DIRECTIONS:
STITCH EXPLANATIONS:M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal strand lying between needles and placing it onto the left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
yo (yarn over):
An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows:
1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles.
2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed.
NOTES:
Hat is worked in rnds from the lower edge upwards, beginning on a circular needle then changing to double pointed needles as sts are decreased to shape top.
Scarf is worked back and forth in rows on a circular needle, just as if working on straight needles.
