I’ve made hat body, but am somewhat stuck on the ears. I have a few questions. When I cast on the is there something I should be doing to join the 2 colored sections together (not just on the cast on, but as the ear pieces progress). Should these 2 pieces be joined at one seam somehow or am I essentially knitting 2 separate parts at the same time?
When you work two colors like this, you have to twist where the two colors join, or you [I]will [/I]end up with two separate panels.
The easiest way to do this is to hold the yarn you’re stopping over to the left on top of the strand that’s hanging and you’re about to use.
This way the two colors automatically twist.
