Lauren's Scarf and Hat

My niece, Lauren, couldn't find her scarf . . . she thinks one of her students to a five finger discount and lifted it.  I offered to make her one and she agreed to something colorful. I asked if she wanted a hat also. She said, "Just don't make something stupid!"

Moi? Her favorite aunt . . . and s-h-h-h-h-h, don't tell anyone, I am her only aunt. Now, if we go to aunts and great-aunts she has my Aunt Ruth . . . and she deserves to be the favorite. She is the matriarch of our family.

But, I digress . . . here is what the scarf and hat ended up looking like. I like them a lot, but I am going to replace the pom-pom with a bigger one. This one is out of proportion . . but I wanted the picture so you get what I had.

NOTES:

1. Each row is made of twenty-eight squares.
2. Once the 1st square is complete, the next squares are joined as you go.
3. When making the second row, the 1st square will be joined to the first square of the first row.
4. The 2nd square in the second row will be joined to the 1st square in that row AND the 2nd square of the first row.
5. The method I am going to teach you allows you to join the granny squares as you make them . . . no waiting until you have all of the squares done to join them.
6. Your squares are done in sequence: A-F then repeat until you have reached the length you want. I made 28 squares per row but you may increase or decrease at your will.

NOTES FOR HAT

1.      This hat can be made for any size from a preemie to an adult male.        You will need to make your crown the circumference and height        of the person you are making the hat for.

2.      Check the chart at the bottom of the pattern for the circumferences       and heights for different ages of individuals. Then, fill in the       information you need below.

a.       _____ Circumference of Head

b.      _____ Circumference For Hat

c.       _____ Height of Hat

3.      To make measuring the hat easier:

a.      cut a piece of yarn in one color the length of the        circumference of the hat.

b.      Cut another piece of yarn, in a different color, the        length of the height you need.

4.      Do not fasten off. Carry un-used color until the next use.

5.      HINT: To get a GREAT size match, use Styrofoam balls with the                   circumference of the head you want to fit. This works                   SO MUCH BETTER than measuring in inches.

SET UP FOR HAT

Row 1 (RS): Make a chain equal to, or close to, the height                      needed, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each                      ch to the end, ch 1, turn.

Row 2 (WS): Sc in blo of each st but stop 5 sts before the                       end, ch 1, turn.

Row 3: Sc in blo of each st to the end, ch 1, turn.

Row 4: Sc in blo of each st to the end of row 2, then sc             in the remaining sts remaining on Row 1, ch 1, turn.
