This is a hat pattern I thought up when I got some super thick Lion Brand yarn.
Materials: 4 #10 1/2 DPNs, 6 ply yarn, and scissors.
Gauge: Not exact. 4x4 is kind of what you should be going for. I had to knit rather tightly on the 10 1/2s just to keep it warm. And the size is meant to be that big, super loose fit.
Ridge Pattern(worked over 4 stitches): Ssk, P1, YO, P1.
NOTE-ridge pattern starts on the first four stitches on each needle, the next row is completely knit, then the Ridge Pattern is moved over by one stitch.
Pattern: CO 20 stitches on each needle (60 stitches), work 5 rounds of K1, P1 ribbing.
Rnd 6: (These instructions are all the same for each needle, so I'll just tell you what to do on needle #1.)
Work first four stitches in RP, K rest of needle.
NOTE-Now, on every odd numbered row, you just knit all around.
Rnd 8: K1, RP, K rest of needle.
On every Even row, you move over the Ridge Pattern by one stitch.
Work in this fashion until you have worked 30 rounds, not including the ribbing.
31: Evenly decrease 6 around. It doesn't matter if they are equal, just try not to decrease over the Ridge Pattern. Use SSKs.
32 and ALL RP rounds: Move the RP pattern over by one stitch.
33: Same as 31.
Keep working like this until you have to decrease into the RP. If it turns into too much of a pain, just knit even for the last couple rounds. Once you are down to the last 6 stitches, work one more rnd and SSK each one. (3 stitches)
Break off yarn, pull it through the three stitches and fasten, weave in ends.
ENJOY!!!!
