– [Kristen] What
looks like a nice stockinette hat with 1×1 ribbing is actually a double knit
hat, reversible on both sides. That means it’s double
thick for cold climates. And it’s made especially on this double knit round
knitting loom that rotates. This is from Knitting Board. And we’ll be making
this pattern today here on GoodKnit Kisses, brought to you by
Knitting Board. Welcome to GoodKnit Kisses. We’re all about helping you stich your love and
love your stitches. To make our double knit hat, we are working with
stockinette stitches that are double knit and, also, the chunky, open rib. Now, this imitates
a 1×1 ribbing. On the reverse side, it
doesn’t actually look like 1×1. It almost looks like
a 2×1, but it’s not. And, so, in order
to get this look, what we’re doing is we’re using a part of a color from a
long color-changing yarn, such as one like this,
rolled up into a cake. And then, we work the rest
of it in either stripes, or you can use a complete
solid color up here. So, in this particular one, we’re gonna be using
this bright color here. And then, you can
actually put together these other colors from here. Or, you could use
a solid color here and then pop in something
that has short color changes, like a nice striping yarn,
self-striping, or a solid. To make your double knit hat, you’re going to need a KB
‘Rotating’ Double Knit Loom. And this is one of a kind. It’s the only one that does it. There’s also a Topper. If you wanna have more than
52 stitches (makes 60), you can get the loom
topper, as well. I’ll link to everything down
in the description below. You’re also going
to need a loom pick. You’ll need a crochet hook
for finishing out the brim, a tapestry needle for
weaving in the ends, the measuring tool,
measuring tape, for making sure you
have the right length; some scissors, a couple
of stitch markers, and then I like to use a
counter, a row counter, and that’s especially
important for this brim and, then, if you do
want to work the stripes. Let’s talk about
yarn and the options for making this hat differently. This pattern’s actually called
the Cranberry Brim Beanie, and working it
with the Bernat Pop Lipstick on My Collar color. I’ve also worked it
in a different color from the Bernat
Pop line over here, so you can see how
very different it is, depending upon the color
choice that you make. If you want to try working
a solid color on the bottom and some kind of other
striping yarn here that’s got shorter stripes, make sure that you’re using
something of the same weight. This is also a
medium four weight, but you wanna have something
from that same yarn line so it feels the same and
the bulk is the same, because these two together wouldn’t actually pair
very well together. So, you wanna make sure and test those out beforehand. But it is just a
four weight yarn. Be sure and click down below
on the link to get your pattern and, also, to get
all your supplies. See you in a moment. All right, we’re gonna
start dividing up our yarn. This is using the long
color-changing yarn. And if you’re not
going to be doing this, obviously, you could
just start working with whatever your
first color is. I’m gonna come over
here and just cut it. And you can go
ahead and divide up the other colors, as well. So, I’m gonna go
ahead and pull out the dark and the light gray. Just pull ’em right out and
set aside this other one; we’re not using that at all. And then, the dark gray and the light gray
are being separated. Just cut that. Now, there are some color
changes that happen, and it bleeds into, and
it’s a little bit dark. See, this one looks
mainly dark right here, and then this is a little
bit dark color pop here. If that bothers you,
you could cut it out. But I will say that
there is some transfer of other colors throughout here, so you might see little pops
of red or other darker colors, and that’s just the nature
of this particular yarn. So, it’s imperfect, and
that’s the beauty of it, so it may have these little
pops of color in other places. So, I’ve got my
colors separated. I am gonna set these two aside and work with my
brim color first. All right, so I’ve pulled
out the center of this yarn, and there’s a
bright pink inside, so I’m gonna go
ahead and cut that. And yours might be the same. It’s not much to get rid of. Now, you can actually use
this for the anchor yarn. And you can see I’ve got
a contrasting color here, so we are going to need
a length of anchor yarn. You’re just going to measure
around the outside here, and go ahead and cut it off. And then, you can tie it
together in a little knot, still keeping it a
large enough circle that it will go in-between
these two looms here. And set it aside. We’re gonna put on
the first round here. All right, with the
