Fake Isle Hat

I don’t know how to knit continental and, after watching the video, I’m more scared than ever!

Soooooo, how do you manage the strands of yarn? UGH!

My 4 yr. old gd wanted the hat when she saw me working on it. When it was done it was too big for her so I felted it a little and gave it a “new” shape. Here it is…

Where did everyone go? :??Did my finished hat scare everyone away?:shrug:

haha No way! I didn’t see there had been a new post here. I absolutely love your finished hat! Such bright, bold colors, and I LOVE the new shape! It’s so original. Very creative - I’m so impressed!!! :smiley:

You definitely shouldn’t be scared after watching the video! I WOULD suggest that you look at Amy’s video of how to do the Knit stitch in Continental (don’t even worry about purls for the purposes of this project) and make a little practice piece, maybe the size of a dishcloth. And just do Continental purls into you’re proficient. It’s not so scary as it seems! Once you can knit Continental and English, it’s no problem to put them together. :smiley:

Well, my yarn came in and I think this may be the next project I start. I’ve got to finish my black cat blanket buddy first, though…

Loved the shape of that hat! I can just picture a little girl wearing it with that cute brim.
