| 7 hats so far! |
Pickle-Lily has said that she would like to help make some as well, so I have designed the simplest pattern ever, and I would like to share it with anyone who is interested.

| Hat make |
It is to make a hat like the blue one above.
 |
| Finished knitting |
Cast on 28 stitches on 4mm needles using any double knit wool you like.
Knit or garter stitch 16 rows.
Cast off.
 |
| sewn up |
Sew up by joining the two row ends together, placing the seam in the middle, sew along the cast off edge, as in this picture. Turn inside out.

To make the tassels. Wrap the yarn around your fingers about 5 times and then, with a separate piece of yarn sew a knot.

| Make a tassel - part 2 |
To make the Funky Hat, I used up all those long odd bits of yarn that are too long to throw away, and just accumulate in your knitting bag. I knotted them together to make a long piece of yarn. 2 rows garter then 14 rows reverse stocking stitch, with the purl as the outside. Made it up the same way as the blue one.
