COTTON CANDY ELF BABY HAT


In 2015  I visited one small town in New York State. Since I am an artist and an avid knitter and a crocheter I obviously had to stop at a local Yarn store. OMG. This lady owner supplies her knitting community with the most gorgeous selection of yarns from many artisan spinners. Most of her yarns are VERY expensive, but these yarns are a pure art form. I wanted to take a thousand dollars and spent it there. Unfortunately, I could not do it. I have a budget and that is just it. So I settled for ONE skein of the most beautiful "pinkiest" and softest yarn I saw in the store. In my mind, I saw a beautiful princess in a beautiful hat! And so did my husband. If I would be younger I would try to have another baby just because of this softest skein of yarn. But... I just bought the yarn. Actually, my husband made me buy it. 
And I decided to write a pattern for this hat as I knit. Just a simple, plushy, soft, gorgeous, pointy elf hat. For a little princess.

This yarn is thick and thin. Very textured. And gorgeously pink. I am sure the computer image will not do justice to the color of my fluffy yarn.

I decided to use 9mm knitting needles and knit a simple pointy hat on DPNs. As I am knitting (and writing this post) I already LOVE how the hat is turning out (and I am wishing I would have a 6-12 month-old baby). So, here is the pattern:

September 2022 update: Yippie,  I have someone to gift this hat to. I decided to make a short "show and tell" video to share with you - you can CLICK HERE (coming soon).

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
