It's The Great Pumpkin, Yarns of Hope!
Fall is certainly in the air with the temperatures lowering, daylight ending earlier and decorations adorned inside and out. Stores have been carrying fall-themed decor for months (and Christmas too but that's a conversation for another day.) I don't know about you, but I'm finally ready to stop ignoring the aisles and walk around in the corn-stalk and orange-leafed harvest wonderland in the craft sections.
One of my favorite reasons for celebrating this time of year (aside from rummaging through my daughter's candy bag for Butterfinger's and Twizzler's) is dressing up in warm and festive attire! Outfits become longer and layered, pastels make way for darker and earthy tones, and warm accessories becomes a newfound reason to pick up our sticks and make hats and scarves for ourselves, family and others in need.
Why not celebrate the season by making a pumpkin hat! It can be worn for at least two months out of the year, is a novelty among hat styles and will have people oohing and ahhing once you have told them that you made it yourself! So pick up your hook, needle and/or pick and let's make a patch worthy for the Great Pumpkin to come and visit.
The below patterns are geared for children but can be easily modified to fit an adult hat by using larger materials, thicker yarn and/or adding more stitches to fit the circumference of the intended wearer.

New Book Added To The YOH Library - Cabin Fever: Need A Hat? No-Sew Knitting
Yarns of Hope has received a wonderful donation - all the way from Canada! The moderator with Chemo Cap Pattern Library on Ravelry offered a few copies of the knit book Cabin Fever: Need A Hat? as a giveaway and chose our group to be one of the recipients!
Geared for knitters ranging from beginner to intermediate, this book's strong feature are the thoroughly detailed Size/Gauge & Yardage charts that create endless possibilites for all the hats featured in this book and essentially for any hat conversion outside of the book as well. If you want to make an adult hat with chunky yarn, the chart will provide the suggested needle size as well as the estimated stitches to use. If you want to make the same hat for a newborn using sock weight yarn, the chart has that information also. Include this with the basic pattern and presto! You have the same hat in two different sizes with different weighted yarns without having to break out the calculator!
Check out all the hat designs through the above link and then check out the book through YOH. I personally am anxious to try designs # 3, 5, 7, 8, 11 & 12. Heck, I think I'm going to make them all!
