Check it out! The pattern I thought I would not release, is now available in my Etsy shop. My lovely friend Susie modeled it for me this weekend.
But wait! Before you buy it, check out Wendy‘s pattern; she and I have coordinated the release of our strikingly similar hat patterns. There are a few differences between her design and mine:
- My hat is a beanie with a slight peak, topped with a button. Wendy’s is a beret, with a smoothly rounded top.
- My hat is worked entirely in stockinette stitch, with the tiniest of rolled brims. Wendy’s hat has garter stitch bands between the ruched sections, and a garter stitch brim.
- Wendy’s pattern is written for both sock yarn and worsted weight yarn while mine is written only for sock yarn.
Heck, maybe you’ll want to buy them both.

Yay! I love your cooperative solution! It’s so graceful and friendly, and makes me want to give you each a great big hug. /end mushy
yay! I’m so glad you released yours – they are both great hats and I might just need to get ‘em both!
I like it! I faved it on Ravelry for future purchase.
I love that you choose to cooperate instead of compete! I hope that, and your lovely patterns will be an inspration to others.
How neat, what a great idea to publish them together.
nice! and that is a great idea, the posting/linking the same day. things can get oddly absurd online, as in some of the plagiarism accusations.
