Thankful for beautiful fall colours!

Category Knitting

Required one ball 1.75 OZ ( 50g) in light 3 – 100% Acrylic yarn – I used: Patons Astra “Wild Wizard” yarn.

Cast on 80 stitches on 16 inch (41 CM) number 4 (3.50 mm) circular knitting needles.

I prefer Clover Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles.

Rib (Knit 2 Purl 2) for 2 inches.

Change to number 6 (4.00mm) circular knitting needles and increase 1 stitch (to 81 stitches); continue knitting in stocking stitch for 5 inches. With circular needles you knit each round.   Please refer to the post “Toque” to  shape the crown.   NOTE – this is a lighter weight yarn – therefore smaller needles were used.