cranberry color, we’re going to place
it right on our loom. And I want to put
a marker on here, ’cause it’s very hard to see. There is an arrow
on one of the legs. You’ll see a little arrow
on the front and the back. This is the outer loom,
this is the inner loom. I’m just gonna take
the stitch marker and place it so I
can really see it. And then, I also want to
place another stitch marker back behind it so I know
that this is the one peg and this is the one peg. Now, I’m gonna go ahead
and mark something for our brim that
we’re gonna be working. It’s called a chunky
open rib stitch. And so, I’m gonna mark it on
the third peg in the back, one, two, three. We’re going to do a (single)
stockinette cast on. And we’re gonna work two
rounds of stockinette, wrapping it, and then we will
start on the chunky open rib. So, for now, we’re going
to make a slip knot, however’s easier for you. Go ahead and work that. Place the tail on the
inside, on the first peg. Tighten it up a little
bit, not too tight. All right, I’m gonna
hold onto that tail. It gives me a bit of an anchor. And we’re going to wrap
around this peg here. This is the number one peg. So, go around the
number one peg. So, we’ve got the slip knot
on the one in the front and the slip knot
on the inner loom. And we’re gonna go
around on the outer loom, on the second peg, and pick up the second
peg on the inner loom. Go to the front and
go to the third peg, go to the back and
go to the third peg. We’re not twisting
any of our stitches, just going around in
a serpentine motion. So, just go around. And one motion. You can work to the right
or you can work to the left, it doesn’t matter. This is the same pattern
all the way around. All right, pause your video. I’ll meet you back up
at the very beginning. All right, so, I’ve
gone all the way around and I’ve pushed down
all of my stitches here. And now I want to set
my working yarn down, pull up my anchor yarn we
created with this loop, and we want to place it
in-between these two looms here, just right on the inside. And just lay that down. And then, I wanna go in-between
where my working yarn is and my first stitch is, and I’m gonna push
this down in-between. We could just grab our
crochet hook and pull that in. Just put my crochet hook
right up in-between. Pull down. Okay, make sure this is all
on the inside of the loom. Okay, so our anchor yarn is going to stay inside here, and it’s going to help us create
this nice little edge here, this crocheted edge, for
a really pretty finish. ‘Cause, otherwise, your
loops are gonna be loose on the outside of this ribbing. All right, now that
we’ve done that, we just have one
more time around with the stockinette stitch. You’re gonna come from this
last peg, which is number 52. Or, if you’re using the topper,
whatever that number is, I don’t remember. And then, you’re gonna go around the outside of the loom here, on peg one, and go up to
peg one on the inside loom, or the inner, and
come around and down to number two and do it again. Same thing, just
continue wrapping. Pause your video. When we get back, I’ll
give you the next step. See you in a minute. All right, I went
on my last peg, just up and around and down. And then we want to lock this in by taking our loom
tool, and, let me see, I’ll turn it around so
you can see the inside. We’re just lifting up and over and knitting that like that. So, we’re going to knit over all of these loops here. So, we’re knitting the bottom
loop over the top loop. All of them. Lifting up and over. And then, you’re going
to take every second peg on the outer loom only. Every second peg,
you will lift up and move over one. Okay, so I’m moving
the second peg to the number one peg, and then I’m going and
moving the fourth peg to the third peg, and
then I leave them alone. This is only after
I have knitted over. So, we’re knitting over all
stitches on the outside loom and the inside loom first. And then, we move
the stitches over, but we do not work them. So, you will end
up with one stitch on all pegs on the inner loom, and two stitches every
other peg on the outer loom, but leave them alone. All right, pause your video. Meet me back up after
you finish that step. All right, we’re ready to start the actual chunky
open rib stitch. I’m coming from the last
loop on the inner peg. I’m going around peg
one on the outer loom, then I’m gonna go right up to number three
on the inner loom. So, straight back from peg one
is peg one in the inner loom, and then count over two, three. And that is one
that I had you mark with a stitch marker
earlier, if you do that. So, you can come here and then pick up on that three, and then come down to the peg that has the next
two loops on it. So, we’re picking up, making three loops on each peg in the front that has loops. We’re gonna come around three. And then, now, we’re
