Hat BINGO for Clinica

Hello knitters,

Clinica needs more hats! Our contact there told us that they handed out the last batch of hats we gave her in a matter of hours! So we need to make some more hats. To make this a fun challenge, I thought we could try a game of Hat BINGO. 

Click here for your card: GET A BINGO CARD

You'll see 24 squares, each with a pattern name, and one free space in the middle. To get a bingo, knit 5 hats - all the patterns in a row (across, down, or diagonal). If you use the free space, you still need to knit 5 hats, but one can be any pattern you like - on the card, a duplicate, or some other pattern or improvisation you like. Snap a photo of your 5 hats for proof of your bingo - there will be prizes! 

I've included a few patterns we've shared on the website, and the rest are all free patterns on Ravelry. Many of them are adult size, but you can usually size down for a kid's hat (leave a comment if you need guidance on sizing a pattern down). Or just make an adult size - Clinica can use those too! Most of these are simple patterns, and a few are a little more challenging, with simple cables or stranded colorwork.

The above link randomly generates a card, so if you don't like your card, just click the link again until you get one you like. 

Here are the links to all the hat patterns. They are all free! They all use worsted weight yarn and approximately a US 7 needle (you can probably go up to 8 or down to 6 in most cases). If you have trouble accessing any of these patterns, leave me a comment here. 

Have fun with this! Let's see what we can do. I can't wait to see all your beautiful hats.

Note: If you don't have time to knit 5 hats, do not worry! All of your knitted contributions are appreciated, and we all have seasons of prolific knitting and drier spells. You are a valued member of this group regardless of your output. Feel free to use this list as a resource/inspiration/future planning if you don't want to play Hat BINGO.

    I’m currently making hats for the Bingo, but I have a question:
    I’m currently in San Carlos, Mexico and can’t go out to purchase yarn. Can I make the Twistmas pattern with worsted weight yarn?

    Thanks,
    Nita

      Yes, worsted should work for that pattern. Thank you!

Reminder: meeting Wednesday at 4:00

Just a reminder that we will be meeting this Wednesday, August 18, 4:00 at Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake. The pattern is a modified version of the Swirl Hat, a favorite from Hat Bingo . I think it uses about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, preferable something machine washable, and a US 7 or 8 16 inch circular needle. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: Meeting at Harlow Platts Park Wednesday 4-6

Just a reminder: we will be meeting IN PERSON at Harlow Platts Park (by Viele Lake in South Boulder) from 4-6 on Wednesday. We'll have a spot to drop off finished projects and pick up the new pattern (you'll need to provide your own yarn). Remember we'll also be collecting sweaters for the refugee project. If you'd like to stay and knit, please bring a chair or blanket. We'll sit in small groups rather than in one large one. Hope to see you there!

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, April 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Our project is a child's hat that you can make with or without cables. You'll need about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, US size 7 or 8 (4.5-5mm) 16 inch circular and double point needles, a cable needle if you are working the cable version, and 8 stitch markers, one unique for the beginning of the round. You can find the pattern HERE . Hope you can make it!
