Schnapps is keeping busy and I am trying to keep up with him. His latest hat uses a simple fisherman's rib pattern and would be a great hat for men or women. This toasty hat was knit using Lion Brand Hometown USA, but the instructions for all yarn weights are included. This is a super fast, two row pattern that is easy to memorize and practically flies off your needles.

| Schnapps is excited that Christmas is almost here! |
This is such a busy time of year for everyone, but I hope all of you find some time to pass a little love and kindness on to those who need it most.

Hat picture is lovely.Thank you for your free patterns.I would like to make this but I am confused about the way to do it.How do I knit in the stitch below on Row 1 when there is no stitch there?Should there be a row brfore this?Also,the next Row is marked as Row 4 instead of Row 2;is this a misprint,if not what do I do for Rows 2 and 3?Hope you can clear things up for me. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteit's a 2 row pattern as stated in the description, so yes the 4 is a misprint. typically, you would knit a row for a foundation row for a pattern like this or you can simply k1, p1 for the first row
DeleteCan I use double thread of worsted weight yarn to get the chunky look? What size needles and stitch count would I use? Love the look & can't wait to get started, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can double worsted weight and knit the pattern as written.
