Grace's Hat

I have had a couple of questions about the little hat I made for Grace, so I thought I would try to give a few more details.



The original pattern came from Kids Knitted Hats by Cabin Fever. I started the hat as instructed, but quickly realized I liked the scalloped edge hanging down much more than folded up as in the picture. I knew I would have to alter the pattern, though, as the bound off top of the original did not (in my mind) go with the scalloped edge I was going to leave down. I continued knitting in the round until that hat measured a good length for a small hat, purled for three rows and then started by decrease by dividing out my stitches evenly. The decrease I used was a skpsso (slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over).

Below is a picture of the original hat from the book and the cover of the book incase anyone is interested in purchasing it.
