Hey, everyone! As promised, we're finally bringing you my design for the knitted version of the popular crocheted hat, Urban Jungle. The new version called, Urban Planner, is worked in Blackberry Stitch to give a similar texture as created with the crocheted, Puff Stitch. Urban planner is worked up in Simply Soft Paints "Sticks & Stones" but would look just as great in any of the other seven other Paints colorways. Please continue sharing your finished beanie photos in our Flickr pool, Ravelry forum and/or Facebook page--we love seeing 'em!

It's a family affair as Vickie's children, Tanner (10), Tristan (8) and Clover (16 mos.) take a field trip with mom, to get the latest issue of Crochet World. That's Vickie & Clover in a Simply Soft® ad on the back cover of the mag!
