Fish Hat - Winter 2008. Using desired color for fish lips, CO 90 sts onto double-point needles. Divide sts between needles and join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. Once first few rounds have been worked, place safety pin or split ring marker in work to indicate beginning of round. Work in stockinette st until work measures 1.5 inches. Break color used for lips and join desired color for head. Shape Mouth: Mouth is shaped using short rows. It is not necessary to pick up wraps when working wrapped sts on subsequent rows; edge of mouth will be hidden by rolled edge of lip.
Shape Body: Continue as follows, changing colors as desired. Work 4.75 inches in stockinette st. Tail: K 3 rounds. Row 1 [RS]: [K1, kfb] 5 times, k1. 16 sts. Replace held sts on needle and rejoin yarn with RS facing. Dorsal Fin: Lay hat flat, so that longest parts of short-rowed fish mouth are at center, and shortest parts are at side folds. K 1 row.
