The Scrappy Gnome Hat Pattern
Clearly my presence here has been kind of spotty lately. I thought about doing a “where I’ve been”
type post, but then I figured I’d never get around to it, so how’s about a cute free knitting pattern
instead?

Though the silly hats aren’t actually for them, they are for these little guys…

This pattern is pretty much as easy as knitting gets. It’s the perfect keeping-your-hands-busy-whiledoing-something-else kind of knitting, in two sizes, that as it turns out, fit just about everyone. It also
happens to be the ideal stash busting project. In fact, that’s the whole idea behind it! It also knits up
extremely quick. Like, need a gift for tomorrow? This is the way to go, quick.
So this is what you’re going to need:
A set of size 13 double point needles
and
A bag, basket, pile, whatever (!) of scrap yarns, both worsted and bulky weight, in colors that
complement each other.
that’s it.

Scrappy Gnome Hat
The hat comes in two sizes. The baby/toddler size is first, fitting around 6 months-2.5 years (It’s
shown here on both a one year old and a two year old), with directions for the kid/adult version
following in parenthesis (shown here on a 3 year old, a 5 year old and a 31 year old). The entire hat is
worked in the round while holding both a strand of worsted and a strand of bulky yarn. As you run
out of one yarn, replace it with another like weight yarn. The two different colored yarns are what
give the hat it’s heathered appearance. Switching one yarn at a time means that one section kind of
blends and fades into the next.
CO 42 (52) sts, pm, join in the round
K 3 rounds
Round 4: K2tog, K 20 (25), K2tog, K to end
Continue even until hat measures 4 3/4″ (5 1/2″)
On the next round: *K8, K2tog* 4 times (*K8, K2tog* 5 times)

Disclaimer: this pattern hasn’t been test knit and I pulled it together from a few notes that I made in a
notebook months ago. It’s possible that there are typos or errors. If you knit it, let me know how it
turns out! And, as always, I’d love to see pictures!

Hee-hee! He looks like a little garden gnome, doesn’t he?
And who knows? Maybe someday I’ll even get around to posting about that sweater.

Cute hats! And I’m glad to see that my little guy isn’t the only one who chews on the backpack
straps when I’m wearing him!
