There is nothing look remotely lemony in the hats. They are collected in Lemon Hat series is because the stitch patterns in the hats' body are from Lemon dishcloths series. So why lemon? It is all about the furballs. I called them lemon furballs because they had bad habits and I sometimes threatened them with recycle and return policy from animals shelther where I adopted them lol Yeah as if they cared. They just gave me dirty look and moved on lol
There are at least four (4) in this series. Three (3) made up, two (2) published and one (1) is waiting for the light bulb moment
Furballs' Lemon Twist Helmet is basically rib type of hat knitted from bottom up. Faux and standard cables are incorporated in the knit columns of the rib. Decreases are hidden in the cables and converge to centre using drawstring bind off. Simple in construction with cables bringing in enough challenge to make the knitting interesting
There is also a matching cowl, Furballs' Lemon Twist Cowl. It is a fold on itself double layer cowl making it good with breaking the wind and keep neck warm
Here is the inspirational dishcloth
Furballs' Lemon Tea Helmet 傻貓檸檬茶頭盔 is also a bottom up hat. It starts with a designed rib pattern such that it flows seamlessly to form the lace / traveling cable to make up the leaf pattern. The cable lines are converged to center and use drawstring bind off to close
Here is the inspirational dishcloth
Furballs' Lemon Balm Helmet 傻貓檸檬香蜂草頭盔 is the one on back burner. It is knitted from bottom up and the pattern is a good different from the other two (2) with this pattern based more on horizontal wavy line. Even decreases in crown and converging to center using drawstring bind off
Here is the inspiration dishcloth
Adding in another Lemon hat: Furballs' Lemon Bee Helmet 傻貓檸檬蜂頭盔. It uses bee stitch in various combination to get the look. Easy to knit and it has a thicker feel to the other single layer fabric.
I hope you like this series and hope to see you all soon. MEOW MEOW for now
