[...] Anyway, not much you can do with one skein besides a hat, so I searched Ravelry and found this pretty nice FREE pattern for a slouchy beret. I wanted something that I could knit while reading, so I was looking for something pretty simple [...]

Dear Jan,
I loved this pattern from the first sight! I knitted it twice, for my mom and for myself, and everybody who see us like our hats. =)

I was wondering whether I could have your permission to translate this pattern into Russian for more people could knit this lovely and fast hat?

Thanks in advance,
Lubov.

I made this hat for my son’s friend, and she loves it! Now she wants me to make her a purple scarf to match the hat.

Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed for a scarf? I called the yarn shop in Morton Il where I purchased the yarn, and one of the ladies there said to start with a few knit rows so the sne of the project doesn’t curl, and of course I won’t need a “turning row”

Thank you for sharing your pattern. Everyone who sees the one I made wants one like it!

You might call it the “hem” row instead of “turning” row; the word “turning” gives folks the impression that you should turn your knitting at that point, and knit in the opposite direction.
Love the pattern, and can’t wait to try it!

No. picot edge is worked the same, whether you are working in the round or flat.

Okay so I watched the video….but since the hat is worked in the round do you turn it inside out in order to do the YO K2tog?

I wonder if instead of sewing the two pieces together, what it would look like if you picked up stitches from the non-picot edge of the brim and worked up from there…?

Siminda-

I found this video to be very helpful:

And yes, you only do the turning row once.

Can you tell me either how to do the turning row or advise where I can watch a video…..I don’t get it. Also, we only do one turning row on the hat?

Thanks again, Siminda Lin
