Daisy Chapeau - Free Knitting Pattern

Photos above © Jil Eaton What beautiful knitting pattern! I found it on Pinterest... Jil designed her Daisy Chapeau with the brim knit flat in garter stitch, to be seamed up later. The stitches are joined to work the crown in stockinette stitch in the round. This pattern detail makes for an even transition between the brim and the crown of the hat. If the beginning of the hat had been worked in garter stitch in the round, a “jog” in the transition between the two stitch patterns would have made for an uneven looking brim. Working the brim flat also allows the hat to be knit without any purl rounds! Download Pattern: Daisy Chapeau

Fish and Chip Babies - Free Knitting Pattern

The photo above © Cordelia When you think of using your knitting skills for good, few projects carry as much heart and impact as the "Fish and Chip" baby jumpers and beanies. The name itself might sound unusual at first, but it comes from a heartbreaking reality: in some of the poorest regions of Africa, newborn babies were once wrapped in leftover newspaper to keep warm—much like traditional fish and chips used to be wrapped.
