'Totally Tubular' Child's Hat

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

14 sts and 28 rows = 6 inches [15 cm] over garter stitch (k every row) using size 13 [9 mm] needles. 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.

NOTES:

Hats as shown feature contrasting ties; 2 balls of yarn are required. Purchasing a single ball of yarn will result in the tie being the same color as the hat.

HAT
Loosely cast on 42 stitches.

Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 8" [20.5 cm] Bind off.

FINISHING: Sew sides together to form tube. Work in ends. Gather top of hat: Using tapestry needle and working along one row about 1/3 of the way from top of hat, thread project yarn in and out of stitches all the way around. Bring yarn ends to inside of hat and pull tight. Tie knot to secure.

Tie:
Cast on 60 stitches. Bind off. Tie in bow at gathered position

'Totally Terrific Tubular' Child's Hat Reviewed by Jyl Milner on 2009-01-07 *****
I absolutely loved knitting this almost "mindless" pattern. I do a lot of knitting and crocheting for a variety of charity or humanitarian organizations, and this has become my new favorite kids' hat pattern.

Instead of working it in the yarn called for, I decided to play with the color, as shown in the two pictured hats. One is made of a strand of Wool-Ease worsted weight Blue Heather and a strand of Vanna's Choice Colonial Blue. The other hat is made of Wool-Ease worsted Paprika and Vanna's Choice Terracotta. Two strands of worsted weight yarn are about equivalent to one strand of #6 weight yarn. Since this project is for charity, I didn't check my gauge - the hats will fit two youngsters out there perfectly!!

The colors are enough alike and yet enough different that they become shimmery, almost iridescent. I usually use highly contrasting yarns together this way, but this is more subtle, more sophisticated - and this was the perfect pattern to try them out on!

For more information about playing with 2 strands of yarn at a time, copy and paste this link into your Internet browser:

Happy knitting!!!
