I'm thrilled to announce the test-knit call for my Woodland Hat, (which is a sister pattern to the Woodland Mittens!)

This hat pattern has been in development since 2014 (eek, really!), and, thanks to being the Q4 Release for my Pattern Muses over on Patreon, I finally got the kick-in-the-behind I needed to get this hat written up and done!

This hat is a double-layered reversible hat, knit with cables in worsted or aran yarn.  If you knit it in two colours, you can flip the brim of the hat up to cover your ears and show off the colour underneath!  It uses a provisional cast on to make both layers of fabric.

The sample was knit in *Squoosh Fiber Arts Ultra Worsted, in the colourways "Rock Candy" and "Mallowmar."  But, any worsted or aran yarn should work out well. 

The hat is worked on  4 mm and 4.5 mm *circular needles, though you could switch to double-pointed needles for the crown decreases, if you prefer.  (And, as always, you should use whatever needle size gets you gauge!)  As with all my patterns, the pattern is written that it doesn't matter what circular knitting method that you use.   

Anyway, if people are interested, sign ups are here on the Ravelry Thread! You will have to be a Ravelry.com member to view and post to the thread, but sign up is free, and Ravelry is an amazing resource!

The deadline for this test is October 19, 2018. Testers who complete the test will receive the finished pattern for free, as well as one pattern of their choice from my self-published patterns.

Also, if you want to be notified on Ravelry about new test knits, you can PM me on Ravelry to sign up in my test-knitter's thread. I'll also post test-knit calls here on the blog, and to my other social media platforms (Facebook, G+, Patreon, Instagram and Twitter ), and, I'll send out test-knit calls to those on my mailing list, as well, so hopefully, anyone who's interested will see my test-knit calls.

Well, I hope you would consider being a tester! And, if this doesn't peak your interest, that's ok!  Plus, I have my first crochet test coming soon, so if you're a crocheter, please, stay tuned for that as well!

Thanks for reading, and until next time, folks!  Happy crafting!
