'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.

| '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!!!
