It sounds like you're in the home stretch.<BR/><BR/>Sorry the visor template didn't print out the way it was supposed to -- but it sounds like you found a way around that.<BR/><BR/>You do have to stretch the fabric some to make the plastic fit. It's snug, but once you've seamed it up, it will fit like a glove.<BR/><BR/>The reason why I chose to work the visor from the outer edge is (a) to have a seamless join on the side most people will see it from, and (b) to seam it from the front back (see above re: snug fit). Your idea sounds like it might work; if so, tell me, and I'll mention it.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and let me know if I can answer any more questions?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063944654826642334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276941897435306366.post-370876575138914942008-03-20T19:44:00.000-06:002008-03-20T19:44:00.000-06:00IZ...!!!I'm loving this hat honey!.... How do I do...IZ...!!!<BR/><BR/>I'm loving this hat honey!.... How do I do the bill? <BR/><BR/>I have the corrected pattern, so I get all of the hat up to the bill. This is new work for me (not short rows) adding on a bill.<BR/><BR/>First off my template did not print out to the size needed, but if increased to 150% then i got the 8" x 2" size you called for. <BR/><BR/>The bill bits seem to be too small for the template plastic, but I can trim it town to fit...<BR/><BR/>Why don't we pick up 34 stitches from the hat brim and work the bill from there? Is there a reason to leave the two little ends on the sides to be sewn in later? I"m working on circulars so I can easily pick up 34 stitches off the edge of the hat....<BR/><BR/>Any tips on the bill will be appreciated, I love this hat. I'm making it for my daughter and she loves it even without the bill...thanks !<BR/><BR/>MaureenMozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441793952307978752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276941897435306366.post-26046887620144982762007-12-21T19:30:00.000-06:002007-12-21T19:30:00.000-06:00Hi, K,I'm happy to help out.

Here's the problem then, if it's garter stitch, then it's all purl sts because you're wrapping and turning (W&T) that would make it garter instead the way it's written since you're turning and purling one row then knitting the next, it's stockinette st. Do you follow?

(The pictures are small enough that you have to look closely to see the garter stitch around the bottom edge of the hat and the seed stitch in the body.)<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! Feel free to send me pictures when you're done. :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063944654826642334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276941897435306366.post-28496438624943070662007-12-21T16:39:00.000-06:002007-12-21T16:39:00.000-06:00Hi!

It looks like the short rows for the body of the hat were done in seed stitch. What am I missing?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519736933724241318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276941897435306366.post-33387417396630620982007-12-17T10:16:00.000-06:002007-12-17T10:16:00.000-06:00Thanks for all the compliments, everyone!

I'm delighted that so many people like this pattern.<BR/><BR/>Miss Megs, shoot me an email (my address is at the bottom of the pattern on Magknits) and we'll check. I'm more than happy to help out. If I understand you correctly, then you've finished the short rows around the bottom edge of the hat (in garter stitch) and now need to do the rest of the body in seed stitch. When you cast on again, it should be for the visor -- which uses more short rows.

The short row shaping at the beginning of the pattern, after casting on for the hat "body" itself - where does this belong later. Is it part of the visor? I'm not quite clear on what purpose it serves... Thank you so much!<BR/><BR/>And I LOVE the pattern, it's the perfect hat for him!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027064129981417188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276941897435306366.post-37986374353342634392007-12-14T13:04:00.000-06:002007-12-14T13:04:00.000-06:00That is awesome about your pattern.
