whoosh, hat, pic, whoosh
Posted on October 21st, 2007 at 6:57 pmIt seems I’m only capable of hit-and-run posting lately. Le sigh.
But. I’m here. Not only do I have a knit thing, but I have an SPS pic too. ON Sunday. Yes.
Pattern:
4.5 st/inch gauge, to fit someone like me (22 inch circumference) CO 94 with smaller needles, knit for 1.5-2 inches, purl one round. Switch to larger needles (with which you get gauge). Knit til its big enough (I switched colors every other round, folded the brim up when the hat part was the same height and knit the brim together with that next round, then kept going). Do a crown of some sort. I go “K5, K2tog around; K one round plain; K4 K2tog around; etc” until I have just a handful of stiches left then cut and pull the tail through all of the stitches. Weave in. Tada!
Yarn:
Berroco Comfort, in Bitter Sweet and Olive. This is my 2nd hat from these skeins and I STILL HAVE SOME LEFT.
Comments:
I love turned brims; They’re so finished looking. And this yarn? LOVE.
(First pic has more accurate color.)

That looks great! I’m gonna bookmark it for when the hat-knitting-bug hits me this winter.

Where someone (ahem me) to want to add this to their queue and knit this, what should they call the pattern (for to aid in the Ravelry linking)? Love the turned brim!
