Diamond Dimensions Hat and Ear Warmer

A Free and Paid Knitting Pattern





I have two new knitting patterns for you today. I wanted to make a similar hat to my Wellsley Hat, but without the extra seaming. This time the texture pattern is a little bit different and the band is kitchener stitched together for a seamless finish. Below I will have the free pattern for the ear warmer and there will be a chance to buy the hat pattern through my Ravelry Store. 

While I was working on this pattern I thought it would pair really well with my Diamond Dimensions Neck Warmer, so that is why you might recognize the name. They would be the perfect set to gift together.

This time I used Patons Canadiana Yarn for the ear warmer and hat. This is some of my favorite yarn, I have never been unhappy with it. I wore this hat the other day, and I forgot the hat was even on. This yarn is just so comfortable and soft.

**Can I just say one quick thing about the Wellsley Hat? It's been up on the blog for 2 months and it is already my top 7th pattern on the blog out of almost 7 years of designs. Thanks for all of your love on this pattern.**

  1. Could you show how to do the right and the left twist stitches. I did not understand how you do it.

  2. Go to You Tube and search right twist Stitch knitting and then left twist Stitch knitting. I find tutorials on You Tube for whatever Stitch I need to learn.

  7. Jana - I think that when the headband is finished you pick up stitches on the side of the band and then you knit the jersey or stockinette stitch the length of the hat that you want. To close, maybe knit 1 then knit 2 together to end of row OR maybe knit 2 together to end of row. Depends what look you want.
