I bought this kit at Wal-mart.
The size yarn to use is between size 3-5.
Make a loop
and tie it around the knob,
loop the yarn around the prongs,
once you have went around one time,
go around one more time,
tie it off on the knob again,
hook the bottom over the top yarn
and over the peg,
push the yarn down a little bit.
Start looping the yarn around the pegs again
Once you have gone around about 4-5 times,
untie the tail from the knob & let it hang.
Once you get 4-5 inches long
cut the tail about 3 inches long.
Thread the yarn thru the blue needle.
Pull the needle thru each hoop
and pull the yarn off of the peg.
I thread mine thru one more time
and then pull tight.
Tie a knot two times so that it will
not come undone.
Pull the yarn thru the inside of the hat
and cut off.
Take the tail and thread into the needle.
Stitch upward thru the stitch
as far as you think you need to go.
Turn the hat inside out and take off
needle and cut excess off.
You are done!
You can roll the bottom of the hat up and down depending on how small you need to make it. I have read on other sites about making clothes for preemies and babies that have passed away, not to use yellow yarn as it will make the baby look bad. If you have any questions, please comment and I will respond.
