Knitted Hat for Sackboy
Well, here’s something I never thought would happen… a knitting pattern… on my blog… and whats more, it’s all my own work 
I actually only started knitting earlier this year, so at the most, 2 months ago… the reason… Sackboy. I found a knitting pattern by Alan Dart to make your own Sackboy, so after demanding my mum teach me how to knit, I got busy and knitted a Sackboy, who now lives with Spirit. But he was getting cold at night so she demanded I knit him some winter warmers.
So, I’ve knitted him a little body warmer (or gillet if you’re posh) and a little bobble hat, complete with pompom. I used 4mm needles and some Palette Collection yarn Series 019/219 (www.paletteyarn.com available from Hobbycraft in the UK, although it does look like the exact wool I used is now discountinued).
Cast on 60 stitches (thumb method) 1st Row: K2P2 to end 2nd Row: K2P2 to end 3rd Row: Repeat 1st 4th Row: Repeat 2nd 5th to 7th Rows: Knit 6th to 13th Rows: Stocking stitch beginning with knit 14th Row: (K2 K2Tog K2) Repeat to end (50 stitches) 15th Row: Purl 16th Row: Knit 17th Row: Purl 18th Row: (K2 K2Tog K1) Repeat to end (40 stitches) 19th Row: Purl 20th Row: (K1 K2Tog K1) Repeat to end (30 stitches) 21st Row: (P1 P2Tog) Repeat to end (20 stitches) 22nd Row: (K2Tog) Repeat to end (10 stitches) Thread yarn through stiches and tie off, stitch up to make a beanie hat.
There you have it,a nice little beanie hat… pompom is optional 
And in a Blue Peter stylee, here’s one I made earlier…
Beanie with pompom for Sackboy
I should just add… the gillet… went slightly wrong, so I’m working on another one.
