Classic Slouchy TuqueUS 6 & 8
About 80 g of Patons Classic Wool
I love slouchy tuques (that's right, I'm Canadian), unfortunately I have never found one to buy at a store that was just plain with a long brim that could be worn rolled up or not!
There was a big sale on Paton's Classic wool at Michaels so I picked up a couple of skeins and got to work deciding on what to use it for.
Tada!
Pattern:
CO 100 with US 6 needles, join in round
K2, P2 for 3 inches
Increase 2
Change to US 8 needles

ReplyDeleteHi Im new at knitting so i wanted to ask you what you meant by increase 2
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what you mean either by increase 2. Could you be more specific? I'd really like to knit this.
ReplyDeleteThank you

Do you mean increase 2 by changing the needle size that would be the increase ?
ReplyDeleteFrom other hats I have knitted, it is usually worded as increase evenly. So in this case on the last round of the ribbing before changing to the larger needle increase two stitches ending with 102 stitches. Space them evenly over the round so they are not obvious. I will knit 50, increase 1 twice. There are different ways to increase. Some make one by knitting under a bar or increase by knitting in the back of the same stitch. There are lots of videos on youtube to explain increasing techniques. :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry everyone! I was on a bit of a hiatus wrestling with school. I wrote the increase 2 so the pattern would match up. You can always skip this step and decrease 2 instead of 4 when you get to the knit rows.

It helped me a lot when I was just learning.
