Edited to add on Sept. 8th: The giveaway is now closed and no further entries are being taken. Thank you everyone for entering! I'll have another giveaway very soon.Hi Knitters,
The book includes schematics for each hat, a wonderful sizing chart for hats (a perfect reference to have on-hand), 20 patterns for boys and girls, an illustrated instructional and technique section, an abbreviation glossary, multiple photos of each pattern, a wide range of easy to find yarns.
There are hats that use garter stitch and short row shaping, hats that use stockinette stitch and many textured hats as well. A couple of the hats sport buttons which I love.
There are hats that twist and turn the direction of your knitting without sacrificing fit.
I love the simple designs the most. The photos are clear and sweet and detail oriented.
How wonderful is this simple but glorious handknit hat? I absolutely adore it.
I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. The last couple of days have been cool, crisp, sunny and gorgeous in the Mad-city, my favorite weather ever.
This morning I have a treat and a half for you. Woolly Wormhead has a new hat book out and she has generously offered to 3 of you a chance to win a copy. Two copies will be in pdf form and will be delivered to you via email and one copy will be in printed book form like the copy I am sharing with you today.
The book is called Woolly Wormhead's Bambeanies and inside there are 20 fantastical and clever hat designs for you to knit. The size range is from a 16 inch head circumference to a 20 inch head circumference. 16-inches would fit toddlers and just as a reference, I usually make my own hats to measure right around 20 inches. This is a great span of sizes for you to choose from.

There isn't one hat that I wouldn't knit and love.

How wonderful is this simple but glorious handknit hat? I absolutely adore it. I think Woolly Wormhead has a wonderful design energy and zest for hats. She is a girl after my own heart. I got to meet her very briefly at TNNA this summer and it was a thrill for me. I am a longtime fan of hers.
If you are interested in winning a copy of the book please leave a comment on this blog post. Please leave your email or ravelry id/name in the post so I can easily get in touch if you win.

This book is a great addition to anyone's knitting library. I promise that you will love it! If you don't win you should consider getting a copy for yourself.
Good luck and let the comments begin.
