Materials Needed
Size Us 7 needles (or size needed to obtain gauge) - circular or DPNs Brown Sheep Lanaloft worsted weight yarn - one skein Gauge: 4 stitches/inch in stockinette stitch
Instructions for the Hat Band
Continue to knit in the round until the piece is approximately 2 inches. When folded at the purl row, the live end should be even with the cast on end for the next step. Options for joining the band: 1. Pick up stitches from cast on edge as you go, knitting two together with the live stitches until the entire band is folded and joined. 2. Pick up stitches using an extra needle (circular or DPN) and knit two together until the entire band is folded and joined. Knit increase row: (K3, M1, K3, M1, K2, M1) x 10 repeats. 110 stitches total.
Body of Hat
Follow chart or written instructions - the pattern is 22 stitches wide, and repeats 5 times each round. Place a stitch marker after every repeat. Note: On row 33, shift all markers one stitch to the left. After completion of chart, leave a tail and break the yarn. Sew the end through the last 5 live stitches on the needle, pulling tight to cinch the hole.Weave in the ends and enjoy!
