Beanie No. 3


Finished last night, this is my favourite so far, made with Noro Silk Garden colour 233. It was originally designated for Mom, but I have another skein of the same yarn, so this one will be donated to a silent auction to raise money for the Rainbow Chorus on Saturday night.

I started it on a loop (16", I think) and worked on that until I got to the decrease section, and then transferred to double-pointed needles. You could do a 21" hat all on dpns, but when I made the 24" for myself, there were too many stitches and they tended to slip off the ends. Of course you can probably find bigger needles than the ones I have.

To close up the top, just decrease down to seven stitches on three needles, then use a tapestry or darning needles to run the yarn through all seven loops, pass it to the inside of the hat, pull it tight and then darn in the end.
