stix and a ball of string....

I tried a new hat pattern for the knit hats that I do for Ship Support and I really like it. I have been using circular needles for my hats and this pattern uses straight needles. It is a pattern from the Ship Support group written by Ellen and I love it. It is a simple pattern using knits and purls to make a ribbed effect but the hat comes out so nice. I used No. 8 needles and woolease yarn and the hats turned out great. They look small but they stretch like you would not believe! It was a nice change from the circular pattern. You get tired of doing the same thing over and over so a change is nice:)
Happy Knitting :)
