\"Convertible<\/p>\n

An easy one-skein project with great practicality for fall weather! The hat will keep your head warm, but if a cold wind comes up, you simply untie the top, and pull it down to cover ears and neck! When the sun comes out again, you can continue to wear as a neck warmer or pull back up into hat position in a snap. This simple project is a great introduction to the technique of Slip Stitch Crochet, which yields a very soft and stretchy fabric, resembling knitted ribbing. The large hook size makes the project easy to manage and quick to work.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Notes …<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Child Size<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

A child sized hat\/neckwarmer is easy to make by using a K hook and sport weight yarn, following the same directions. Note: As with any drawstring, it\u2019s important to avoid allowing child to choke him\/herself!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Special Stitches<\/strong><\/td>\nSlip Stitch in Back Loop Only (slb)<\/span> <\/p>\n

Insert hook into back loop of indicated stitch, yo and loosely pull through both loops on hook in one smooth motion. Note: It’s very important to work loosely! This stitch is quick and easy, once you “get it” about the necessary looseness! It\u2019s also easy to “lose” the last stitch in the row, as it tends to “slouch” or lean toward the previous stitch, so it will be helpful to either count stitches in every row or to use a stitch marker in the last stitch, to indicate beginning of next row. If you have not yet worked in slip stitch crochet, you may want to practice a bit first with scrap yarn.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
