I’ve been looking through the hats on knittingpatterncentral, but Im not finding anything I really like…
DH’s work friend was diagnosed with brain & lung cancer…he’s just starting to lose his hair.
Has anyone seen a pattern that a fashion-conscious man might like? Needs to be knit in the round…no irritating seams.
Thanks!

I thought FOR SURE that one of our guys would point me in the direction of their favorite MANHAT pattern!
Bump!

I think we have all the same pattern links. What about a regular hat-hat? Men aren’t as particular as women about baldness and fashion.

I had considered Pismo, but its TINY yarn on TINY needles ALL in k1p1 rib! Im not sure Id have the patience!
I finally found a pattern in a book that my LYS let me BORROW! Link to the pattern pic and pics of the YUMMY yarn are in my blog thread!
I just finished a pismo hat tonight and it took me FOREVAH!!! :shock: Seriously, off/on for a few months, in between other projects. And right at the end I couldn’t take it anymore so I started decreasing every 3 rows instead of every 4 rows, and fastened it all off when I still had 30 stitches remaining. So now it’s got a big (well, 1/4" probably but it looks big) hole in the top. It is VEEEERY CUTE though and if I don’t feel like wearing it myself I’m sure my son will love it.
What about the coronet hat from knitty in a manly color??
