YO SPIRAL HAT


YO SPIRAL HAT (LARGE)
I used Softball Polished Cotton with a # 8 circular needle.
Cast on 88 stitches. Join to work in round, being careful not to twist. Put a marker to indicate the beginning of a round.
Knit 3rounds plain.
Next round, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * to end.
Next round, Knit
Next round, K5, K2tog, yo, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * until 1 stitch remains, K1
Next round, Knit
Next round, K4, K2tog, yo, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * until 2 stitches remain, K2

Continue this way, shifting the pattern row over one stitch each time, till about 5” from cast on, with the edge slightly rolled.

Begin decreases:
Rnd 1: *K5, K3tog, yo, to end Basically, you are maintaining the same pattern as above, but replacing the K2togs with K3togs. If you need to adjust at any point, do so.
Rnd 2: Knit
Rnd 3: *K4, K3tog, yo to end
Rnd 4: Knit

SUMMER'S OVER

This summer sure went fast, didn't it. I know we've all been knitting all summer, but now that it's fall we have to get real busy. The holiday's will be here in the blink of an eye. Personally I like knitting small, quick projects to give as gifts. That's hats, fingerless mitts, little purses, scarves, pot holders and wash cloths. I have videos for all of them on my youtube channel in case you need a little reminder, or inspiration. Well, time for me to get back to my knitting.
