I've decided to challenge myself. I'm going to try to do seven hats in seven days for charity. Today is day four and I've just begun my fourth hat this morning. I'm doing easy hats. When do I not do something easy? I'm doing
London Beanies and Dublin Beanies. They're similar with the Dublin beanie just being a bit bigger for larger sized heads. Hello honey! Yes, I started doing them for my husband who has a nice, round larger sized head. It's ten rounds of ribbing with six inches of stockinette then decreases. Sometimes I make seven inches of the stockinette for extra large heads. Hello again honey! Here's a photo of him wearing one of the Dublin Beanies I made for him:
Isn't that nice? And easy. Glenn loves these caps and I hope others will too. I did stripes in one but for some reason I always, and I mean ALWAYS, jack up the stripes. I've read about jogless stripes. I've watched videos about jogless stripes. I guess I'm just going to have to get used to being a jogfull stripe knitter.
Ok I'm off to knit and get this done. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it.

You go, girl! That's a great goal.
Boy, you are good!
I'm the same with the stripes. I've been trying to make a hat with a second color and have unraveled it at least 10 times because of the stripes.
Simple is best.
Keep on, keepin' on!
Looks great!
So, does this mean that Dubliners have bigger noggins than Londoners?
;)
Great hat!
Remind me to bring you the article on the jogless stripes. There are different ways to do it depending upon how wide the stripes are. However, I must admit that I've never tried any of those methods. Hmmm.... the first hat I made had stripes. Oh, yeah, they were hidden in the first row of knitting. The hat I gave away and now wish I had to wear. (but only bec the recipient has become unworthy. lol. or is it col?)
