Another hat, too big for Mei

Finished the hat I was working on for Mei. The yarn is a cheap, Lion Brand one. Unfortunately, I misjudged how it was going to knit up, and it's going to be too big on Mei. Oh well, there's still yarn left, I can just do another one.



Pattern (for a large head)

• Cast on 56 st on US size 10 DPNs (or circular). I used knitting-into-thin-air cast on.


• Knit until entire hat, with brim rolled, is 6 inches tall.


• Begin decreases. Alternate rows of decreases and rows of just knitting. Decrease in groups of 7,6,5,4,3,2 stitches.

• Pull yarn through remaining stitches. Pull tight, tie off. Weeve in ends.

Sam wants an interesting take on this hat ... a hat with a pony tail hole. I'm going to have to try that.

Edit: I made a hat a couple days later, same yarn, same needles, but starting with 49 st instead.


Pattern (for a small to medium head)

• Cast on 49 st on US size 10 DPNs (or circular). I used knitting-into-thin-air cast on.


• Knit until entire hat, with brim rolled, is 5 1/2 inches tall.


• Begin decreases. Alternate rows of decreases and rows of just knitting. Decrease in groups of 7,6,5,4,3 stitches.
