Weave in ends. 1 - Full quote from John Winthrop: "For this end, we must be knit together in this work as one man, we must entertain each other in brotherly affection, we must be willing to abridge our selves of our superfluities for the supply of others' necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other, make others' conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body. Source 2 - You can use any caston that you like - the stretchier, the better. For my sample hats, I've used Jeny's Stretchy Slip-Knot Cast-on. 3 - This pattern is based on repeats of 8. To change the size, simply add or reduce stitches in multiples of 8. For instance, for a baby hat, you may wish to cast on as few as 32 stitches, and knit for 18 rows before beginning decreases.

Please consider donating some, though, to a cause you support. This is my very basic, go-to pattern for charitable knitting - homeless shelters, chemo caps, fundraisers. I was prompted to set it down and share with others as part of the 2015-2016 initiative to welcome Syrian refugees to Canada with warm and cozy handknits.
