Carnival Hat
I don't know what kind of yarn this is, but it looks festive, and I have a LOT of it.
Also, at this time, I would like to solicit prayer for my former English teacher, Jean Doherty. About a week ago, she was in a car accident. Her side and pelvis were crushed and she will not be able to walk for a long time. She is currently at the University of Virginia hospital. Please keep her in your prayers.

Hi, got a question on the first row instructions. Sez k2 p5 p3, is this correct? I'm a newbie knitter and not sure what I'm missing with two sets of purl stitches in a row ;) Think this will be a great hat for my daughter. Thx!
ReplyDeleteYup, that's what it means!
Deletethe picture is really blurry so I can't see the texture. But I'm going to try it anyways! But could you put a more clear picture of this hat on here for future readers, please?
ReplyDeleteIS THIS AN ADULD OR CHIKD PATTERN
ReplyDeleteAm using a 16" circular needle and find it is to long . The stitches are stretched so much it's hard to knit. Any ideas
