Little Devil Baby hat by MayaB
About This is a tradional Scandinavian design. These hats are called "djeveluer" that translates into "devi's hats" in English. It is a very easy project, suitable for a beginning knitter. For video tutorials on the basic techniques used I recommend visiting htp://www.knitinghelp.com Yan The pictures show hats made in pure MILK fiber by Viking of Norway. colorway 969 (big one) and 970 (small one). One ball of 180 yards/50 grams should be enough for at least two hats. However, any kind yarn willdo as long as the gauge is the same. Needles A set of straight needles size UK 11 / 3 mm. Extras Daning needle Gauge 27 sts = 4" (10 cm) in Garter stitch. Measurements 6 - 9 months: approx. 4" (10 cm) wide, 15 2/4" (40 cm) long before sewing up.

Knit into back of loop, making it a twisted stitch. This technique is offen referred to as M1lL: Make one leff. Decreasing: Knit next two loops on leff needle together as one stitch.

Finishing
Weave in remaining ends. Start with sewing up the back of the hat from the neck and up, then close the top as shown on ilustration. Make cords from the earflaps to tie under the chin if wanted. I just pull three strings of tread through the earflaps and braid them into a cord.
