However, the hat is knit in the round, so to get stockinette stitch in the round all you have to do is knit. If you are making this flat (and modifying) then you would alternate knit and purl rows.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782066036164365926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827501686189586572.post-89232251357334603242018-02-02T13:09:03.222-05:002018-02-02T13:09:03.222-05:00Need assistance after doing the ribbing the patter...Need assistance after doing the ribbing the pattern says to knit but looking at the picture of the hat it looks like you<br />You would do the SS stitch.

Is that just doing a chain stitch and then attaching it at the beginning and the end into the brown and then doing the cross stitches like embroidery the keep it down?

It would depend on the circumference of the child's head (and of course your grandma's gauge while knitting). Also, you might want to make the top white stripe before starting the decrease section. You'll have to see what it looks like as you go along. I do hope this helps! :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782066036164365926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827501686189586572.post-74204589715933640942014-10-17T00:03:47.866-04:002014-10-17T00:03:47.866-04:00Thank you so much for this pattern.

My 35 year old nephew and his wife decided that they would have a baby after all! 7 years married and telling us no babies. I was thrilled because I also had 2 other pregnant nieces (same family). I was sure it would be a boy but they wanted to wait and be surprised. So in the past 8 months I have made 14 baby blankets, 2 dresses, 2 tag blankets, and of course this hat for our "BOY" who turned out to be a beautiful girl. Offered to make a pink one and they could give the brown one to my niece having a boy just before the Super Bowl. But her Daddy wants the brown one and they are going to have a portrait done with it on her. So now I am making another brown one.

To do that you will need to cast on 2 extra stitches on each end to accommodate the seam.<br /><br />For ribbing these end stitches will be knit on the right side and purled on the wrong side.<br /><br />You can continue the crown shaping as written, but your stitch count will be different.<br /><br />Good luck! :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782066036164365926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827501686189586572.post-30112503881939552032014-04-09T21:46:40.800-04:002014-04-09T21:46:40.800-04:00Can this pattern be knit on straight needles and s...Can this pattern be knit on straight needles and sewn together ?

If you wanted ...I'm glad you like the pattern. If you wanted to make a smaller hat you could try two different options. <br /><br />One method would be to use smaller needles (maybe a size 6 rather than 8 and a 5 rather than 7) and follow the pattern as written. You'd have to experiment with needle size, gauge, and fabric quality, because you don't want the hat to be too dense.<br /><br />Otherwise, you could cast on any multiple of 6 that works for you. Is the hat coming out too long too? If it isn't, you can follow the pattern up to the crown shaping that matches the stitch count you started with. For example, if you cast on 54 stitches, you could follow the pattern as written and "skip" the first crown shaping directions (because they decrease you to 54 stitches in the original pattern). I would just knit them and then begin the crown shaping next.<br /><br />I hope that makes sense! Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782066036164365926noreply@blogger.com
