More Hospital Knits

Continuing to knit for the local hospital

Two more hats:
Palindrome Hats

This is an easy pattern. I knitted the first one in purple following the pattern exactly.
The second one is smaller, child's size. It has 96 stitches and I continued the cables all the way up the hat
Both have really thick brims which should keep ears warm in winter.


Pattern: Palindrome Hat by Kristin Bellehumeur
Size: 120 Stitches, 96 stitches

Apparently we are short of mittens so I made some more Antler mitts and then found this pattern also from tincanknits

World's Simplest Mitts


I knitted the first pair in solid green following the pattern for 32 stitches exactly

The second pair were Ciel and Gosling. Also 32 stitches. The only modification is the stripes and slightly shorter hand.

The third pair are toddler size but with 28 stitches
