Beanies & bobble hats : 36 quick and stylish knits

Hip hats to knit yourself, including berets, hats for children and even a headband or two.

Walk down any street and count the number of beanies and bobble hats you see - they are everywhere, and not just on cold winter days, but as a fashion statement to be worn throughout the year.

Now Fiona Goble has designed 36 fun and fast-to-knit hats for you to make, for yourself or your friends.

With great yarns and colour combinations, and styles ranging from a fair-isle border beanie to a pixie pompom hat, you will stand out from the crowd.

There are hats for men, women and kids, including hoods, headbands and even a knitted crown.

As with Fiona's previousbook, 'Scarves and Cowls', many of the projects are quick and easy to knit, and only use a couple of balls of yarn.
