Matching Hat and Scarf


Knifty Knitter Matching Hat and Scarf
Instructions
1. Scarf: Using the blue round loom, start with a yellow strand and a blue strand and continue to knit 10 rows. Then switch to both strands being yellow for another 10 rows, doing the same with two blue strands for another 10 rows. Because the yarn is corrugated your colors will vary in shade. Finish with 19 sections of color (19 sections of 10 rows a piece). This leaves you with a very thick tube scarf. For something a little less stiff use only one strand of yarn. Add fringe to the ends to give it a little more character or sew the ends together to close off the opening!

2.
 Double-sided hat: The key to making a double-sided hat is to make sure that you have the same amount of rows on both sides so that the designs do not overlap or show on the wrong side. Using the green loom, start by doing one strand of each color on one side. This consisted of 40 rows. Then begin the other side of the hat with two strands of yellow, which consisted of 10 rows. Switching to two strands of blue and knit 8 rows. Then switch to yellow, making 7 rows, and again blue with 8 rows. Finish with yellow making 7 rows. To close the hat off, used a blue strand of blue yarn to leave a fun little ring on the top of the hat. Note that this is a very big hat. It will be necessary to decide how many rows you will need to make a hat your size. Something else to keep in mind is that the color you finish with on your loom will become the top of your hat and NOT the rim. If you end up making the hat too large just roll it and have a brim! Enjoy!!!

Instructions
1. Note: you may want to use the Green Loom which is the size that more adults make their hats, but the sample shown is an ex-large.
2. Using one strand each of Ranch Red and Burgundy knit 20 rows and make a brim, by pulling the first row back up on the pegs and knitting them over.
3. Pattern for the rest of the project: Change to the Spring Green and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows, change to the Delft Blue and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows.
4. Change to the Ranch Red and Burgundy and knit 15 rows. Repeat these three colors until you have 5 sets of knitting.
5. Finishing: Crochet the loops from the loom and sew the top flat.
6. Cut 7" pieces of yarn and using 6 pieces make fringe. Do one bunch of blue then a bunch of green across the top of the hat.
7. This is a very warm hat and scarf for those cold winter days. This project takes a little longer than most, but it is worth the time spent.

Instructions
1. Using 12 pegs e wrap both strands around these pegs and turn and knit back and forth for 12 rows.
2. Take the beginning stitches and put them up and over the pegs as you would if you were making a brim on a hat, knit these stitches and continue knitting for another 12 rows.
3. Cut the yarn you are knitting with about 14" from the knitting. Using the yarn needle thread the end of the yarn back through the 12 loops on the pegs and pull tight for the toe.
4. Tie the yarn at the toe and then sew or weave up the top or front of the bootie.
5. Finish by chaining a piece of yarn about 12"long and thread through the fold on the top of the bootie. Make a pom-pom and tie on each end of the string. You could also use a piece of ribbon if you do not want to make the pom-poms.
