Hi! I am trying to knit a hat for my boyfriend and I have run into trouble with figuring out how to continue the hat pattern I am using.
I have completed this Shaker Rib portion of the pattern:
Shaker Rib Stitch
Row 1 (Wrong Side): Knit.
Row 2: K1, *K1-B, P1. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K1-B, K1.
Repeat rows 1-2.
Then I am supposed to move on to shaping the crown of the hat.
I can complete row 1 of this section, but when I get to row 2 I do not know how to K1-B on the stitches where I had decreased (the Sl 1 K2tog PSSO). I have tried many different ways to complete this stitch, but everything I try seems to result in the hat unraveling from this point. Please help!
Here are the instructions for shaping the crown:
SHAPE CROWN
Row 1 (Wrong Side): K1 *Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO, K4. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K2 - 53 sts.
Row 2: K1, *K1-B, P1. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K1-B, K1.
Row 3: Knit.
Row 4: K1, *K1-B, P1. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K1-B, K1.
Row 5: Knit.
Row 6: K1, *K1-B, P1. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K1-B, K1.
Row 7: K1 *Sl 1, K2tog, PSSO, K2. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, K2 - 33 sts.
Row 8: K1, P1, *K1-B, p1. Repeat from * to last st, K1.
Row 9: Knit.
Rows 10-15: Repeat Rows 8 and 9 three times more.
Row 16 (Right Side): K2tog across row to last st, K1 - 17 sts.
If it is helpful, I am using the pattern called “His Favorite Ribbed Knit Hat Pattern” from AllFreeKnitting.
