LOVE!
Did you use a pattern or did you just whip them up with your crochet superpower?

Hi knitters!

I don't know if this question has been answered before. I did a quick search without result. Here I go!

I'm knitting a hat for a friend. I want it to be really warm so I'm using the double-knitting technique (I do k1, p1 as shown in the knittinghelp video). I made a swatch and it gives me 6 stitches per inch on one side. To make a hat with 21 inches circumference, do I have to double the total?

6 x 21 = 126
126 x 2 = 252

Of course it's huge. I tried again, this time removing 10% (as per this post) and rounding it down so it's divisible by 8 (as per this video). So I'm now down to 224 stitches and it's still huge.

Should I cast on 126 stitches, and double-knit on that? Won't that be too small?

Thanks so much for your help!

I got my angel package from tlh878!! Sorry it took so long to post the pictures...

Ok, so here it is!


I got colourful dryer balls, a very pretty cherry sandwich wrap (which has been used since the picture was taken!), reusable pads (in white for my very allergic self!) and condo cards!

I took some more pictures of the condo cards just to show y'all! I've been wanting some reminders not to spend so much (I'm a compulsive and emotional buyer) so I asked for something that I could put in my wallet to remind me not to listen to that voice in my head saying "BUY BUY BUY, YOU NEEEEEEEEED THIS!". I also said in my questionnaire that I was trying to save to buy a condo. Tlh878 put 2 and 2 together and made me condo cards!




Thanks so much tlh878!!
