Mark your beginning and join in the round. Knit one row, and then join a novelty yarn with your working yarn. Purl in the round on a circular needle for about 5 rows. Cut the novelty (eyelash) yarn and knit just with the working yarn (pink). To know how tall to make your hat, measure your head from about the ears to the crown. Add about 1 inch, or whatever you feel would be the right height. You can sort of try it on as you go. After you've knit to the proper height, there are two ways to finish the hat. One is to bind off the stitches, turn it inside out and flatten the hat, then sew the top edges together. The other way is to turn the work inside out with the stitches still on the needle, separate the stitches into halves, with even numbers on each needle and, with a 3rd needle, work a 3-needle bind-off.<BR/><BR/>For the top of the hat, I got curtain rings and crocheted around them with the eyelash yarn. If you wanted to, you could make pompoms instead and secure them to the corners. There is a picture of a baby wearing a hat like this on my etsy.com store, found at kreativekarendesigns.etsy.comKaren Dupaixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680579279291206811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16731517.post-77493736476552556112007-10-15T19:46:00.000-06:002007-10-15T19:46:00.000-06:00WOW---lovely pink hat and mittens!
