I love wrapping. I like to try and make big elaborate bows. And I am clumsy at it sometimes. I also like each package to look unique and I often run out of ideas before I am done. But this year I am inspired! I had some great help on sunday at the make:Tulsa Christmas party getting started. I wrapped and Erin of Sunshine and Carousels made toppers and bows for me. And now I am home and ready to tackle some more myself. But wait! She is still helping me. See, this year she is writing a Ribbons and Bows series on her blog, so if you are looking for DIY wrapping that looks almost too amazing to want to open, go and check out part 1 here and part 2 here. The second post especially made me want to drop everything and go wrap some more presents. Eventually I will post some pics of the ones I had help with and the ones I do myself. Christmas is extra fun with pretty, pretty packages!
So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche
