Schnapps' latest hat, knit during football and finished well before the game! Many great names were suggested, several which had Chains or Links in the name. Since we have several hats with similar names, I went with Squared Away. This hat uses the square rib pattern, so it's fitting.
The model was stitched using Lion Brand Hometown USA, but the pattern contains instructions for all yarn weights as well.

Thanks for sharing the patterns, well just in time as I am looking for a new hobby to deal with my spare time this season , Indeed this knitted Hat is perfect as this season is really chilly specially at night.
ReplyDeleteI am reversing this pattern for use on straight needles and it doesn't seem like the boxes are showing as clearly as in your photo...I am using yarn that changes color throughout, so perhaps that might be the problem?
ReplyDeleteHELP: I am confused about the p2b (purl the stitch 2 rows below the next stitch)-does that mean you will increase the number of stiches per row?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
No, you purl the stitch 2 rows below instead of the next stitch........
DeleteThen what do you do with the next stitch?
ReplyDeleteYou work that as the pattern says, after purling 2 rows below, the next stitch is knit.
Deleteplease it is very hard to read the green background...please keep it white and black...i make copy and can't read...the green is too strong
