Turn a Square

First hat done for Friend #2

It's Jared Flood's Turn-a-Square hat.  You can see where it gets its name from this picture.

Here's the hat folded in quarters.  I checked my gauge and thought I got gauge, but this hat is a little bigger than I would have liked.  I think that I got 5.25 to 5.5 sts to the inch instead of the 5 sts to the inch recommended.  I swear I measured 5 sts to the inch though.  I measured TWICE.  Oh well.  I also doubled the yarn and used a US Size 7 needle.  I know.  I know.  You're shaking your head thinking "and you expected to get gauge?"

I think hats can be tricky for just the right sizing too! I am about to embark on a hat for my son Zach this week. His birthday is coming and he has hinted that he is ready for a new college hat.

Love it! That sure looks like a good hat...will have to keep that pattern in mind the next time I need to knit a cap :)

De-Nile. It's my favorite river, too. ;-)

I made one as well, it is sized quite large.

Friend #2? Now you're giving us numbers? Remember that old song by Toto, "99"?
