Domo/monster innocent hats

Hi,

 

As many of you will know I have begun making hats for the innocent smoothies for this years big knit :)

 

Domo is a big part of my life and his latest bit of inspiration rubbed off on some of my hats :P

 

Here they are:

 

 

I made a brown one and a pink one- the traditional colours, but I may start making some random coloured little monsters too!

 

To make a monster/Domo hat it is pretty similar to the basic pattern but you just have to include a red intarsia square and some little teeth and eyes;

 

Pattern-

 

Using 4mm needles and the main colour DK you have chosen for your Domo/monster hat cast on 28sts

 

Knit two rows of k1, p1 ribbing

 

row 3- k 11 sts in brown, swap to red and k 5 sts, then swap back to brown and k the last 12 sts (using intarsia method of bringing different coloured yarns across back of work)

 

row 4- p 11 in brown,  p 5 in red, p12 in brown

 

Repeat rows 3 and 4 two more times :)

 

row 9- k across whole of row in brown

 

row 10- P across whole of row in brown

 

Repeat rows 9 and 10 2 more times

 

row 14- K2tog across (14sts)

 

row 15- P2tog across (7sts)

 

To finish thread yarn end through remaining stitches on needle, draw up and sew down back of hat- darn in and cut all loose ends also. Then using black yarn give your little monster two eyes and stitch/stick on some small strips of white felt which have been cut with pinking shears along one edge.

 

All done

 

Hahaha, I hope you like the hats-  I will have more to show you soon, I am sure of it :0)

 

See you soon,

 

Byeeee xXxXxX
