  • probably a well known answer, but what is a stretchy cast on? Carol

  • The tubular cast on in the pattern is very stretchy. A German Twisted cast on also has nice stretch--search for it on the internet if you need instructions. Some people like doing a cast on over 2 needles or one larger sized needle, but I haven't haven't had success with that. Do an internet search and I'm sure you'll find a variety of suggestions.

  • I have a question about the decreasing technique. The pattern calls for:

    K1, sl2togkw, k1, p2sso

    I'm a little bit confused because I haven't done the sl2togkw and p2sso parts before.

    When you do the sl2togkw, do you just slip 1 stitch knitwise and then slip the second stitch knitwise? Or do you slip both of them together as if you're going to k2tog?

    And regarding slipping stitches, are you actually just slipping the stitches or are you knitting them together? Because if you are just slipping the stiches, you don't end up decreasing anything.

  • You're slipping 2 stitches together knit-wise as if you're doing a k2tog. You're really slipping the stitches, not knitting them.

    To do the decrease, insert your needle into the next 2 sts as if you're going to do a k2tog, then slip them off the left needle; knit the next stitch; use the tip of your left needle to pass the 2 slipped stitches over the stitch you just knit. This decreases 2 sts.

    You'll also find this double decrease abbreviated as "sl2-k-p2sso" and "sl2-k1-p2sso".

  • Hey!
    My boyfriend is a huge fan of Life aquatic, and i really want to surprise him by making this hat.
    The problem is, i am a total beginner,
    and the hat pattern is Chinese for me...
    Is there a possibility that someone can explain it very simply, preferably with links to youtube tutorials?? :)))
    Tnx,
    Adi
