When should I start cutting fabric hat an adult?
I'm knitting an adult sized hat and I'm sort of a flutter without a pattern, so I'm not sure when to start reduction. Do not want it to end like a beanie, or at the other end, a sock. I'm using U.S. 7 16 "circular needles and a worsted weight yarn. It is loosely based on the umbilical cord hat in Stitch n 'Bitch, is a jersey and has a hem, it just naturally rolls up at the end. I've done several of these and I'm getting bigger for an adult. I cast on 100 points originally, now about 5 cm long. How much time must be before you start cutting? And once you start reducing what pattern should I follow? I do not know if this helps, but the baby hat cast on 64, point 5 ", Then Round # 1 point 6, paragraph 2 together, # 2 point 5, point 2 together, etc. Thanks!
I point a few adults with brimmed hats and began rolling when it decreases the cross section was ~ 4-1/2 inches. I used 8 drops (k2tog) per round evenly spaced, round each other. I thicker needles and yarn, so if you start to decrease to 5 "should be about right. Here's the pattern. Http: / / knitflix.blogspot.com/2004/12/fo-26-27-quickie-hat-scarf.html
