That required picking up the bar between the stitches and finally knitting together with the bar between the cast-on stitches. To knit a folded brim on the fly, I'd have to knit into the upside-down original stitches - tricky but possible.<br /><br /> I suppose I'd knit double-layer earflaps first and then knit upward, doubleknitting the brim, but then why stop with a double brim when you could have the entire hat double thick?=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-51903333693642675322010-01-24T22:37:31.688+00:002010-01-24T22:37:31.688+00:00I agree with Christine.

I did that with the Rogue sweater and it made a really nice hem.FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-72154876442035837932010-01-24T11:37:30.861+00:002010-01-24T11:37:30.861+00:00I also enjoyed the broadcast on the handaxe, and t...I also enjoyed the broadcast on the handaxe, and the convenience of listening to it at leisure on the i-player. However, what puzzles me is the assemblage of artifacts, some totally utilitarian and others with a symbolic function. Easy to estimate significance for the earliest items and much harder later, when even what constitutes history might be a matter for debate.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-88332493997222496982010-01-24T11:09:19.521+00:002010-01-24T11:09:19.521+00:00Why not try a provisional cast on for the ear flap...Why not try a provisional cast on for the ear flap hat, makes it so much easier to pick up stitches to join for a hem. I'm in the throes of a series of top down sweaters for 3 generations of our family (Dad, husband & grandson, so covering 4 generations I guess!) & have found a crochet provisional cast on a very useful thing for crew necks. I find sewing down hems etc considerably less satisfactory, much easier to get the tension right when knitting together, and anyway I'm not keen on sewing things up generally! <br /><br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
