Knit-a-Along

THE BEGINNING OF A WONDERFUL KNIT-ALONG

Posted by: knitant on: February 24, 2008

Hi niece-ys! Let’s start our knit-along project, the cute hat from a Japanese knitting book. I think this will be fun! I’ve already knitted this hat for one of my nieces but used a different stitch pattern.  I would love to knit another and ‘really’ be faithful to the stitch pattern this time. It is a lovely stitch pattern but I don’t understand the chart for the stitch pattern!

jj desu! here’s the pattern:

special hikiageme stitch: (hs):
stick the knitting needle into the stitch below the knitting (on the left hand needle). slide off the needle and drop the above stitch, knit the two together.

cast on 34 stitches
row1: k33, slip last stitch
row2: k1, *hs1, p1, repeat these two stitches until last stitch, slip last stitch

repeat row 2 until piece measures 68cm (about 244 rows).
it’ll look like a sort of rib when you’re done, i’ll try to post a picture. let me know if it doesn’t make sense! domo, yoroshiku onegaishimasu~

oh yeah! i like the picture you used as the banner! looks very cool =)

Domo! Douitashimashite! All the Japanese I know besides several other useful tourist phrases. ^_^

Yes, yes, it makes sense. I understand, understand. I can’t wait to knit the hat. I will also post pics of my hat so all can see, as soon as I figure how to upload them as thumbnails….
