I’ve knit three hats in a row: a hat trick! Here is Hat the Third:
The pattern is Mountain Peak Hat, by Sandra C, and I knit mine in Dream in Color City yarn, in the Grey Tabby Colorway, on a U.S. size 6 needle.
That’s my colleague Kate modeling the hat.It really looks great with her eyes, but not so great that I am willing to give the hat to her.
This hat is delightfully warm and cozy and it fits beautifully. The openwork panels give it enough stretch so that it adjusts to different head sizes. It easily accommodates my metric ton of hair.
Since the photo shoot with Kate, I have added a faux fur pompom. Lately I am all about the faux fur pompom.
Incidentally, Kate is a New Knitter. She went to a weekend “learn to knit” party hosted by a friend and three days later had a finished hat. I am doing my best to enable her and it is working quite well. (Insert maniacal laughter here.)
Speaking of enabling . . .
I really love the Mountain Peaks Hat and want to share the love! If you love the hat too and would like to knit it, leave me a comment and tell me:
- what color you would knit it in
- what yarn you would use
- your Ravelry name
On Sunday February 4, noon-ish, I’ll select a couple of you at random and send you the pattern as a gift in Ravelry. Designer Sandra C has also kindly offered to gift two of you the pattern, so that’s a total of 4 winners. Remember, you must answer all three questions to be eligible to win!
Loki is still a big help!
Very pretty! I’m not a hat person but love to knit them!

Thank you!!
I would love to knit this in purple hyacinth of cascade 220! I just finished my very first real sweater (fitted, not a cardi or shawl) in this color, so. What would be a great accessory to go with it 😎
Whether you choose me or not, thanks for bringing this fabulous patternt to my attention!

I love all the hats!
This is a nice hat pattern. I like that it can accomodate many head sizes — therefore a good gifting pattern. I would knit a brown hat in Swan’s Island worsted weight. Where do you get your faux fur Pom Poms? I see the poster above mentions TLE, but are there other sources? I like the hat without the Pom Pom too, but I might be tempted to put one on just for fun!
Oh, and I’m yarnyeti.
Love the hat!
I think you got the color right. I’d go with a nice dark grey.
I love knitting with Madelinetosh yarns

howdy – my brother’s going bald, so he totally needs a hat. His favorite color is purple, so I’d try Flashdance in Madelinetosh Vintage.

Happy 2018!

I would use Three Irish Girls “Elenya Alpaca” from the Net Loft in Cordova, AK.
The color way Three Mile Bay (a verigated light-blue water mix) would be my first choice, with a Nagoonberry colored worsted from the Net Loft as my second choice.

I’m jeanniegrayknits on Ravelry and would most likely use Wool of the Andes. (I’ve made the mistake of challenging myself to knit only from my stash & I have a ton of it.) As for the color, probably Dove Gray, Noble Heather or perhaps Claret Heather. And yes, I might even knit the hat 3 times – it’s lovely! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Jeannie Gray´s last blog post ..Three on Thursday – A Month in Review
Well, I’ve just knit a hat, so with this pattern, I’d be one goal away from a hat trick!
My daughter and I both are petite, so a DK should work for us. I’d knit this lovely hat out of Springvale DK, in the Enna ( a red/purple) colorway. I love the cable and lace combination, and think the yarn would compliment it.
That is a cute hat!

I love cables and this looks like a wonderful pattern. If I were knitting it for me I would use a purple of some sort. If I were knitting it for friends or family I would choose their favorite color. I like Malabrigo yarns and have found Rios to be lovely to work with or I might branch out into a new-to-me yarn. I am momcatb.
I’d like it in red for me. 🙂
I’m thinking Malabrigo, however, I have half a skein of Miss Babs worsted on my coffee table that would work.

I don’t enter many of your contests, but can’t resist this hat. Looks like a really fun knit! I would knit it in Dream in Color, Classy, colorway Tea Party ( https://www.theloopyewe.com/Dream-in-Color-Classy-C641B5A9?p=875CB939-Tea-Party ) . It’s a burgundy/brown color.

Not in hat mode, but the pictures made me think – Loki could contribute a heck of a pom-pom.
I love this hat, and I’m not really a “hat” person.
