Between the snow that started falling last night and the days to get gift-knitting finished dwindling, I'm looking for all the quick, warm, knit patterns that I can, anybody else? Thankfully, Elizabeth Felgate just released a hat pattern, After the Rain, that looks like it will be both a quick and warm knit, perfect to keep everyone warm. (The pattern is genrously sized from a 4 year old to an Adult Large).

 Elizabeth, the designer, says the following about her piece: 

 After the rain, the world is washed clean. Even in the muddy depths of a wet winter, pebbles shine with newly revealed colour, evergreen leaves gleam, and the clouds break to show the sky. This is a hat for hope and new beginnings.

Refresh your knitting mojo with some new skills too. Double knitting in DK yarn provides a warm double-layer hat, whilst one simple pattern row creates some texture and allows a multicoloured reverse side yarn to peek through like little jewels emerging from their ore.

I bet if you cast this one on this evening, you'll have a new hat before the end of the week! Happy knitting!

You can find the pattern here
