Add Color:
-*K4 with main color, k1 with second color*,

will look stretched)

anymore.

row.

-Cut the main color leaving a tail, thread your tapestry
needle with that piece of yarn and go through all the stitches (starting on the
stich next to the one you finish). Once you have all the stitches on the piece
of yarn pull hard to close the opening at the top of the hat.

ReplyDeleteSara,
DeleteI am glad you liked it and thanks for the comment. :)
can you please help me with making an adult hat? How many stitches would I cast on?
ReplyDeleteHi Amber,
ReplyDeleteIn the picture the hat looks small, but it is actually for an adult.
how long is this beanie?
ReplyDeleteKreasi,
DeleteThis hat is 61/2" to 7", it looks small in the picture, but it is for an adult.
Thanks.
Hi Amber
ReplyDeleteI'm using worsted weight yarn and double stranding the yarn. I only have a US 11 needle.
How many would I need to cast on? Would your pattern still work with one needle size to fit adult hat?
Thank you for your video and pattern. It's beautiful too with your yarn.
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how I would alter this pattern to make a hat for a 2 year old? I made one for myself and would love to make a matching one for my daughter but I'm a beginner and not sure how to make it smaller.
I would also like to make it for a toddler, a 3-year-old. How many would I cast on and how would I adapt this adult-size pattern? I'm not experienced enough to figure it out myself. I'd really appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHave wanted to know how to do Fair Isle and your video is the easiest to understand and follow. I also need instructions for a 20" head. Can you please help me? Thank you!!
