Granny Stripes!

I'm in LOVE with granny stripes! They're so easy to do, and work up pretty quickly too. I've got 3 started for various friends/family. I have some of the yarn for each blanket, not all of it, which is why i'm not finishing one before starting the other.

A. is cream, bright blue & purple. I don't have a pic of this one yet.

B. is white alternating with color. I'm probably going to stick with dark colors. I like how they pop against the white.

C. is brown alternating with pastels to match baby's nursery.

B & C aren't finding out the gender of the baby, so they're gender neutral. A is already here and a girl.

"Temperance Hat" - The Pattern

Now available as a PDF. download now


I'm using Caron Simply Soft Eco and size 8 circular needles. 

•  Cast on 90 stitches. (This will decrease to 88 stitches after the ribbing)

• Work in K4P2 ribbing for about 4 inches (for me that is 24 rows). You will start with knit 4 and end with purl 2. 

• On row 25, or the next row after your ribbing, you will decrease by 2 stitches to get 88 stitches. Once with your first knit stitch and once in the middle of your hat with another knit stitch. C6F, P1, K2tog, P1, K1, P1. *C6F, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1*. Repeat in *-* 2 more times. **C6F, P1, K2tog, P1, K1, P1.  Repeat from ** to end of round. I put a stitch marker in front of every C6F to make it easier for me to remember.

1. Rows 1-6: *K6, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1. Repeat to end of round.
2. Row 7: *C6F, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1. Repeat to end of round.

• Continue with steps 1&2 four more times. (You can do 5 more times if you wish. I will do this on my next one as i like them a little longer).  You should have 5 cables high and 8 around your hat.

Decreases:

Row 1: *K6, P1, K1, K2tog, P1. Repeat from * to end of round. (80 stitches)
Row 2 & 3: *K6, P1, K2, P1. Repeat from * to end of round.
Row 4: *K6, P1, K2tog, P1. Repeat from * to end of round. (72 stitches)
Row 5 & 6: *K6, P1, K1, P1. Repeat from * to end of round.
Row 7: *C6F, K2tog, P1. Repeat from * to end of round. (64 stitches)
Row 8 & 9: *K6, K1, P1. Repeat from * to end of round.
Row 10: *K6, P2tog. Repeat from * to end of round. (56 stitches)
Row 11 & 12: *K6, P1. Repeat from * to end of round.
Row 13: *K5, K2tog. Repeat from * to end of round. (48 stitches)
Row 14: C6F all the way around.
Row 15: Knit.
Row 16: *SSK, K2, K2tog. Repeat from * to end of round. (32 stitches)
Row 17: *SSK, K2tog. Repeat from * to end of round. (16 stitches)
Row 18: *SSK. Repeat from * to end of round. (8 stitches)

Cut yarn and thread through remaining 8 stitches, pulling them snug. Thread through them again to secure. Weave in remaining yarn.
