could knit this up in a cashmere blend. Yum!
Those are just a few. Which one is your favorite?
And . . . who’d like my review copy?

Loki will wake up in time to draw a winner!
Hello, I like the Frolic Paperbag Hat. Thx.
It would be an honour to be chosen by Loki! Looks like a lovely book.
I’d love to expand my hat repertoire! Also, I have to give you a huge THANK YOU! I’ve been knitting top-down socks for years, but now, thanks to your book “Socks from the Toe Up,” I can do them toe-up, too!
I’ve been eyeing that book, love the Frolic Paperbag hat. It’s hard to tell there is a cat in that pile of fluff.
I LOVE knitting hats! This looks like a fantastic book.
Ohhhh lovely and just in time for cool weather. Thanks for the chance to win!
Now that I’m retired, I’m looking forward to spending some quality time knitting. What a great time to offer this to us with a little Fall chill in the air and the giving holidays right around the corner. I’ve noticed that you give away more books that you keep.You are too generous. We appreciate you. Thanks!

New to knitting, hats I can probably do…love all of them!
Wow, liiks like a great pattern book! BTW, you inspired me to work Fair Isle knitted hats, gloves and socks, now I’m digging out Starmore books with idea of doing a sweater, too! Thanks for the inspiration.
I find hats to be relaxing and fun, so this book would be great.
There are several hats which I really like but my favorite is the Paper Bag hat. I’d like to win the book and make the hat for my great niece who has so much hair that it’s hard to stuff it all in so this would be ideal. Thanks for offering to share the book!
The hats are beautiful and just in time to knit for the cold season,

I am queen of knitted hats! [well, I make a lot of them.] Be great to have a new collection to work through.
Hmmm, I looked and oh, my, it is something I would like to receive. I have made a few but need to make a few more.
I keep trying to win a book from you….and I’ll keep trying until I win one!! Thank you so much for your generosity of these magnificent knitting books. I’m getting back into my knitting after almost a whole summer off. I’d like to make some Christmas gifts…so I’ll keep trying!
Have a glorious week, Lauren
Looks like nice color work patterns also! That’s why I love Wisconsin, I can wear and gift hats. Hugs to Loki?
I’d love a copy of this book. I just finished a hat for my great niece and a matching one for her American girl Doll, Katie…!!!
Looks like some fun knits. Thank you.
Looks like a great book.
“Think how fun this hat would be using a gradient for the background and black for the contrast.”
As soon as I saw the pic, I was weighing the merits of a bright, long striping vs a gradual tonal changing yarn. Then I continued on reading your commentary: YES!
PS, I’m a huge fan of Jared Flood’s designs & the products from Brooklyn Tweed. “Turning the square” is my favorite charity knit. It’s great for oddballs & occasionally I challenge myself with a new stitch or texture. Plus, [I may be a total weirdo, but . . . ] I love the way the finished caps fold into themselves to make an arrowhead shape.
Hope you’re feeling better. & thanks as ever for the giveaways.
Love the paperbag hat!
It’s hat time! Yea! I love fall and knitting hats is a perfect a seasonal activity like drinking pumpkin spice lattes and hot chocolate.
would love to win this. My teenage granddaughters are always requesting new hats.
This book would be perfect for me! I’m knitting hats for cancer patients, and need some new ideas.

Just in time for Christmas knitting… Loki is a genius at the art of relaxing
Love, love, love hats. Loki please choose me!
It’s a little chilly this morning–must knit hats.
My daughter needs the paperbag hat for ponytails.
How about a video of Loki drawing the winner?
Ooh, that looks like a book from which I’d knit several patterns, if Loki chooses me. I especially like the wrought iron look one!
Those look like fun!
I really, really hope I win this book- I am knitting several hats for Christmas gifts! Thank you! Ravelry ID: Ettenna (crossing my fingers–pick me ?)
Some Very nice hats. My favorite has to be the one that allows for your ponytail. Great idea and looks cool
I like the orange cloche hat on the cover. Thank you.
I would love to win this book for my sister. She knits hats for charity all the time.
I’d like to win this book – I see a lot of Christmas presents on the pages. If I send Loki some catnip, do you think I’d have an “in” with him? 😉
Love the Frolic Paperbag hat. Thanks for the giveaway
Looks like a great book….LOVE the ponytail hat!
Many hat patterns all in one book. Can’t go wrong with this book.
This is going right on my amazon wish list!!!
Love the paper bag hat!
Loki looks like he’s made of a lovely cashmere/mohair blend – so soft and touchable! This looks like a great book!
Sweet! Another wonderful give-a-way.
Would love to win…please Loki!
One can never have too many hats 🙂
I have been knitting hats for many years. I have knitted each of my grand nieces/nephews a hat for Christmas since they were born. They all know what they are getting – they just don’t know what it is going to look like. This book would give me more ideas for hats at Christmas time.
That looks like a cool book.
Love these gays. Great quick pattetns
It’s definitely getting to be hat weather here in Quebec. I would love a copy of that great book.
Give Loki a belly rub from me 🙂
What a great book! Loki is a wise cat!
Really cute hats. Wish I had a ponytail because I love the paperbag hat! I wonder if it could become a cowl? Would put this book to good use.
My two cats, Mickey and Scampy, say hello to Loki.
Looks like a great book!
Looks great
Thanks for another chance to win a great book! Lots of gifting potential in those pages.
I seem to be in a hat phase now. 🙂 Perfect timing!
Thanks for the chance to win! This looks like a great book with more than a few patterns I’d love to knit.
Sooo many fun hat patterns !
Love the Timber Cabled Togue!
Love the pony tail hat! My granddaughter would look fantastic in it!
Love the Timber Cabled Toque. I’d love to win the book, of course – it would add a lot of options to my Hats For Sailors patterns! (And some for me, and select friends/family, as well!)
OMG – The Frolic Paper Bag Hat is awesome! I just had a conversation with my teenager who wants a more “mature” looking hat this winter. No more earflaps or pom-poms! I am not sure this qualifies, but it would certainly take care of all that thick long hair we have to deal with. Thanks for the giveaway!
And I have just the Miss Babs gradient to use!!!
Yay! I knit lots of hats for charity and like to try a lot of patterns. This looks amazing.
Hi! Would like new ideas for hats. Looks like fun!
Hats are so much fun to knit! Its a great way to try out yarns and techniques. They also make good donation items, as the fit is flexible and they’re relatively quick to knit.
Hats make such great gifts, and these look like great designs!
Oh, I LOVE the Forge Graphic Toque!! I don’t wear hats often, partly because of the “too much hair” issue so the paper bag solution might be the one for me.. Thanks for the chance to win! We need lots of hats here in the Great White North 🙂
