I'm really having fun knitting basic hats and adding a charted design with duplicate stitch. This time it's an Autobot symbol hat that I created for my son. He loves Transformers! He was quite happy that I finished his hat now that winter is approaching.
I've included the chart I used below in case anyone else wants to create an Autobot hat. I'll probably type up the simple hat pattern soon I've been using for these hats so that others can create these hats, too.
I had previously knit a Colts hat for my brother last year. Now that he has a son, I wanted to knit him a hat, too. Since a 12 month old's hat would be way too small for the original chart, I decided to go back to the drawing board and design a smaller horseshoe.
I knit this hat in the round, and used duplicate stitch to add the smaller horseshoe just like I did with the original hat. Since the hat is a gift, I tried it on my daughter's head to make sure it fit properly. I think it turned out well, so I've included this littler charted horseshoe, too.
