As a zoo volunteer I love to knit hats featuring our zoo's amazing animals. These adult size hats feature swans. The pattern has two styles -Swimming Swans with 5 swans swimming in a circular pond, & Kissing Swans with two facing each other at the center front. The swans are embroidered in duplicate stitch, creating a rich depth to the design on the finished hat. I used inexpensive & readily available Red Heart Super Saver for the samples, but any worsted weight could be substituted. The pattern includes large & complete swan charts for both hats, including duplicate stitch paths to follow. Gift tags to print are also included. I encourage knitters to use their extraordinary talents to help their favorite non-profit causes. These sample hats will go to our local zoo keeper chapter for sale at their annual fundraiser. All funds from KittyKnit patterns go directly to South County Cats for spay/neuter, foster & kitty adoptions. Support YOUR favorite charity with your talent.
