You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size only serve as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. The knitting tension is very individual some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. Sew the pompom on the top of the hat.ġ) Why is the knitting/crochet tension so important? 10 cm / 4" in diameter with 1 strand off white and 1 strand mustard held tog. Sew tog ridges in the side at the bottom of hat, sew in outer loops of edge sts. Cut the yarn and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. On next round K 1-0-0-0-0, then K 2 and 2 tog the entire round = 8-8-7-7-8 sts remain on needle. Then K while AT THE SAME TIME dec 1 st before every marker - READ DECREASE TIP, dec every other round 3-4-4-4-4 times in total = 30-31-29-29-36 sts. There are 9-11-9-9-12 sts between first and last marker. On next round K all sts - AT THE SAME TIME insert 5 markers in the piece as follows: Insert first marker at beg of round, then insert the next 4 markers with 9-10-10-10-11 sts between every marker. Work 1 round spiral pattern with K 2-3-2-2-3 and P 2. Work 2 rounds spiral pattern with K 3-4-3-3-4 and P 2.
Work 2 rounds spiral pattern with K 4-5-4-4-5, P 2.
Then dec while working spiral pattern as follows: NOTE! Do not stretch piece when measuring, the hat will contract vertically and in width because of pattern. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! Work until piece measures approx. Work until 2 sts remain before marker, slip next st as if to K, K 1, psso.Ĭast on 78-81-85-85-89 sts on circular needle size 4.5 mm / US 7 with mustard and work 4 ridges in GARTER ST - see explanation above, back and forth Then place piece tog and work in the round according to SPIRAL PATTERN - see explanation above. When working in the round, the pattern will displace 1 st towards the right on every round and forms a spiral pattern.ĭec 1 st before every marker. Pattern is over 7-8-7-7-8 sts and no of sts is divisible by 7-8-7-7-8 + 1.
