Hat/Scarf Thingy


 
Materials:
You need 1 ball of Jaegar "Lulu" or other, fake fur, expensive stuff
1 x 16" number 8 (US) circular needle

Pattern:
Cast on about 85 stitches and join.

Knit a tube for about 5' or so.

Next round and subsequent rounds, turn, decrease 1 stitch, knit to end.

Continue in this fashion, shaping a "V". If you like you can round off the edges of your "V" by casting off 2 stitches on some rows.

When you have nearly run out of yarn, cast off.

You will have noticed a certain sloppiness in these instructions. This is partly because everyone's preferences and tensions differ and partly cos these fake fur yarns are very forgiving and shaping is not a crucial issue.

You should however end up with a somewhat shaped, knitted tube big enough to go over your head.

You wear it thus: As a neck warmer slide it on with the "V" end uppermost forming a collar over your coat.

As a hat put the flat area on the top of your head, pull the tube section over that and around your skull in jaunty fashion, secure with a brooch if you're afraid it might slip.
