Oh my goodness.
I want to thank my beautiful mother and sister for being my models.
You guys are wonderful and I love you. And now you’re famous fashion models too! 
I can’t tell you how honored and delighted I am that one of my patterns made it into Knitty. In the five years that I’ve been seriously knitting I have used at least a dozen Knitty patters, all obviously free of charge. I am so happy to finally give back! Thank you Amy, tech team, and other designers for another fabulous issue.

Congratulations! Cool hat, too!

I found your blog through Knitty. Your pattern is great. Congrats on law school. I’m currently in my second year and it really manages to suck up your knitting time, but what little time you do get is so much more appreciated. Good luck!!
rhiannonrevolts // September 13, 2007 at 4:56 pm |
Congrats, Emilee! Wonderful pattern, I love the well defined lace-but-warm factor the Malabrigo brings to it.
Jen // September 13, 2007 at 5:59 pm |
Beautiful hat–especially in the smaller gauge.
KnittingCommuter // September 13, 2007 at 6:03 pm |
First–I saw the hats and said these I have to knit. Love them. Then I scrolled down and saw they were designed by my favorite former co-worker — what a surprise!! You are such an amazingly well-rounded individual — what with law school and previously working absolutely grueling hours, you have also developed an amazingly interesting blog. Hope law school is off to a good start–stay in touch. Miss seeing you around the office. Also, the apartment is adorable!

Hi! I just found your blog by way of Knitty and I’m so excited to knit Foliage! It’s going to be the first pattern on my needles from this issue. Thanks for the great pattern!
Elinor // September 13, 2007 at 7:45 pm |
Congratulations! It’s such a cute pattern. Great color choices too. You did everything right! =D
jupiterjessica // September 13, 2007 at 7:59 pm |
I was looking over the pattern (and loving it by the way) and I scrolled down to the bottom and thought, she looks familiar!! Congrats. This hat is definitely one of my favs from this issue. And malabrigo…yum! I can’t wait to knit this up in chunky!
Great color choices as well. The other day I was just talking about how orange was under-rated. 
Brynne // September 13, 2007 at 8:35 pm |
Congratulations! They’re both on my list, since here in Houston I can wear a hat if I skip a coat!
Jen (ndjen04) // September 13, 2007 at 8:46 pm |
Yay!! Congrats. This is a GORGEOUS pattern. Will definitely cast on soon
Hope law school is going well. Happy Knitting
Romi // September 13, 2007 at 9:51 pm |
I love these adorable hats!
Meg // September 13, 2007 at 11:52 pm |
I love your hats! I’m seriously considering making them – but I’ve never followed a chart before so this will be a fun learning experience for me! Good luck in law school!
kaiwa4 // September 14, 2007 at 12:25 am |
Yay! and congratulations. It’s a great issue in general.

Congratulations on your pattern! I’m looking forward to making one soon!
Anna JM // September 14, 2007 at 8:37 am |
Your Foliage-hat is definately one of my favourite patterns in this issue of Knitty. To be honest, one of my favourites in quite a few issues. Love it! Thanks for sharing your design with us for free!
Becca // September 14, 2007 at 12:17 pm |
Congrats and I absolutely love this design! I plan to start it during football on Sunday
kelp! // September 14, 2007 at 2:15 pm |
Congrats! I think this is my fave pattern in the issue – I especially like the chunky, supersized version.
weaverknits // September 14, 2007 at 2:55 pm |
Lovely work! What a great excuse to pick up some more single skeins of irresistible Malabrigo. Fantastic yarn choice, pattern, models, the whole package.
Michelle // September 14, 2007 at 3:49 pm |
Congrats! I actually bookmarked that hat as one I wanted to knit and had no idea it was you! Yaay!
Batty // September 15, 2007 at 7:53 am |
Congrats!
Those are so on my to knit list.
Soo // September 15, 2007 at 11:32 am |
Congratulations!!!!!!!
kvonhard // September 15, 2007 at 12:38 pm |
Since I don’t wear hats, I hadn’t checked those out. That’s awesome! Congrats!!!!
Kelly // September 15, 2007 at 3:07 pm |
OOooo… she’s famous! And fabulous. Now the whole world knows what was just our little secret.
Good job, chicklet. I’ll be making one for my girlfriend’s daughter, who’s going through chemo and collecting cool hats.
Stacie // September 15, 2007 at 5:02 pm |
Check out my finished Foliage at http://www.knaughtyknitter.com. I knit it in Taos, and I LOVE it!
Shorty // September 16, 2007 at 5:11 pm |
Congratulations!!! I love the hat, and have moved it to a very high position in my que. I just have a few gifts to finish first.
Anna // September 17, 2007 at 4:17 am |
I finished a Foliage in Malabrigo this weekend. Posted about it in my blog today. You’re welcome to check it out if you’re interested. Thanks again for sharing your pattern with us!
sillyrabbit // September 17, 2007 at 10:04 am |
Oh wow! Congratulations! I had no idea…I was just digging in my stash to see if i had a good yarn.
You’re so fantastic!
Sarah // September 17, 2007 at 11:29 pm |
I just finished it and I LOVE IT!!! When i saw it, i was so glad because the pattern called for malabrigo, my favorite yarn ever. Thank you for writing the pattern, I think I’ll make a few more in the future.
KelInCal // September 18, 2007 at 9:06 am |
Congratulations! Such nice patterns – I’m totally making several of the worsted versions! I’ve been wondering what to do with those lone balls of Malabrigo I have lying around.
Sally Villarreal // September 19, 2007 at 11:22 pm |
I’m loving it!

Well done – I love your hats, and your models as well!
Lita // September 27, 2007 at 9:54 pm |
Emilee!
WHY was I not in Tyler when you were the knitting sensei?!?! Unfair!
Lynn // September 30, 2007 at 8:09 pm |
It really is a lovely pattern. Thank you for sharing!
cleo // October 3, 2007 at 7:13 pm |
I loved the pattern when I saw it on Knitty and I started knitting it right away! Unfortunately, I think I’ve found an error in “version 2.” On round 15/16, you have 4 sets of 21 stitches, for 84 stitches total. However, on round 17, the instructions only have you knitting 19 stitches (four times), and even if you follow the instructions, it would add a total of 16 stitches, but you’re only supposed to end up with 12 more, for 92 total. I hope this description makes sense — and I hope you post a correction, because I don’t know if I can sort it out on my own and I really want to finish this pattern!
brilligtove // October 5, 2007 at 3:27 pm |
I’m on my third version of this hat…depleting stash yarn and making all my friends happy. Thanks for such a great, fun-to-knit pattern!
sarahbird // November 22, 2007 at 2:45 am |
I just want to say that I absolutely adore your pattern! Thank you so much for sharing it!
