Head circumference: 22″
Yarn: 2 skeins Bernat Cashmere Natural Blends
Needles: US 7 / 4.5 mm (circular and dpns)
Gauge: 8 sts / 2 in
Band
Cast on 72 sts in a round.
K4, P4 for five rows.
P2tog, *YO, P2tog* to end of round (71 sts).
Lace Pattern:
The pattern is worked with 72 sts, which is one more stitch than is on the needles (71 sts), therefore there is no start. The beginning of the round continuously moves one st to the left.
*YO, K2tog* 36 times (one past the beginning of the previous round).
*YO, P2tog* 36 times (one past the beginning of the previous round).
EDIT: I have added asterisks to clarify. For every decrease there is a yarn over.
Repeat the last two rows until the piece measures approximately 8 in from the end of the ribbing.
K2tog 35 times (36 sts).
*Slip two stitches together knitwise, K1, PSSO* 12 times (12 sts).
Cut a length of tail, weave it through remaining live sts, pull tight.
Sew in all tails.
Can you tell me what A/N means?
Is this pattern done on circular needles?
Thanks,
Carolyn
A/N just means author’s note.
This can be worked on circular needles or dpns, but it is done in the round.
Very pretty and girly. I like it very much and am printing it out for when my knitting skills exceed beginner dish cloths! Thanks for the pattern.
I like your FCerie cap but I in reading thru the pattern I became a bit confused. You start with 72 stiches and I don’t see where there is an increase but you later instruct to K2tog 72 times. Clarify please. an email to me would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Momajo
How can you knit 2 tog 72 times……that would leave 36 sts. Then on next row end up with 72 sts? Am i doing something wrong? Thank You Hat’s adorable!!!!!!!!!
I don’t see the picture so I’m not sure what i’m suppose to be making. and the instructions are a little confusing also. but i bet it’s a really cute hat!! lol
sheesh. how do these hats stay on peoples heads?
is this pattern beginner?
I just successfully finished making this hat. Thanks for the pattern!
Hi !
I am just starting to knit and love your hat. Can you please detail out for me the last instructions? ( *Slip two stitches together knitwise, K1, PSSO* 12 times (12 sts).) I’m sure if I have done more projects I would know what that means to do, but right now I don’t.
Thanks so much for posting your hat design. I’m excited to start it!
Hello,
This double decrease is fairly common in knitting but definitely a bit confusing. First, enter two stitches together as I’d to knit, then simply take them off the left needle so that both stitches are only on the right needle – then knit one stitch normally, next, with the left needle grab the two slipped stitches from right to left and pass them over the stitch you just knit.
Let me know if you need more help!
Thank You so much for responding and I really appreciate how well you communicated how to do that! No many people do or can so GOOD JOB!
Thanks for the pattern and help!
