RUFFLE BRIM CAP
Sizes: (14-16) (15-18) inches
MATERIALS:
Simply
Soft worsted weight (4) yarn approximately 1.25 (1.5) ounces
US
size 8 (5.0 mm) 29 inch circular knitting needle
US
size 8 (5.0 mm) 16 inch circular knitting needle
US size 8 (5.0 mm) double point needles
Tapestry needle
Marker
US size 8 (5.0 mm) double point needles
Tapestry needle
Marker
GAUGE:
9 sts
= 2 inches
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before
beginning cap.
2. Cast on and first row is worked on a longer
circular because it’s easier to see if the stitches are twisted. I used a 29
inch, but you can use a 24 or even the 16 inch, but it will be much harder to
tell if you have a twist. Work a few
stitches of row 1 and check one more time to be sure your stitches aren’t
twisted. Ask me why…
3. When switching to the shorter needles don’t
transfer them, just knit them off the longer needle with the shorter one.
4. Added 5/4/12: Some people are having trouble with the brim rolling up too much. There are a couple things you can try to cure this. a. cast on with a larger needle. b. Work a round of purls between rounds 1 and 2.

If not as obsessive: just knit that last st and get on with row 2. (36 sts)
Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row.
