I said I would put this up last week, but I got so sidetracked by the holiday and other stuff.
The shape of the week for my toddler and I (almost 2 weeks ago, now) was triangles. I couldn’t get them out of my head! And now Andrew can point them out, pretty much without hesitation. Huzzah!
Anyway, I recently bought a little moleskine from the one and only Punk Rawk Purl filled with grid paper. What started as a doodle one bored evening turned into me scribbling little knitting notes. Before long, I had a rough pattern!
I started knitting it and figured out the crown shaping and really…well, I fell in love with it! I finished it during my garage sale and made the boy wear it for a bit. It fits like a snug beanie on him, but it really fit my little boys’ noggins perfectly!
The glorious thing is that the pattern is pretty easily enlarged (or shrunken) by adding (or subtracting) pattern repeats. Yeah! I already knit it again with slightly heavier yarn and it came out just a smidge larger, so no tweaking was really necessary. I love when that happens!
I’ve been knitting for ummm 4ish years and this is my very first knitting pattern. It’s super simple and I haven’t really searched Ravelry for anything similar, so if YOU know of a pattern that looks like this, do let me know! If you’re interested in knitting one of your own, leave a comment or shoot me an email! I’ll send you the pattern and you can tell me what you think/if it makes any sense and I’ll see if I can get it blog-ready.
Ooohh I wanna try it! I’ll test knit it for you!

Thanks!!!
That’s such a neat pattern!
God knows I can’t knit for shit but let me just say that if you felt compelled to knit one of these beauties for me, I would make a donation to the Lisa is awesome fund.
Oh wow! It’s such a cute pattern!!
I’d love to test it out for you!! If it’s not too tricky that is…
Adorable! I’d love to see the pattern. I really admire anyone who can come up with a knitting pattern – my brain just doesn’t work that way!
Alright!
Thank you so much, ladies! I’ve emailed you all directly with the pattern. Everyone else–stay tuned for a pattern release soonish! I can’t wait to share!

I would love to give it a go- I loved it when you posted it over on Flickr and think it would be a nice spring hat!
I would totally knit that hat! It’s super cute.
& Yay! I am so glad that my moleskine holds the doodles/sketches/ideas for your first pattern. thanks for the mention btw. xox
I’d love a pattern! The boyfriend has a beanie/toque addiction, and I know he’d love one.
