These are patterns that were found on the internet. I edited them for my own use.
Materials:
Knitting Worsted Weight 4-Ply
2 skeins Red
2 skeins White
or
2 skeins Black
2 skeins White
Five size 6 double point needles and
One size 6 circular needle
Gauge:
10 stitches = 2 inches
14 rows = 2 inches
Special notes:
You may want to use a 16" circular.
Users of circular needles may wish to introduce markers at
"needle end" points to make following this notation easier.
M1 - increase by a non-eyelet producing method. I picked up
the "bridge between the last stitch and the next stitch, and knit
into the back of the resulting loop.
Instructions:
Hat body: Row 1: Using white, cast four stitches onto one
needle, and knit them I-Cord style.
Row 2: *K1, m1 on new dpn.* Repeat * three times - so you have
two stitches on each of your four needles (8 stitches total)
Row 3: *K2*. Repeat * on each needle.
Row 4: *K1, m1, k1, m1*. Repeat * on each needle (12 stitches).
Row 5: *K4*. Repeat * on each needle.
Row 6: *K1, m1, k2, m1, k1*. Repeat * on each needle (24 stitches)
Row 7: *K6*. Repeat * on each needle
Row 8: *K1, m1, k3, m1, k2*. Repeat * on each needle (36 stitches)
Row 9: *K8*. Repeat * on each needle
Row 10: *K1, m1, k4, m1, k3*. Repeat * on each needle (40 stitches)
Row 11: *K10*. Repeat * on each needle
Row 12: *K1, m1, k5, m1, k4*. Repeat * on each needle (48 stitches)
Row 13: *K12*. Repeat * on each needle
Row 14: *K1, m1, k6, m1, k5*. Repeat * on each needle (56 stitches)
Row 15: *K14*. Repeat * on each needle
Around this point I introduced the circular needles.
Continue in this manner until you have 104 stitches, ending with
a knit row. If you are using circulars you will have 26 stitches between markers.
*From this point on, continue to knit plain with no increases until
your piece measures approximately 8.5" from the beginning. Exact
length isn't important - I just kept knitting until I completely
used up the skein of white yarn.
Brim: Introduce the red yarn. *K2, p2* rib until you've knit
approximately 3.75" in red. Bind off loosely in rib.
Pompom: Reserving about a foot for sewing the pompon on, wind
the rest of the skein of red yarn around something of convenient
size. I used a the long dimension of case from a cassette audio
tape. Slip the loop of yarn off whatever it is you wound it around
and firmly tie it in the center with the reserved sewing length to
make a butterfly or figure-8. Make sure the center is tied REALLY
tightly. A couple of extra wraps won't hurt. Clip the loopy ends
and puff up your pompom. Sew it on to the top center of your
finished hat. Rejoice in the completion of a project that produces
exactly zero leftovers. Finding a crowd to hide in is optional.
Materials: 2 skeins (1 plus 6 feet) worsted weight yarn in white
or preferred color(mohair looks nice)
Long size 13 circular needles or size needed for gauge
Gauge: 2 stitches per inch in pattern (this time only -- close enough is good enough)
Directions: Pattern stitch (8 stitch repeat)
Row 1 -- k4, k4 with a double throw (wrap yarn around the needle twice)
Row 2 -- k across dropping second strand of the double throw
Row 3 -- k4 with double throw, k4
Row 4 -- knit
Directions for Hooded Scarf
Row 1 -- Cast on VERY LOOSELY 120 stitches
Row 2 -- k40, place marker, k40, place marker, k40
Row 3 -- begin pattern row 1 slipping markers as you come to them
Continue knitting in pattern until the scarf is the desired width,
probably 6 - 8 inches, ending after pattern row 2 or 4.
Bind off LOOSELY to first marker and remove it, knit in pattern
to next marker, knit from marker to end.
Bind off to marker and remove it. Continue knitting hood section
until its about 12 inches deep and end with row 2 or 4 of the pattern.
Either slip 20 stitches onto each of 2 same size straight needles for
grafting (grafting off the circulars is possible if they are long enough
and flexible enough but trickier), or bind off LOOSELY for seaming.
Graft or seam the top of the hood.
VERY nice for someone who needs a bit of warmth but doesn't want
the hairstyle crushed.
Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn will do, fuzzy is nice, soft for
next-to-skin comfort is essential. Also elasticized yarn in color
to blend in. Can knit in elastic thread if you can't find a stretchy yarn.
Finished Measurements: 41/2" wide, X 20 1/2" around, ( measured on the cable)
Needles: #9 straight or circular, or size to give wanted gauge for your yarn.
Exact gauge is not important to fit because you can knit to fit as you go.
Cast on 20 sts.
Work K2, P2, ribbing for 1". Slip last st. of every row, for a neat edge.
Increase Row: In ribbing pattern: work 3 sts, increase in 3rd st. by working
in front and back of same sts. (26 sts)
(YF: Yarn Forward)
Cable Pattern:
Row 1: K6, P2, K10, P2, K3, YF, Sl 3.
Row 2: K8, P10, K5, YF, Sl 3.
Every 8th row: K6, P2, CB10, P2, K3, YF, Sl3.
Continue Cable Pattern for 18 3/4",( measured over the center of the cable)
Decrease Row: K2, K2tog, K2, P2tog. (K2, K2tog) twice, K2, P2tog,
(K2, K2 tog) twice, K2. (20 sts)
Work K2, P2 ribbing same as in beginning for 1". Work in ends.
