    About this ebook

    Let Margeau show you how to knit the hat of your dreams, from a stylish tweed cap to a playful beanie or a classic beret. Fifteen patterns, all well within the capacity of novice knitters, include earflap caps, a turban headband, watch caps, and other items. The designs offer a variety of attractive silhouettes and shapes, from fitted, traditional items to slouchy, trendy hats. Suggested yarns range from affordable to luxury, all chosen for their softness and sophisticated color palette.
    Margeau Soboti is a hand knit and machine knit designer with a BBA in Design and Management from Parsons, The New School for Design. A former editor at Vogue Knitting magazine, her designs have appeared in that publication as well as in Knit Simple and Noro magazines. She has also worked as a sample knitter for fashion-forward knitwear designers, including Wool and the Gang. More of her work can be found at www.margeausoboti.com.

      BLOCKING CAN transform your finished projects, and there are very few types of knitting that don’t benefit from blocking (or dressing) in some form or another. Adding water to a knitted fabric, whether it’s by soaking, spraying or steaming, allows th

      An eclectic mix of hats which are easy enough to produce by knitters both novice and experienced alike.I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Dover via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
    • 3/5
      This short book contains patterns for 15 knitted hats, 14 of which are variations on a watch cap. Pretty, interesting, but not much new.I received a review copy of "Margeau Chapeau: A New Perspective on Classic Knit Hats" by Margeau Soboti (Dover) through NetGalley.com.

      reviewed from uncorrected egalley.

      nonfiction/knitting patterns - hats. A nice selection of hats (mostly toques/beanies); would make a nice gift for a knitter. This does not include basic knitting instructions, but does provide a variety of patterns for various skill-levels (sometimes I like to review what exactly a yarn-over should look like, but this sort of thing is easily found online or in other knitting reference books). Photographs are beautiful and the pattern instructions appear complete.
