Cost of each project will vary depending on materials used.
Due to the seasonal nature of some merchandise, actual availability of some products pictured may vary.


Starting with the tie string end of the hat, using 2 pegs and wrap the yarn in a figure 8 design do 2 wraps and knit the bottom over the top loops, until the tie measures 8-inches.


As you wrap the yarn to the right side of the loom add a loop on the next peg to add a stitch to the hat. Turn around and wrap back to the starting peg. Continue adding to the one side until all of the pegs on the loom are full.


Decrease one stitch on the right hand side, by turning on the last peg (make this last turning stitch very loose) and knit the next two stitches. (Because you have knit back on the 3 stitches, this holds the knitting so that you do not pull it too tight).


Using the crochet hook, take the loop from the turning peg and pull the next loop through the end one and put the remaining loop back on the same peg. Keep this very loose.


When you have decreased to the last 2 loops start wrapping in the figure 8 design and knitting these stitch off, until you have a tie string 8-inches long.


Make a pom-pom or a tassel to hang on the point of the hat.
Tip:
Follow manufacturer’s direction for products used.
