How is it, Isela, has gotten MORE beautiful over the years? I’ll have what she’s having, lol!
Beautiful hat, too!!!
Thank you Alyna!
How would I Convert this to a1/2 gauge loom? How any pegs?
Use the gauge that is provided and then try to match it to your loom. You could also use the regular number of pegs that you use for a hat in your 1/2 gauge and follow the stitch pattern. The stitch pattern is a multiple of 4 (*k2, p2), worked for about 5 inches, then one round of knit, then again the ribbing as in the beginning, except reversed (*p2, k2), knit for 5 inches, then a few rounds in stockinette. Then bind off.
TY for responding! Will give it. Try!
You’re welcome!
i wonder, what CO method did you use?
The ewrap cast on. After completing the project, I tightened up the cast on. However, you can use whatever cast on you prefer.
did u use regular knit stitch? what do u think about using the uknit? did u reverse rib to p2k2 just for design. thanks
Regular Knit Stitch. If you want to substitute with the uknit stitch, you can do it, however, the item may be smaller. The reverse rib (p2,k2) was done so that when you flip over the brim, the knits sit inside the purls of the bottom layer.
