Sideways Grande Cloche

May 5, 2009 in accessories, hats, knitting by Sarah

Here is my Sideways Grande Cloche by Laura Irwin (Ravelry link here):

This is a lovely pattern from Boutique Knits: 20+ Must-Have Accessories. I had a good time knitting it, but I did not quite beat the end of winter — which I will certainly not complain about.

It has one of the main criteria for a winter hat in Saskatchewan — good forehead coverage.

  • Fried rice pick me up
    I used to live in China, and there are some things that I still miss, some things I don’t.  One thing that I became very tired of in China, but now miss is fried rice. I went to China without learning any Chinese at all, and I had to rely on others for many things,  including [...] […]
  • Granola
    Granola is one of the things I really like to make.  I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share: Recipe: 4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup oat bran 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 1/4 cup [...] […]
  • Lemon buttermilk cookies
    One of the most inspiring examples of food writing I have experienced is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg — and I have since started reading her blog Orangette.  I made these buttermilk cookies with lemon zest cookies from her index of recipes today: They are wholly satisfying — [...] […]
  • Cranberry jam
    I made this cranberry jam recently: It is quite lovely, and simple to make.  I got the recipe from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking, and as she says it really is very easy. I think I may make some next year and give it away for Christmas [...] […]
  • Pistachio cookies (recipe coming)
    I made these pistachio cookies a few days ago: My boyfriend says they are like me — not too sweet and a little nutty. Next time I will put them on parchment paper to make sure they don’t get to dark, and make a few more tweaks.  I plan to make them a few more times to [...] […]

Hi.

I love this hat. You have some cute stuff on your site. Could you please tell me what size knitting needles this pattern calls for? I’m interested in buying a copy of the pattern, but can’t knot anything too fine.

Thanks,
Faye

I am so glad you like the site. This hat calls for more than one needle size, but the only one I seem to have recorded is 4.5mm.

I hope this helps.
