Fountain Hat - Knitting Pattern

Fountain Hat
by Katie Himmelberg, assistant editor
Spring 2008

This hat was inspired by the 2006 movie The Fountain. Director Darren Aronofsky tells a sci-fi love story set in three tenses with amazing visuals. The floppy shape of the hat is similar to a hat worn by one of the main characters, Izzi (Rachel Weisz). Katie Himmelberg chose the beautiful molten-gold-colored yarn to echo the film’s frequent use of the color and divided the patterning on the hat into stars, fragmented stars, and then an empty field of stockinette to represent the three narratives of the story.

Barrymore Slouch Hat - Knitting Pattern

Barrymore Slouch Hat
by Lisa Shroyer, senior editor
Spring 2008

This hat looks nothing like the inspiration hat; it’s more a memento than a replica. Lisa Shroyer was inspired by a chullo-style earflap hat Drew Barrymore wore in one of my favorite movies—the girl-power film Boys on the Side (1995). The two colors of La Lana Phat Silk Phat she chose didn’t have enough contrast to work the two-tone stranded pattern she’d originally planned, so she opted for a big, slouchy, striped hat that she felt Drew (and her character Holly) would wear.

“I treasure the magazine—my copies show the wear and tear of my handling them over and over (even your advertisements are colorful and informative.) I have improved my knitting skills by making many patterns you publish that are irresistible, and I have been inspired to depart from old knitting habits by the creativity of your knitters.”
