First Fall Knit Hat
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
14 stitches + 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter Stitch (knit every stitch on every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
HAT Leaving a long tail, cast on 64 stitches.
Work in Garter Stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until piece measures about 9 in. (23 cm) from beginning.
Bind off, leaving a long tail.
FINISHING Thread cast-on tail into blunt needle, then sew seam. Thread tail from bound-off edge into blunt needle, then sew in and out along last row. Pull (like a drawstring) to gather top of hat and knot. Weave in ends.
First Fall Knit Hat Reviewed by Cindy Honeycutt on 2012-11-17
Like some of the others, I had a hard time understanding the finishing instructions. I didn't know if I should fold it vertical or horizontal. The hat in the picture looks much taler than mine, mine was more square, then I kinda stumbled my way thru the gathering at the top. I would like to make another but not until I can more clearly understand the finishing instructions.
