Post Subject: looking for a Patons' Pattern...
I lost this wonderful hat pattern last year and i've been searching forever to find it... it's called 'snowdrop' and appears in a Paton's pattern book, mainly comprised of cute winter scarves and hats. The cover is pink and has a woman on the front sporting a jaunty hat with heavily mascara-ed eyelashes?
It's a really old pattern book but i thought i'd ask anyway...

I goggled " knitted wee willy winky hat pattern" I didn't find any patterns, but the images I saw had a striped pointed night cap.

i'm no good with the math of knitting, but i can offer a source for a simple hat pattern that doesn't use much yarn
The Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits has a SUPER easy hat pattern (if you knit on circulars, there is no purling, just knitting around and around) The example in the book is striped, but I've made it with single colors, and it only takes one ball of yarn. It also turns out very cute and warm. pm me if you can't find it in your library and i can mail you a copy of the pattern.

Looks like a pretty plain, straighforward hat pattern. You should be able to find something just like it (or very close) in any fabric store.
The pattern will have the finished measurement listed on it, so if you need to make the hat bigger, you can just just to slash the pattern pieces down the middle and make them a little bit wider. Be sure to measure your head and the pattern first and do the math - you probably won't need to alter it very much.

Its really quite easy to make a hat pattern.
1. Get some brown butcher paper or other thick paper and cut out the pieces. (HINT: for the hat you pictures, the top will be a circle, the brim will be a skinny rectangle, and the band (the vertical part of the hat ) will be a rectangle with angled ends). Just make the band as long as your head is wide and you can eyeball the rest.
2. Carefully tape the pieces together with scotch tape or masking tape. Play around with it until it looks the way you want. You may need to go back to the drawing board and make pieces bigger, smaller, shorter, fatter etc.
3. Once you get it the way you want cut the pieces apart again by cutting through the tape
4. Trace the pieces onto your fabric and facing fabric adding 1/2" or so for seam allowance. You may want to also use some thin cotton batting to give the hat some additional thickness.
5. Sew it all together! Once again.. you may have to do some trial and error to get it right.... just remember to keep your seam ripper handy.

Totally agree, becca 13- why'd ya go and make me cry, Joss? In front of my hubby and a dozen of his Browncoat coworkers, no less!
Seriosly, we saw it the day it opened- fantastic movie! Strange thing is, I never saw Firefly while it was on Fox because Fox showed the series out of order, never showed some episodes, and basically screwed the series. Once the series replayed on Sci Fi channel, I was hooked! Now that we've bought the DVD set, we have my nephew hooked, too. I get to see Serenity again tomorrow- taking the nephew to see it for his b-day (any excuse, right?).
BTW... I saw the Jayne hat pattern-must go learn to knit now. Hubby and not-born-yet son need matching Jayne hats!
