Quick-Easy-Teen Hat Pattern Needed
WOW - After dusting off the Bulky machine yesterday my daugher
impressed us all with whipping out super trendy scarves for all her girlfriends. Now, she wants to make some kind of hat for the guys on her list. While my sons and I are "struggling" with a pattern on the standard machine upstairs for my Mother (we are all sort of beginners here with limited experience)....she wants to make sure she doesn't end up with a project like ours that involvs removing onto garter bars and shaping etc. (we should have read the pattern before we started....that's what I get for letting the boys pick the project by the picture). Anyway, she can use either the standard or bulky punchard and both have ribbers. Any simple - quick- trendy guy pattern out there? Thanks a bunch from my daughter! Joy |

Make 10" of stockinette fabric, bind off, sew up the side seam and
"fold" the corners in to sort of flatten the top. Add a pom if you're so inclined.

The easiest is a length of Fisherman rib, changing to plain 1/1 rib for a few rows at the end, then putting the ribber stitches up on top of the main bed stitches for a row. Cut the yarn and take the stitches off on a yarn needle to gather them. Tie it tightly and use the rest of the yarn to seam the sides together. 48 to 50 stitches on the Bulky at tension 5 or so, will fit an average head because Fisherman rib likes to stretch wide. This also means you might want to make it a bit longer than you might think at first. I usually don't like a pompon on this kind of hat, nor does my husband. If such a hat starts to feel stretched out and not snug after wearing it a few times, hold it by the gathered top and shake it sharply.
