Knit Your Man an NFL Hat!

 NFL helmets

Fall is officially upon us and many of us are football widows this time of year. A great way to merge your passion (dare we say obsession) for knitting with his love of football is to knit him a hat in the colors of his favorite team. The folks at Cascade Yarns have been kind enough to send us a list of the corresponding Cascade 220 colors for each of the NFL teams. Need Niner colors? We’ve got it. Is he a fan of the Silver and Black? You’re covered for the Raiders. We’ve even got the colors for the Cowboys, Packers, Patriots and a few others. All the team colors and their corresponding Cascade 220 colors can be found here. We’ve got a list of all the colors for each team, so if we don’t have it in stock, we can easily order it for you,

If you are new to knitting hats and would like to learn how to work stripes in the round, please consider taking our Hat class. It’s two sessions - Sunday, December 2nd and 9th, from 10 am - 12 pm. The cost is $50. You’ll be done in plenty of time for the holidays, and he’s be able to wear it through the rest of the season and onto the playoffs!