just gonna be picking up every other peg
on the inner loom and every other peg
on the outer loom. So, come around. This one here, come down
to where we’ve got loops. Go up, make sure
you’re skipping. Go back and forth, skipping, and go all the way around. And we’re gonna be picking up all the loops we missed
on the inner loom. And then, the outer loom will actually end up
getting four loops. So, pause your video and
I’ll see you at that point. All right, so, at
the beginning again, I’m at the last peg on the outer loom
here, with three loops. We’re gonna go up,
and be sure and skip the very last peg
on the inner loom. If you don’t skip this one, then it’ll mess up
your next round, and you’ll wonder why
you have an extra peg. So, go ahead and skip
that very last peg. We’re gonna go to peg
one on the inner loom and then come down to
peg one on the outer loom and wrap on that. And now, we’re gonna pick up
peg two on the inner loom. And then, come back down to
peg two on the outer loom. And it’ll look like this. You’re gonna have four
stitches on the outside pegs, and then every other
one is completely empty. And then, on the inside, every other one, you’re
picking up those. So, you’ll have two loops
on all the inside pegs. So, go ahead and pick
up all those stitches, pause your video, and
I’ll meet you back up to show you the next step. All right, so we can put
down our working yarn, and we’re ready to
start knitting over. Go ahead and go to the inside, and knit one over
one on that last peg. It looks like this. Just go ahead and work
that and lock it in. And now, you’re going to knit
over all of the outside loops. You’re just going to
knit over two over two. So, leave the top
two loops alone, and the bottom two
loops are knit over. So, be sure and only do
the bottom two loops, coming up and over
the top two loops. And then, on the inside, of course, you’re just
knitting one over one, so all of these are just going
to get knit one over one. All right, pause your video,
and I’ll meet you back up when you’re ready
for the next step. Well, you have just
completed one round of the chunky open rib. Now, you’re just gonna continue working that chunky
open rib again, until you have
reached 12 rounds. If you want to continue on with
this stitch for a whole hat, you could totally do that. But for the purposes of this, we’re gonna do 12 rounds
in the chunky open rib, and then we’ll move
on to working a (dbl)
stockinette stitch So, after this,
I’m gonna show you how to make sure that it’s ready to go to the next stitch,
as well as changing color. So, stay tuned for that, and I’ll meet you in a moment. Let’s go ahead and
pick this back up. I’ll just get you started. You’re just going
to go around peg one and then skip over to
peg three at the top, come down to peg three here, and skipping every other
one in the inner loom, just as we did before. Remember, when you
finish this round, skip that very last peg and move on to going
to pegs one and two and then go on, sorry,
to pegs one and one and then go on to
peg two of the top, picking up every other stitch and then that last one. Working them two over
two in the front, just as we did before, and one on one in the back. All right, pause your video. I’ll see you after 12 rounds. So, we’re ready to go from
the chunky open rib stitch to a double stockinette,
and so we need to take these that have been
worked together, and they’re going to go out. So, we’ll just go
right up to this, and we still have the
double loops on here, so we’re just gonna
take the very top loop, pick it up, and
move it back over to the other side, where
it originally came from. So, just taking the loop, moving it to the next
space, and placing it. And this just prepares it to get ready for that
stockinette stitch. All right, so go ahead and
move over all your stitches. When we come back, we will work the double stockinette stitch. Okay, everything’s ready. And after I went ahead
and moved these over, this tail here was
a little bit loose, so I just tugged on it
and it pulled through this stitch and this stitch
a little bit tighter, and I just went ahead and
tied it with this end here, this little tail
in the new color. We’re going to do the double
stockinette stitch here. Now, the one that I showed
you before on the brim here is a stretchier one, which helps with having a rib
stitch on the end. So, it’s almost like a
flat knit stockinette. So, we’re going to work
the double knit one, so we will be skipping
every other peg, making two passes all
the way around the loom, weaving around the loom. So, we’ll go around
the number one peg, go to the back, and
go to the second peg. So, straight across
and over one. And then, come down, and you’re
