Rooty!
A little silly, a little hippie-ish, this hat is named after our favorite local eco-café (Back to the Roots) where it was photographed and partially inspired. A simple hat with a quirky brim and some subtle texture throughout- work in two similar colorways for a blend-y effect or solid/with contrasting colors for something more bold. Here it's shown in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino (the worsted weight one) in Earl Gray and Filigree. (You can peek at the solid-colored prototype here. )
Bonus points if you can say the name without mentally adding “-tooty fresh and fruity” (I can’t.)
You can check ole Rooty out on Ravelry, here.

Cute chapeau!!
ReplyDeleteDon't need to add the 'tooty...' at the end. But root has a different colloquial meaning outside the USA. So I cannot help but call it "rootable," instead of "rooty."
ReplyDeleteI did add the" tooty fresh and fruity" in my head even without you pointing it out. Where does that saying even come from?
ReplyDeleteI think it's something you can order at IHOP... though I don't remember the last time I was at an IHOP, so that's still weird.
DeleteIhop has a rooty tooty fresh and fruity... errr.. had? Anyway. Thats what i thought. Such a fun hat! I always love your color/yarn choices and always look forward to seeing your next creation.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors of the yarn. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you guys :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable design! Love!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought that before getting to the end of your post.
ReplyDeleteCute hat!
I must be the only person on earth who has no association with Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity. That's a thing? But I'm also the bum who totally skated over your birthday without even a phone call or text message, so now there's really egg on my face. About the hat -- I am suddenly drawn to those bonnet-y type things, it's adorable and you're hired!
ReplyDeleteIt just means you never eat at IHOP, which is probably a good thing.
DeleteI suppose will forgive you, as there is a critter stealing your brainsmarts, and since I can never remember the exact date of your birthday either. I just send you a card sometime in October and call it good ;-)
I really dig this hat! Everything about it is great.
ReplyDeleteFYI: I know have "tutti frutti" stuck in my head.
Ooh, this is gorgeous! I must get my hands on some Madeline Tosh and have a night in with it, it looks scrumptious! I love the colours you've chosen :)
ReplyDeleteFaye
This hat pattern looks great! Good job!

The picture of you and all the ladies on the sofa has a little cowl with pom poms sitting on the corner. Do you have this pattern?
