Scottish hat pattern | Jenjoyce Design

jenjoycedesign©Dicey Cap 2 There are three shapes now, and all modeled together here in one ensemble. First of the three, the latest shape added to the pattern and gaining in popularity, the Dicey Highland Cap (mentioned over in this post) with or without a toorie (that is the felted wee pom pom) . . .

Next, the original shape, the Dicey Highland Bonnet which was shaped with dramatic swag and swagger to emulate the traditional Scottish Highland bonnets . . .

And last, the Dicey Highland Beret, finished with an i-cord beret loop, and all together much more modest and a bit less voluminous than the bonnet . . .

So there you have it. The pattern is complete with the three shapes: Bonnet , Beret, and Cap. If you would like to try to knit up maybe one or two (or three or four) of them for Christmas gifts like I am, you can find the pattern available, once again, over HERE .

And after all the photo shooting, we settled into making a quick batch of raspberry moon pies for my nieces to take home, as is our tradition.

For some time I’ve been wanting to put together this third straight-sided shape to add to the bonnet & beret shapes of my Dicey Highland Hats pattern ~~ I’m calling it the “Dicey Highland Cap”. Now have it done & dusted, and pattern is updated to include it ! All that is needed is a bit of fun with my nieces and a photo shoot for all three shapes, when they come this weekend to visit.

Speaking of Highlands, here, the California Highlands is having a lovely slow turning of Autumn, alternately misty & cool and bouncing back up to clear warm days. Now we expect some rain and it will glue down all the lovely maple & oak leaves which have fluttered to the ground. I’m looking forward to some lashing blustering rain!!! For now we’re still out walking every day, at least once !

Was just out on the trail knit-walking and overlooking this …