gonna go to the third peg on the outer loom. So, the outer loom is
all the odd stitches, and the inner loom
is the even stitches. So, you’re just gonna go through and push these down first,
if you need to, which I do. And pick up every other one and go around the entire loom. And at the end, we
need to do something a little bit different. And you wanna make sure and do it like this every time. So, pause your video and meet me back up at the end. And I’ll show you how to
move to the second pass. All right, so now
I’ve come to the end. I’ve done the very last
stitch in this round. And I wanna come straight down and around the outside
of the last peg. So, we’re doing both
last pegs together at the same time. And then come up and we’re gonna
do the next pass, where we pick up
every other stitch. So, we’re going to the number
one peg and coming down. So, you should have these three, these last two,
plus the first peg. They’re all three next to each
other, without skipping any. And then, in the back, kind of moved over a little bit, you see the last stitch and then the first
two stitches are pegs with loops on them, and
then every other one. Okay, so, now we’re
just gonna come down, and on the even stitches on
the front, or outer loom, we’ll wrap those, and
the inner loom is, well, every other one,
which is the odd stitches. So, go ahead and
pick up all of those. And when you’re done wrapping, well, pause your
video and come back. And when you’re done wrapping, we’ll finish this up together and I’ll give you
more instructions. All right, so, we’re at the end. And the very last
stitch that I wrap is the second to last stitch. So, when you start
this round again to do another stockinette, you’ll be jumping
all the way over to the number one peg, and then up to
the number two peg in the same way again. So, that’s how you
work the stockinette. So, now you’re just
going to lift up and over the bottom pegs over the top on the outer loom
and the inner loom. Oops, there we go. So, make sure and knit
over this very last stitch. Turn it around so
we can see that. Just knit that over
so it locks it in. And I would be in a habit of working all the
outside of the loom first, knitting those over and then
doing the inside of the loom. So, I’ll just stick
my finger here on top, and then knit over, and then, that way, it won’t
pop over that other one if my yarn’s a little slippery
or if it’s a little tight. And then, when you’re ready,
you can work on the back, and then push them down. And, so, let’s move
on to the directions for what to do for
the rest of this hat. Now, you can continue,
as I said, continue on. You can change the colors
up the way the pattern has or go straight color
with all one same color. So, you will need to make sure and refer to the pattern, so open the
description down below, that’s down below in the video, and make it bigger and
read where that link is to go to the KB Looms website. And I’m gonna show it
off here to the side. So, this is telling us
that the next five rounds, which we’ve already started
the first of the round, you’re going to work five
of this dark gray yarn, and then you’re gonna work
eight of the light gray, then six again
with the dark gray, and then eight again
with the light, and then come back and finish
with six or seven rounds dark. And then you’re going
to finish that off of the stockinette. So, now that you’ve established
one row of your new color, just take the tail
of that new color and lay it in, as we’ve done
before with the other one. And just continue
working your rounds. You now know how to
change the colors, and you just need to work the
stripes how you want them, or the solid. All right, we’ll see
you in a little bit. Okay, so, your
knitting should measure approximately 9 1/2 inches
from the cast on edge. I know that it is tight and it’s harder to
measure on this one, so what you do is you
tug on your knitting to pull it all the way down and make sure that tension
is eased a little bit. And flip up your brim. Now, don’t worry about measuring where these little posts are. You wanna kind of measure
from here to here. But you really only
need to measure the part that’s flipped up, because, from the bottom of this to the top of this
part right here, is approximately six inches. And, so, you just
need to add six inches to whatever you measure
that touches here to here. So, that should
measure about 9 1/2 if you followed the pattern
with this particular yarn. If you have another
yarn, of course, the rounds may not be the same. But it’s about 33 to 34 rounds. Okay, so, I’m going to
show you how to cast off. You’re going to measure
around your loom and cut about 12 inches. And we’re gonna be using
that with the darning needle or tapestry needle. And we’re gonna be going
