DK – Badger Hat – FREE – pattern download
I am a volunteer for visitwoods, as part of my role I visit local woods and take photos while walking round.
I post the photographs and comments on the visitwoods website on the woods specific area for others to see what it is like and encourage others to visitwoods.

I wrote a badger hat pattern for visit woods to use as a free download pattern – you can find it here, while downloading the pattern why not have a look at the visitwoods website and visit a woods near you.
Don’t forget to write about your woods adventures and how much you enjoyed your visits – here

Hi
Either by clicking on FILE (top right hand corner of the document window) and then Print. Or you can click on the printer icon at the top right of the window.
Thanks

There seems to be a section of the Free Badger Hat pattern missing – for the outer hat you need ; –
HAT OUTER
Ear flaps – make 2 as for hat lining – Work as for joining in of ear flaps on hat inner.
Hope this clears the confusion up for everyone – I am not sure why this part doesn’t appear in the live version of the Badger Hat pattern.

Hi
I have never had a problem with the link to the Free badger hat pattern – here is the direct link
http://visitwoods.org.uk/en/visit-woods/things-to-do/Documents/badger-hat-knitting-pattern.pdf
If you still have problems it is likely to be your download speed.
If you are still having problems – if you put a google search for the pattern it seems to now be all over the internet!!!
Happy knitting

Hi! I seem to be having the same problem as everyone else. when i click any of the links it just goes to the general home page for the woodland site and even after searching the pattern on the site I can’t seem to find it. Thank you for your help

Hi Izzi. I wrote the pattern for the Woodlands Trust years ago, they have the copyright – I take it they have probably taken it off their website – if everyone still wants copies of it you could email them how popular it is and they might email you a copy of put it back on their website.

Hi Claire
I wrote the pattern for the woodlands turst and they had it on their website – it looks like they took the link down from their site – so many knitters seem to still want both the badger hat and the bluebell hat pattern its a pity – maybe everyone she email / message the woodlands trust to put them back on their site!!
I will email them myself and ask if I can have the copyright back if they don’t want it anymore
Thanks

Hi Sue
I did write to Woodlands Trust who said they were putting back on their website, I am not sure if they have or not. But I put the Badger hat pattern in my Ravelry store as a free download for Woodlands Trust. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dk-badger-hat
Thank

Hello, the link to Ravelry is just the general project page. The pattern is not available there. ( it says no longer available, and leads back to this page). When I went to the Knits-r-Us shop page on Ravelry, I only saw patterns for a chunky hat or chunky headband. Would you please direct me to where I can purchase the DK weight pattern?

Hi Natalie
Are you a member of Ravelery? You have to be a member to log in, I have just checked my link and the link is still working for me.
The hat is knitted in two layers, both the layers are DK.

I’m having the same problem. I’m logged into Rav, but I come to this page and I can’t download the pattern, and the visit woods website is no longer working. I would really love to knit this pattern for my nephew for the holidays!

Hi Carrie
I have written to Visitwoods a few times explaining how many knitters are still getting in touch with me re the FREE Badger Hat knitting pattern I wrote for them. I have asked they either re put it on their website or give the copyright back to me, I have not heard anything back – maybe more people need to contact Visitwoods themselves and request it?
