Question about Plymouth Yukon Print Yarn
The gauge is listed as 2 sts per inch on US 15 needles....so is it Chunky
or Bulky? Also I have been looking for a hat pattern to use with it....just a simple rib 2x2 with SS for the top part and so far all I can find are for baby yarns or worsted weight yarn. I want to knit the hats in the round. I have 10 skeins in 2 different prints and want to make the hats for Christmas gifts. TIA for any suggestionsG Donna |

Question about Plymouth Yukon Print Yarn
Super-bulky.
So knit hats in the round. You know how big you want the hat to be - do some simple math and cast on for a hat.

Question about Plymouth Yukon Print Yarn
Ok I want to do a test hat for me.....my head is 22 inches so I multiply 2
sts per inch and get 44 sts so that is my cast on number? If my knitting gauge is the same. Donna WoolyGooly wrote: Super-bulky. So knit hats in the round.

Although...most people make caps 10-15% smaller to account for the

I did this (made it too big) but fortunately it felted right down. Alison |

Alison Good point....my test swatch came out half a stitch too much so instead of 2 per inch I have 2 and half sts on the suggested size 13 needles....not sure what to do about that. Donna |
