Another Football Sunday and another hat off my needles! Thank you Annie for the name! I'm all out of super bulky yarn now.......I've got to get to the store and pick up some more for these super fast knit caps.
Schnapps suggested taking the brim from this hat:
and making it into a bulky knit........and it worked.
The blue hat above is my Mountains of Hope pattern that can be found in my Ravelry store or along with 10 other never before published patterns in the e-book CAP-turing Hope. Remember that 100% of all proceeds from the sale of my e-books and patterns goes directly into covering shipping and supply costs for Delaware Head Huggers!
The pattern may also be found on Scribd.com as a PDF.

hi I'm trying to make your hat and am confused on the third row. If I don't take my stitches off the needle and knit the first stitch again that gives me two stitches on my right needle. help!
ReplyDeleteyes, you want to have the 2 stitches.........that's why you knit the stitch a second time. You knit the 2 together, then knit the first stitch again, then drop them both.
DeleteI love this pattern. It's quick, simple, and you don't have to use a cable needle to make this neat twist. I've made 3 hats with this pattern! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pattern