through these loops. But, first, what you do is you take the inner
loops, like this, and move them to the outer pegs. So, lift them up and move
them over to the front. So, all loops on the
back go to the front, from the inside to the outside, and then you’re going
to knit over, like that, just put it over. And then, you will just work
with your darning needle to go through all of the loops
on the outside of the loom, and cinch it up and do
a drawstring bind off. And that’s really it,
and you just sew it in. If you have enough yarn, you can go through those twice so that, when you pull it, it’s gonna be nice and strong. Now, it does have a bulkier top. I’m going to show you a
bit of a different way. This is not one that the
Knitting Board is showing, but I think it gives
you a nice amount, because this is 52 pegs, we’re gonna take it down
to half that amount. We’re gonna have it at
26 pegs, or 26 stitches, and it will help
have a smaller hole that you have to deal with, and it won’t be as bulky
and hard to sew through, to make sure that’s secure. So, what we’re gonna
do, in this case, is we’ve got plenty
of yarn left, and we need to have enough left for about two (or three)
rounds going around. And you need to, if
you want to do this, and you don’t have
quite enough yarn, you can go backward two rounds and just kind of
undo those stitches, and then have enough, because it’s going to cause
a little bit of lengthening in our hat, and
that’s perfectly fine. All right, so,
what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna take
the second loops and move ’em onto
the first loops. So, that’s on the outer
and on the inner loom. So, just take those
off and move them over. Now I’m going over here and
I’m gonna take the second, or it’s actually
the fourth peg loop, and I’m moving it to the third. So, every other one is moving on top of the one next to it. Okay, so go ahead and do that, pause your video and come back, and I’ll show you
how to wrap it. Okay, so now you’ve
got doubled up pegs on every other one,
front and back. So, this is called a
decrease in double knitting. And you’re just, where
you moved the pairs over on top of the other pair. And, so, now, when
we wrap our row, we’ll be working
two pegs over one, and then that will effectively decrease those stitches. And then, we’ll
work another round. So, we do a decrease round, and then we just work
that same around again, without moving stitches. Just establishing
that same pattern. So, this is the
pattern you’re gonna work twice in a row here. So, we’re going to go down. You should have your yarn coming from the second to the
last peg in the inner loom. We’re gonna go to the outer
loom here on that first peg, and then we’re going to, we’re skipping the one behind, and we’re going
to the third peg. So, we go to the third peg. We’re gonna skip the
one in the front. Now, I want you to
just completely ignore anything that doesn’t
have anything on it. So, we’ve got something
on the first peg, and then the next
one is being skipped. And then we wanna
go down to this one, which is actually
one, two, three, four, five, the fifth peg. Notice how there’s three pegs in-between the one we wrapped and the one we just wrapped, so the one previous and then
the one we just did here. Then we’re gonna go up. Let’s just visually
just skip three, so, one, two, three, and then we’re gonna
come back here. And see, when we come
up to the front again, we’re gonna skip
three, one, two, three. See how that works? So, we’re just skipping three, and that’s the
easier way to do it rather than counting or
figuring out the numbers as far as like which
peg number it is. So, we’re just
skipping three pegs in-between the ones we wrapped. So, going back and
forth, alternating, it’s just gonna
have a nice zigzag. And do that all the
way around the loom. In my head, I sit there and
say three, three, three, and three, just so I
keep on the same rhythm. So, go ahead and do
that, pause your video, and come back when you’re ready. Okay, so, I’m at the front now, or I’m at the
beginning of my round, and I need to go a
second pass-around. This is where you have
to be very strategic about where you put it. So, I want you to
think in your head last, last, first. So, I’m going to the
last peg in the back. That’s where it
naturally pops to. And then I’m gonna go to
the last peg in the front. So, or, last, last, and then we’re
gonna go to first, which is the first peg
on the inner loom here. And you can see how the
first peg on the outer loom is already wrapped. So, now we’re just
gonna go through, picking up the stitches,
going every other one. So, you’re not really counting
now, unless you want to. But you can see
