Friday is the day of change when new guests come to stay for a weekend or longer. We have new dinner partners and another bouncy family of children to learn to . . . love.
On my many lift trips (you spend 8 minutes on the chair lift for every 60 seconds of glory pious skiing down to the chair lift queue) I designed my next beanie which will have vertical stripes. I think you should be able to:
Start with a provisional number of stitches the depth of the hat
Work so that you make more rows at the brim edge than the crown, eg tip to edge, back to forehead, down to edge, back to 2 ins below the tip
Back to edge
Up to a stitch before the previous tip stitch.
To make a hat to match my silk/mohair/wool cowl, I should knit it in a slip stitch so that it is less stretchy and thicker.
I also decided to cut up Lucinda's arctic fox collar into strips to wrap my steering wheel.
And the fox pelt can be a coat's collar.
Such productive chair lift trips.
