MATERIALS

• 860-180 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Cranberry 1 Ball • Double-Pointed Needles - Size 9 • Split Ring Stitch Markers • Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE:

16 sts + 22 rnds = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.

STITCH PATTERN K2, p2 Rib worked in rnds (multiple of 4 sts) Rnd 1: *K2, p2; rep from * to end of rnd. Rep Rnd 1 for K2, p2 Rib worked in rnds.

NOTES:

1. Hat is worked from lower edge up to crown (top of Hat), in the rnd on double-pointed needles. 2. The Hat circumference is designed to be smaller than you head – the Hat will stretch to fit. 3. When knitting in the rnd on double pointed needles (dpns), your sts need to be divided fairly evenly onto the needles. If you are working with a set of 4 dpn, your sts should be divided among 3 needles. If you are working with a set of 5 dpn, your sts should be divided among 4 needles. The total number of sts will not always be evenly divisible by the number of dpns that you are using – this is not a problem! Simply divide your sts as evenly as possible, you will still create a symmetrical ‘tube’ of knitting.

HAT Cast on 68 sts. Divide sts onto 4 dpns (17 sts on each needle). Place marker for beg of rnd. Join by working the first st on left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle and being careful not to twist sts. Work in K2, p2 Rib worked in rnds for 4 rnds.
