{"product_id":"racoon-hats-knitting-pattern-by-kittyknits","title":"Racoon Hats","description":"\u003cp\u003eRaccoons are extremely intelligent \u0026amp; inquisitive creatures with a great memory. While gaining an unfavorable reputation in some environments, they’re one of the best urban-adapted animals in the world \u0026amp; serve an important niche in the ecosystem as a pest-control and cleanup crew. This hat was designed as a tribute to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basic hat is a circular knit worsted weight watch cap with an additional ringed tail. \u003cem\u003e(I used a Magic Loop needle and RedHeart Super Saver® yarn for the samples.)\u003c\/em\u003e Separate instructions for 5 hat sizes are included, from Child 3-10 to XL-Adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe embroidered face is done with duplicate stitch, \u0026amp; the pattern assumes a knowledge of this technique. Fair Isle \u003cem\u003e(knitting with 2 or more colors across a round)\u003c\/em\u003e \u0026amp; intarsia \u003cem\u003e(knitting with separate blocks of color\u003c\/em\u003e) will not work because the embroidery includes half stitches. Detailed charts for each face color are provided. 8mm glass beads or buttons make the eyes stand out. It’s a unique \u0026amp; fun hat for folks of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Designer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56743225557370,"sku":"UPID192056","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/c0c3ee8c8d5a7819ec4f1e91f583a3845ec86488_UPID192056_17284166401847.jpg?v=1775839813","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-us\/products\/racoon-hats-knitting-pattern-by-kittyknits","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
