Both the hat and neck warmer knit up quickly – how could it not when using size 17 needles! It always takes me a little getting used to knitting with the bigger needles – I have a hard time holding on to them when doing the stitches.
Quick Knit Hat (I did get this pattern out of a knitting book, but I have no idea which one)
Items Needed
1 skein bulky roving yarn
#17 needles
Darning needle
Gauge: 8 stitches = 4 inches
Size/Circumference: S (19″), M (20″) L (21″)
Pattern is written for small with medium and large in parenthesis.
1. Cast on 38 (40, 42) stitches
2. Work in Stockinette Stitch – St st (knit one row, purl one row) until piece measures 6.5″ (7″, 7.5″) from cast on edge. Begin decrease.
