Garter also works, and works well if you use at least a size smaller needle for the garter stitch portion.<br /><br />I love the patterns and the natural colors. I did tell you about "Folk Knitting in the Andes" didn't I? It's got actual patterns for the ear flaps from different locations (kind of like language - they have their own dialect).<br /><br />Good job(s)!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-44399437123000851972009-05-07T07:05:00.000-07:002009-05-07T07:05:00.000-07:00Great hats!
