The Hat Factory

Moving right along here

check the latest hat photo.

The hat is a "One-skein wonder"

from the book by the same name.

It's titled: "New Directions Hat."

Designed by Margaret Radcliffe.

You knit the garter stitch border

on a straight needle 

to the desired length.

Bind off.

Whip stitch the ends together.

Using a crochet hook pick up

stitches between the ridges.

Eg. 180 ridges ( 2 rows equals a ridge) 

will allow you to pick up ninety stitches.

Knit until the band is 

one-third of the hat's circumference.

Isn't that a handy little bit of wisdom?

Knit 2 tog, knit next row

until you have four stitches.

I skipped the I-cord.

Aren't the colors to "dye" for?

Thanks just the same

I will purchase my yarns

pre-dyed.

See ya.

I'm off to the factory.

Lunch time is over.
