The Perfect Knitted Bucket Hat

This is the perfect knitted bucket hat!. Whether you leave it plain or embellish with a sharp button, this bucket is sure to turn heads! A beefy Cotton Yarn would make it a great sun hat!



Supplies:
16” US 7/4.5mm circular needle
1 set US 7/4.5mm dpns or size to obtain gauge
Spare circular needle, size 3mm - 4mm 24” or longer in length for provisional cast on and hem.
Yarn needle
Stitch markers
Yarn: approx 200 yards aran-weight yarn.
Shown in Malabrigo Merino Worsted, #41 Burgundy

Gauge:
18 sts and 28 rows to 4 inches
Size:
Fits most adult heads
Finished Circumference: 21 inches

Abbreviations & Techniques:
k2tog: Knit two stitches together
k1fb: Increase by knitting into the front and the back of the same stitch.
pco: Provisionally Cast On
I prefer a provisional cast on using a spare circular needle as illustrated on Eunny
Jang’s great website: http://www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/03/majoring_in_lace_part_iv.html
For this cast on, it helps to tension your yarn as if crocheting. With a slip knot on your right tip of your main circular needle, and the cable of a second circular needle held below, bring your right needle under the cable and pull up a loop of yarn. Swing the right needle above the cable and behind the yarn, pulling the yarn forward. Two stitches have now been cast on, including the slip knot. Continue to repeat these two steps until you have the proper number of stitches.
After completing the brim, you’ll bring the spare circular up to meet the main one and attach by
knitting together the first stitch from the main needle with the first stitch from the spare circular.
After you’ve knit together each pair of stitches, you’ll again have the number of initially cast on
stitches and can continue with the pattern.
This type of cast on is well suited for hems of all kinds. Try it out today, and if you get stuck, a
quick Google search for “Provisional Cast On” will turn up videos and other textual descriptions.
Have fun!

MATERIALS
• 487-135 Lion Brand LB Collection Cotton Bamboo: Persimmon
3 3, 3, 4, 4 Balls
• Knitting Needles- Size 6 [4.00 mm]
• Stitch Holders
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE:
22 sts + 30 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR
GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the
pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches
and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more
stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
NOTES:
1. Tank is made in two pieces, Back and Front.
2. Straps are worked as part of the Back. After sides are seamed, the straps are joined to the
Front with a 3-Needle bind off. Straps are worked without an edging, so edges will roll softly.
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle.
Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2
sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased.
s2k2p2 (slip 2-k2tog-pass 2 slipped sts over)
A triple decrease worked as follows:
1. Insert right needle as if to knit, and slip the next st from the left needle to the right needle.
2. Rep step 1, to slip next st to the right needle.
3. Knit the next 2 sts together.
4. With tip of left needle, lift the 2 slipped sts (the 2nd and 3rd st on right needle) up and over the k2tog (first st on
right needle) and off the needle - you have decreased 3 sts.

Cotton Shawl, So Nice on Cool Summer Nights!

Just right for those cool summer nights and those very hot summer dresses!

SIZE: One Size
About 31 in. (78.5 cm) long at widest point
MATERIALS
• 480-204 Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton Yarn: Limeade 5 Balls
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)
• Additional Materials
Circular knitting needle size 8 (5 mm), 36 in. (91.5 cm) long

GAUGE:
15 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
kfb (knit into front and then back)
An increase worked as follows:
1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.
skp (slip-knit-pass slipped st over)

A decrease worked as follows:
1. Slip the next st as if to knit, from the left needle to the right needle.
2. Knit the next st.
3. With tip of left needle, lift the slipped st (the 2nd st on right needle) up and over the first st on right needle and off the needle - you have decreased 1 st.

NOTES:
1. Shawl is worked from side to side, from one point across to the other point.
2. Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle, as if working on straight needles.

Bind off loosely.
As with any lace knitting, it isn't finished until it has been blocked. On a padded but firm surface, pin the scarf out to a gently stretched size. Steam with a steamer or hold your steam iron just barely above the surface to cover the whole area. Allow to dry thoroughly, discouraging any resident pets from napping on your creation.
Optional but recommended: For fringe, cut 20 lengths of yarn 11" long. Fold each pc in half and using a crochet hook, pull the fold through the first st of the center portion of the hem. Pull both cut ends of the yarn through the loop and snug up to the hem (lark's head knot).
Tie an overhand knot using both cut ends, about 1-1/2" below the hem. Put a pony bead on one strand (I used a tiny crochet hook to pull the yarn through). Now tie another overhand knot using both ends about 1" below the first, trapping the bead. Repeat across the center portion of the hem, 10 ends evenly spaced on each end.
