August 19, 2007 - Posted by Alice SchneblyUnphotogenic Odessa*I’ve been working on organizing my office and craft room and I came across a few FOs that I never got a chance to post about! I’m excited to get to show you some things that never got their 15 minutes of fame… so today I bring you…  Project Specs I started my Odessa hat right after I finished my first Inga hat. I really must have been in a hat knitting mood, because right after I finished my Odessa, I knit up a Fake Isle hat! I really enjoyed knitting the Odessa pattern. It kept my interest, yet it wasn’t so difficult that I needed to keep looking at the pattern over and over. This was the first time I used beads in my knitting, and it was much easier than I anticipated. The only think that irked me was that I encountered a knot in the yarn about an inch in into knitting the hat and I had to restring all my beads! I chose a DK weight yarn made by Cascade called Bollicine Dolly. It’s 100% extrafine merino and felt really soft in the ball. It’s not quite a soft knit up but it is certainly still comfortable enough to wear next to the skin. The beads I used were cheapo purple iridescent beads from Michaels, and I like how they shine all sorts of different colors! I can definitely say I will be knitting this hat again. I think it would look pretty with Swarovski crystal beads, and would even look great without beads at all! *I tried so hard to get a decent picture of this hat... but it just wasn't happening! Finally I decided this was the best I could do. |

I love this hat! Just wondering if someone could send me the pattern plz!!
Me too!
lots of time trying to find the Odessa pattern online to no avail.
I would be so grateful for an electronic pattern emailed to me.
FYI Ravelry.com is rumored to have it, but you have to apply for membership, and it appears that it takes awhile before you get in. ;[
I was hoping to make this hat this weekend.
I would love to get a copy of the Odessa Hat Pattern. It would be a great charity project and also for friends and family.
I got a copy of this pattern, but yours looks a little different to me than the lavender one in the pattern. Would you please share with me how you made the ribbing "stick out" more than in the pattern? or is it the type of yarn you used that makes it look different? Thx.
Amber :o)
really love this pattern, but after much searchng, can't find it on the web..... is it possible to get one from somewhere? thanks, donnaJ
Hi, The hat is beautiful. I would like to knit it. But the web site magknits.com is not functional any more. It seems to have shut down. If you have the pattern, could you send it to me? I want to knit it for my daughter. Thank you.
Poonam.
If you have an electronic version of the Odessa hat, would you please e-mail it to me? I only have printed copies and want to send it to someone across the country. I don't know why, but I am unable to bring up magknits.com - the original source of the hat pattern.
Thank you in advance.
Isn't that pattern great? I knit one in a cornflowery blue, and left out the beads because it was too... cute, I guess. But they look really beautiful with the black -- reminds me of hat styles from the 20's & 30's. Nice job!
I've seen this hat before, but never in black. I love the look of the beads against the dark color.
The hat looks great, love it in the darker color!! I just finished my Odessa last week - I think mine feels a little short on me, but I can deal - if I knit it again I would also make it a bit longer.
Love the hat. Thanks for the info on how you knit the hat longer before the decreases. My first one, my daughter got it, it was too short on my head, and one of my favorite colors too! Good think I have yarn strung with beads for another one.