where you’re matching the zigzag of the next stitch. So, just back and
forth, wrap those. Pause your video,
if you need to. And then we’ll knit these over. So, I’ve come to the end here, and my last one is actually the fourth one from the
end, on the inner loom. And then, I’m just gonna
hold this down and knit over. We’re knitting two over one. You can do one stitch at
a time, if that’s easier, especially because it might
be a little bit tight. Let’s just do that. All right, now that’s
locked in and secure, and you can go ahead and work
over all of your stitches. Two over one. And then, I’m gonna go ahead and do the outside one first, and that is, oops, I know
I didn’t get this one here. That’s the one I wanted. And then, I want to, I work, again, the
outside of the loom first, just for consistency, and then do the inside pegs, because it’s, the
tension is much better when you are consistent
about doing outside first versus inside or vice versa. So, it’ll be consistent on the
outside of your actual hat. Okay, and so after
you’re done with that, I want you to do one more
round of that same wrapping and then meet me back up and we will actually
cast this off together. All right, so I
actually ended up having enough yarn
to do one more round, so I did a decrease round
and then two more rounds, just establishing that
pattern, which is good, because I was actually short
a little bit on the gray. And instead of the
six or seven rounds at the end, I did five. So, whatever works for you. But because these, we
had to cut them out, I’m limited on getting
all of that color in here. And, of course, I
could’ve changed colors and made it longer, but
that’s totally fine. So, now, we’re ready
to actually cast off, so just as I explained
earlier in the video, we’re just gonna pick
up this back stitch off the inner loop,
or inner loom, and put that loop
on the outer loom. So, just simply
picking all of them up. Don’t need that anymore. And placing them on the front. And then, you can
knit them over. And then, we’re just gonna
go through, one by one, go through these stitches. So, I would go ahead
and move all the loops from the inside to the
outside and knit them over. And then, the next
step is to put them on your tapestry needle
or darning needle, and then you take them
directly off of the loom. Especially if you’ve only
got 12 inches of tail, because it’s very short, you definitely wanna take
them off as you’re doing it. This particular one, the first
one, you could leave on here. I always like to go back through the first one one more time. It just, I really like that. And if you can go
through them twice, if you have enough yarn and you can go through
all of the loops twice, then it gets really secure. So, I’m gonna go around and I’ll show you
cinching it together and what it looks like
going through there twice. See you in a minute. I’m just going through two
times around these loops because I have enough yarn. You can see I’ve already
pulled off the loom, all of these loops, and you can see how it’s kind of elongating, pulling
these stitches. So, it’s easy just
to grab my pick and lift that stitch up
and then pull through. So, I just pull that
up and pull on through. And I’ll show you
what it looks like when I take it off the loom. All right, so I’m gonna
pull this off of the loom. I’ve gone through twice. And just start cinching this in. And remember, it’s
trying to go around all these stitches twice, so there’s a lot of
loose yarn in here. Just be gentle with it. All right, so that actually, I know this seems bulky, but it’s actually
significantly reduced. Oh, we got my little
tail sticking out. It’s significantly reduced
from where it would be, and it’s much easier
to cinch these in here so you can just put your
needle back through here now. And then weave in your tail. So, now see we’ve already gone, we’ve already gone through
the whole thing twice, so, really, the tail’s
in there really well. It’s just a matter of going
through a few stitches and leaving a loop and going
through that loop again before you pull it through. And then do it again. I like to do it again
a few more times. And I’ve gotten caught. There we go. And do it one more time, just to make sure
it’s nice and secure. And because this is
for cold climates, it’s extra double thick and you can go in-between
some of these layers and split the yarn there for that last part of the tail,
where you’re gonna cut it. And then, this little
tail shouldn’t pop out. So, that is the bind
off or cast off. You can also see
a little color pop from the way this yarn behaves. This is one of my tails from when I did color changing, so I’m gonna go
ahead and cut that, and, then, when I pull it, it should just
pop right back in. So, that’s what that looks like. And then, let’s go ahead and
