And it showed more than I'd have thought. On the one you've finished, can you just sew around the inside rib a few times with elastic thread? Do patterns expect you to use the next needle down for ribbing? I know on ball bands if there are 2 needle sizes, the small one is for ribbing. But what do I know since I wasn't lying when I said every hat I make the first time is too big.shelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144306405940868642.post-59097558310343228302009-08-12T06:49:55.555-05:002009-08-12T06:49:55.555-05:00Hats are fun.

You've had a lot of fibery goodness! I'm working on some scarves for Daria's friend's mission trip. I do want to make a hat but your Indidan Summer scared me because no matter what I do, the first time I make a hat pattern it turns out too big, and then I have to figure out how to change needle size or take out stitches. <br />Also making a mitred square baby blanket, and one for me out of Noro Taiyo.shelleynoreply@blogger.com
