Title: Years of enjoyment
Product review: Since I've made several hats from this book I thought it was time to write a review. Many reviewers have remarked on the number of errata and I agree it is discouraging to have so many errors in one pattern book. But I have to say I've never seen such a nice assortment of styles in a single hat book, and with the errata sheet in hand all are doable for just about all knitters (although I would suggest starting with a basic style to get the hang of the various techniques indicative to hats, before trying one of the more elaborate designs). All of the other hat books I've seen (I own most of them) feature either very basic hats in a variety of colors and yarn choices to embarrassingly silly hats I wouldn't ask my worst enemy to wear. Hip Knit Hats includes a truly wide range of styles - nearly all of which I like well enough to wear myself or give as a gift - and all show at least one variation so you can see how changing the yarn or some other detail affects the final outcome.
