Three Twists

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!!!!

  This is a hat that is very adaptable. I made it for my dad, but it fits pretty much every adult head. It can be lengthened to a more slouchy fit, too.

  Materials, Red Heart Super Savers in Pumpkin. (Two strands are held together.)Scissors, and a set of four #10 1/2 DPNs.

  CO 20 stitches on each needle, work seven rounds in k2xp1 rib, Knit 20 rounds. If you want a slouchy hat, knit 5-10 more.
 Now, to shape the top,
    21: K 6, K2tog around
    22: K 5, K2tog around
    23: K 4, K2tog around
    24: K 3, K2tog around
    25: K 2, K2tog around
    26: K 1, K2tog around  
    30: K2tog around. Break off yarn, pull through loops and fasten tightly. Weave in ends. Enjoy!

Palm Readers

 This is my first venture into Fair Isle/Norwegian knitting. I drew up this pattern and made a chart with Tricksy Knitter's chart maker. Have fun!

 Materials: A set of four #8 Dpns, scissors, worsted wight yarn in two colors. (I used Plymouth Yarn's Galway. The red was color 16, I can't remember the other.)

  Pattern: CO 12 stitches on each needle,(36), Knit 1 round in C1 (brown). Work 8 rounds of corrugated ribbing, the knits being in C1, and the purls in C2.
 
   Now, work one repeat of the chart, one chart fits one needle. After the chart, Knit all stitches on the first needle with C1. The next needle makes the thumb hole.

  For this, knit 3, BO 6, K3. Knit the rest of the round.
Knit until the bind-offs, CO 6 over the hole, K3 and knit the rest of the round.
  Knit one more round even, then work six round in corrugated ribbing.
