For snugger fit for children, use a size 7 circular needle.<br /> <br />Materials: Worsted weight yarn, about 2 ounces ( about 100 yards)<br />1 – 16 inch circular needle, size 9<br /> Gauge: (measured over stockinette st. on top part of hat)<br />9 sts = 2 inches and 6 rows = 1 inch<br /><br /> Directions: Beg at bottom brim of hat, cast on 76 sts. Join, being careful sts are not twisted around. Place a marker for beg. of round.<br /><br />Start Pattern: Purl around for 4 rounds, then knit around for 4 rounds.<br />Repeat these 8 rounds 2 times more, then repeat 4 rounds of purling around once more. Now work in stockinette st, ( knit each round) for 5 inches, or about 7½ inches from beg., decreasing 2 sts. evenly spaced last round worked. (74 sts.) (there should be 4 purl ridges )--some people add two rows here before dereasing, makes it easier to close up and still have room above your head. :) <br /><br /><br />Top decrease: * Knit 2 tog, knit 5 * repeating between *’s around, ending knit 4 (64 sts.).<br /><br />Last round: *Knit 2 tog, knit 4 * repeating between *’s around, ending knit 2 tog., K 2. Cut yarn leaving a length for sewing. Thread sewing needle with yarn end, and draw though remaining sts. Pull to close top. Fasten on inside. <br /><br />(you may want to draw yarn though all sts once more to make a more fully closed top) .<br /><br />Top knot hanging loop: Cast on 15 sts. Do not knit, but bind off in knit st.<br />Sew into a loop shape, and sew loop to top of hat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29000615.post-77552079861522752282010-12-06T22:10:47.033-05:002010-12-06T22:10:47.033-05:00please please would love to have the Quaker rib bo...please please would love to have the Quaker rib bottom hat and scarf pattern, lost mine in my house fire.<br />God Bless you sis and thank you for an uplifting site :)<br /><br /><br />Could you please post the free pattern here?<br />Have looked and looked to replace it.<br />I want to teach special needs children how to knit their own in my charity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
