GAUGE:

14 1/2 sc + 7 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm).

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and
the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the
pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person
to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size
hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Hat is worked in joined rnds with RS always facing, beg at top of Hat.
2. Bow is worked separately and sewn to Hat.
3. We used contrast color yarns to make our step­by­step photos clear.

1. When working in skipped sts, always work them in right to left order (if you are left­handed work them in left to right
order).

easily see and reach the sts behind them.