finish off this edge here. This is the part where
we need our crochet hook. All right, let’s bind
off stitches at the brim and remove this anchor yarn. So, I’ve got my beginning
tail and this loop, and you can see the anchor yarn, this tan colored yarn, or beige. You want to ignore that one and just go straight
over to the next stitch. It doesn’t matter which
direction you’re going. Just go to the next one that’s going around
this anchor yarn. So, don’t skip any. Just kind of pull on the anchor
yarn, and you can see it. So, I pulled this one
and found this one, and then we’re gonna
go to the next one. Make sure that you’re
not going through the anchor yarn at
all, not catching it, because you’ll
have trouble later. So, once you have
two on your hook, you’re just gonna pull
one through the other, leaving one loop on your hook, and then go to the next one. So, if they’re
pulled a little bit, you can take this anchor yarn and kind of pull up and find it. Just make sure and approach
it from the same side. We go to the next one. And as soon as you
make several of them, you can kind of
look at your work, and it looks like a
little chain stitch. So, you just get these little
V-shaped chain stitches. And then, we’re
going to be working into this first one. I’ll show you again later on, but we’re gonna go through those to finish off this
ending or this tail. So, continue going
all the way around. And meet me back up when
you’re ready to complete it. See you in a moment. Okay, so, coming to the end, I’ve got my last two loops. The very, very
last one is the one that has the tail
coming from it. Just go ahead and
loop that on through. And now we’re going
to slip the rest of it and get this tail through, but we need to take off
the anchor yarn first. So, go ahead and cut that. Pull it on through. And until this is taken off, it’s not stretchy on the edge because that anchor
yarn is pretty stiff. You can see it’s now
nice and stretchy. So, if you go to the
very beginning here, this is the part that I
was talking about before, go to that very first chain. You’re gonna go through
both edges of the chain, one, two, or both loops, and then yarn over
with your tail. This is the tail in my hand, and pull through that loop and then also pull through
your very last loop, and it is now connected, and we’re just going to just
pull it all the way through. So, the tail is through, and now we’re just gonna
turn it on the inside for a little bit. And we’re going to
sew this last part in. Go ahead and get
your tapestry needle. You’re just gonna, I’m gonna go in the, so my yarn had come
from this direction, so I’m gonna go in
the opposite direction to kind of cinch that in and through these two
loops on the inside, this little stitch
that’s going right here. And then, I’m gonna come
back over this direction, just to further get it in. So, there is a V-shaped stitch. If you can’t see it,
I’m going right up through the side of it
and through the middle. Okay, so, now I wanna
do a little trick where I go up the side
of the V-shaped stitches, these side stitches. So, I go through
the outside of it to the middle of the inside, and then I whip my needle around and do that again on
the next stitch up. And then continue going up, just in this little
spiral or swirly motion. And what this does is it
hides the tail in here, and the hat remains
nice and stretchy. And just go ahead and pull
that tail right on up. And then you can jog
over to the next one. Over to the other side and turn around and start doing the same thing, just flipping right
around those stitches and then pull through and
then just cut your tail. And you are done. By the way, a little bonus, I actually created a double
knit hat, that you saw, and a single knit hat. So, both the brims are
made exactly the same, but I worked the stockinette that’s made for single
knitting on this one, using a double knitting loom, and so you’re going
around every single peg as you go in one pass. And then, when you work
the double knit over here, you’re skipping every other one, and then making a second pass
around, and working that. So, that’s the only difference. But what it does is it makes a much bigger, stretchier
hat in a single knit, and it’s not as
warm as this one. This one’s for
very cold climates. And it’s going to be kind of
pushed in a little bit more, a little bit more
snug and tight. So, if you want
something that has a little bit more
airiness or volume, is not quite as thick
but the same look, you can totally do
that with this stitch. If you need a bigger,
double knit version of this, remember, there is the topper. So, that’s a nice little
bonus minute for you. I hope you enjoyed
making your double knit stockinette hat today. Be sure and say thank you
