Custom Knit Orders

I love writing my own designs and publishing them on Ravelry, Loveknitting and Craftsy for other knitters. But I also enjoy making items for non-knitters.

Did you know that you can order a custom hat from me? 
I currently have 3 different designs available.
Trax Hat, Rebel Alliance Hat and Richmond BMX Hat.

















Would you like to have your own text or logo on your hat?
Yes, I can do that! I create logo and or chart with Stitchmastery, a knitting chart editor program, and can incorporate it in the hat.














How much does it cost?
A hat based on my already published designs cost US-$40.

How much does it cost to have my own logo or text on a hat?
For a new design, which I will create based on your information, add to the US-$40 a one time fee of $20.

Can I design the logo or text myself to save costs?
If you can create the logo or text on graph paper (width: 5 squares/1 inch, height: 8 squares/1 inch), add to the US-$40 a one time fee of US-$5.

Do I have to use the same colors you designed the hat with?
No, you can use colors from a wide color list. I use Berocco Vintage DK and you can use from their color selection.

I don’t like these colors. Can I use other colors?
We can look for a different yarn brand online or meet at my local yarn store Dances with Wool. Additional costs might apply if the yarn is more expensive.

How long does it take it for you to complete the hat?
If I have the yarn on hand, I can complete the hat within a week. If the yarn is not available at the yarn store, and has to be ordered, it might take 2 weeks.

How do I take care of the hat?
Berocco Vintage DK is made of 52% Acrylic, 40% Wool, 8% Nylon and is machine washable, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry (no dryer).

Does the hat come in different sizes?
Yes, the hat comes in 3 different sizes. Measurements are after washing and unstretched. The hat is very stretchy and accommodates a variety of sizes.

Size S: 19 inches circumferences, 8 inches length
Size M: 20 inches circumference, 8.25 inches length
Size L: 21 inches circumference, 8.5 inches length

How do I pay for the hat?
I accept cash, check, or Paypal. I can provide you with an invoice. We can also make the transaction through my Etsy store.
