35 mm. Fresh from the Knitty rejection pile! (It's okay Knitty, I still love you. Let's hang out sometime?) 35mm Hat Growing up in Minnesota, I know the value of warm winter accessories. Unfortunately, I see so many people covering their heads with boring, machine-knit hats that I sometimes get the desire to make hats for people I hardly know. Since handing out new hats to my acquaintances might come across as strange, perhaps I’ll settle on giving them to my friends and family. This hat was designed for my older brother, Colin.

Knitty.com. Editorial spring 06. Note: To make this pattern easier to understand, the predominantly yellow (MC) side will be called the RS, and the predominantly black (CC) side will be called the WS. CO 48 stitches using CC. I recommend using a cable cast on, but a tubular cast on is also nice for double knitting. Now it's time to add the second color, and work the first row. You will have to get used to holding both yarns at once. The first row is worked entirely in MC on the RS, and CC on the WS. You should have what looks like the first row of 1x1 rib, but with the purled stitches in a different color from the knitted ones. Turn the work, so the WS is facing. You have just worked 2 rows in double-knit stockinette stitch, with one side (RS) worked in MC, and one side (WS) in CC. Begin Chart Pattern: When working from this chart, the odd-numbered rows will be RS rows, and the even-numbered rows will be WS rows. Work through all rows of the chart, then repeat rows 97-102 until the scarf is the desired length.
