Baby Animal 'Apple' Hat

Lion Brand^® Lion^® Suede

GAUGE:

12 sts + 19 rows = 4” [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with A on largest needles. 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:

Knitted Cord *Slide sts to other end of double-pointed needle and knit them, pulling yarn tightly across the back of the work. (Do not turn work.) Rep from * to make cord.

EMBROIDERY STITCHES

Stem Stitch Working from left to right, bring needle up through knitted piece to right side. Holding the thread toward you, take a short slanting back stitch. Make the next and each successive stitch from right to left and bring the needle out to the left at the end of previous stitch.

French Knot Thread needle and bring from back to front through knitted piece. Wrap yarn around needle 3 times, insert needle back into knitted piece close to where it emerged. Tighten knot.

NOTE
All pieces are worked with largest needles unless otherwise noted.

Baby Animal 'Apple' Hat Reviewed by Margaret on 2008-09-14
I made this for my 22 year old sister and she loooooved it. I changed the pattern a little bit. I knit 8 rows then knit 1 row purl the next until it was 8 inches. I followed the pattern from there. I was really confused on the leaves so i made up how to make the as I went along. I did not use the worm because it looked more like a horn, but i still liked the idea.
