Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 15:41:37 -0400 From: Kammerer To: Knitlist@kniton.com Subject: Knit: Chinchilla hats Dear Knitters, Someone on the list suggested making cancer hats from Chinchilla. Like all good girls I promptly printed it out......somewhere. Thanks whoever you are for suggesting this project, and I'm sorry I have neither your name or directions. And since I had already purchased the yarn, the mother of invention and I figured it out. This is a very fluffy rayon yarn that says dry clean only. So I did my obligatory swatch and decided to make a 20 inch hat. Chinchilla Hat Materials: one ball Chinchilla yarn- 50 g, 77 yds. #10 circular needle and double points Cast on 32 stitches. Knit in the round for 6 or 7 inches in garter stitch.(Knit one row, purl the next) Decreases: K6, k2tog, around knit one row K 5, k2tog, around, knit one row, etc. then knit 2 tog, k 1 sew last few stitches together through the stitches I had a little yarn left that I made into a tassle and attched to the center on a 3" thread. It sure is nice to make something so quickly and find a grateful recipient.
