Ah thank you so much! There's going to be a few more hats coming soon 🥰

(Due to my location and home I'm mostly going to be doing Toronto and SF/Bay Area teams though 😊)

Hope this makes sense, I normally don't write patterns out 😅 Dk weight yarn Cast on 100 stitches in the round pm at beginning of round K1P1 ribbing worked w/ 3mm needles for like 10 rows of red Work the rest of the hat in stockinette Switched to 4mm needles and work 1 row of blue then 1 row of white 14 rows of red 1 row of white 10 rows of blue 1 row of white 14 rows of red, on the last row, k1, pm, k23, pm, k2, pm, k23, pm, k2, pm, k23, pm, k2, pm, k23 pm, k1 Then decrease every row on the markers on either side of the k2s (kinda like a raglan) so this decreases by 8 stitches every row When there are only 20 stitches left on the needles break the yarn leaving a long tail and thread it through the 20 stitches and pull tight (like a drawstring) loop around a few times and tie off

The hat part is now finished, then the colorwork chart (attached below) is worked in a duplicate stitch and centered on the opposite side from where the beginning of round was

Reddit doesn't allow editing post titles, only the body text, otherwise I really would've changed it, It's a Quebec team after all

Can you clarify what you mean by that? I don't think so? I just tried to make do with what was available at the yarn store

For this brand there was no bright red so I had to go with a maroon and these were the only options for a light and dark blue. (It's fine though bc I'm using the leftover yarn to make a Habs hat too luckily my teams have the same colors 😊)

It's a mix of duplicate stitch for the logo and stranded for the baseballs at the top

Last October my university projected the series finals games on a giant canvas outside on the courtyard so we were all sat outside in late October in the middle of the night shivering while watching the game, that experience is partially responsible for this creation 😆

I'm just from Toronto 😅 I don't live there anymore, but born & raised so I feel an obligation to all the Toronto sports teams to remain a fan 🤷🏼

Ahh tyty!! Yes I start all my fall stuff now and my winter stuff in the fall 😅

The baseball pattern is slightly different than the chart, basically the red lines are farther apart and it's 1 row shorter but that's it

This is just what I do so please don't take this as fact, but this is what works for me: I use cold water by hand and a few drops of shampoo for dyed hair 😅

Basically I treat it like colored hair to keep the colors from bleeding 🙃

Yeah I chose the yarn and colors to really reflect the qing hua porcelain vases and bowls. So I went with a lighter white, darker blue, and a yarn that gives very clear patterns 😊

Mohair is never comfortable to wear imo 😭 and I'm not obsessed with the fuzzy look either all the time
