    Braided Hood all the way baby :)

  2. Rilana Says:

    I would make the Le Chic Beret. Mostly because I am into berets right now, and it’s crocheted. I have never made a crochet beret before. It wold be fun to try.

  3. Brenda Says:

    I like Le Chic Beret best because it is a grown-up hat and as a senior citizen I chose it. It was a secondary factor to learn that it was crochet. I am a returned crocheter and knitter, so it will be fun.

  4. Grace Says:

    I love that braided hood! It’s been in my queue since last winter. I think I might pick out yarn for it at the new design studio when it opens.

  5. Suzen Says:

    I like the Braided Hood, but I don’t know how to knit. Is there a crocheted version?

    Zontee says: Hi Suzen, check out some of these similar crochet hats: the cute and quirky Earflap Hat, the fast and kid/adult-friendlySpeed Hook Earflap Hat, or the adorable baby Elfin Hat.

  6. Heather Says:

    I like Le Chic Beret. It’s a classic style which works well with adults and younger children. Of course the color purple was an immediate draw!

  7. Momsknitting Says:

    Braided Hood!

  8. Jana Hunter Says:

    I like the beret best. I like classical things. I want to make a hood type thing for the winter, but I have a nicer pattern for that than your braided hood.

  9. Lindsay Sasseville Says:

    I love the Braided Hood, although i think i would put my own spin on it, but i love it and will now be going shopping for yarn for it…lol!

  10. Jennifer Says:

    I love the braided hood..it has me written all over it! lol! BUT I guess I will have to turn it down since I do not knit. Now, if it ever comes out as a CROCHET pattern, I’m there! ;)

    Zontee says: Hi Jennifer, see my response to Suzen’s comment (#5) for some similar crochet patterns.

  11. Kahri Says:

    The Braided hood!!! But, like Jennifer, I crochet!

    Zontee says: Hi Kahri, see my response to Suzen’s comment (#5) for some similar crochet patterns.

  12. Karen Says:

    I like Ed’s Hat. Looks like a hat made for skiing!

  13. Robin Says:

    I LOVE the look of the Beret. It has a look of class.

  14. Kelly T. Says:

    I like the Ed’s hat - the others are really cute, but the Ed’s hat is the only one I’d actually wear!

  15. SherryB Says:

    I’m a crocheter, if I could knit I’d make the Braided Hood. I like the Braided Hood cuz it’s different than most hats. I’m not a pink person so I’d have to make it in another color.

    Zontee says: Hi SherryB, see my response to Suzen’s comment (#5) for some similar crochet patterns, if you’re interested.

  16. carolee Says:

    Braided hood LOVE it

  17. lavon Says:

    I have been working a hat since I saw the first snow fall on wednesday of last week.

    Thanks for more hat to make.

  18. Trish Says:

    The Braided. It is fun and whimsical for all those who are not afraid to let their inner child come out and play.

  19. Sandra Woodall Says:

    Braided hood. It is different and fun looking.

  20. Tanya Says:

    I’d make Ed’s hat - could easily be resized for kids as well as being a great unisex pattern so I could also make it for the men in my life.

  21. BustersDad Says:

    Definitely Ed’s Hat! The other two are just not guy knitting material. . .

  22. Lion Brand Notebook Says:

    [...] What kind of hat? [...]

  23. Wanda Says:

    I make a 5 way crocheted hat that is easy and fun. You can wear it like a Bahama mama, French twist, Russian, top hat, hat with muffs. I really like it and am trying to figure out how to knit one that works the same way. It is easy and looks great on.

  24. valerie andrews Says:

    I prefer the style of “Ed’s hat”, though I have a pattern to crochet it. The reason I prefer it, I make 2 or 3 of these a day to put in hypo-thermia kits for the homeless in our area. I make the hats in multiple yarn colors, using whatever leftovers I have from other projects. The leftovers are from prayer shawls, and backpacks that I contribute to the church, as well.

  25. Pauline Kirby Says:

    Yes. For me the braided hood is the best. I would love to knit it, can we have the pattern please?

    This is a plea from England and we’re about to get snow so I will have to be quick!!. Actually, I’m such a slow knitter, it will be mid-summer before I complete the mission, but maybe it can come in useful for next winter.

  26. Laura Says:

    Ed’s hat is great! I made this one for my nephew. :)

  27. Marcia Says:

    I would pick Ed’s Hat. Simple I guess is why.

  28. Deanna Says:

    Like the beret but LOVE the braided.

  29. Mary Lee Says:

    Wouldn’t be caught dead in anything other than the beret. Ed’s watch cap might work for my husband, but only when he’s shoveling snow.

  30. Carolyn Says:

    I made Ed’s Hat for my grandson and he loves it! For myself I prefer the beret, but do not crochet so wouldn’t make this pattern. I have knit several berets for myself to match pullover sweaters.

  31. Idelle Says:

    I like ‘Ed’s hat’ for its flexibility in color options, fit for anyone whose fit has to be guessed, and appropriateness for either sex, and multitude of use occasions.

  32. Laurinda Says:

    If I’m making it for me, DEFINATELY the braided hood! If I’m making it for someone else, Ed’s hat.

  33. robin m Says:

    braided hood for me…it’s cool

  34. Leslie Says:

    I could not just pick one! I would want to do them all!!
