Cosy hats for chilly days

The Southern hemisphere has well and truly arrived - our warmest and dryest wishes are with all those who have suffered from the heavy rain and flooding over the recent weeks. 

Days like today, with hail and wind, make me want to pull on the warmest, cosiest hat possible. Here's a few that i'm loving lately:

 Classic cuffed hat from the Purl Bee (we have one knit up in Zealana Heron in the Grand Arcade shop)

 Puck is a super cute kids hat by Dani Sunshine - it would be great knit up in Vintage DK

Gather comes in a full size range from tiny to full-grown, from Tincanknits

 Basic baby hat is a free pattern by Heather Tucker - perfect for using up odds and ends of 8ply.

The trouble I always have, especially with kids' hats, is figuring out what size to make. Here's a really handy chart from Tot Toppers:

Happy hat knitting, and stay warm!
