Notes
This pattern gives you instructions for making the Poppy
hat using any of 3 different yarn weights and 7 different
sizes from birth to small adult.
Each hat is made in the same way using straight nee-
dles and show row sections of knitting to form the shape.
At the beginning of the pattern I have given the instruc-
tions for the different sections - please refer to these
when working from your pattern.
The concern most knitters have are with the wrap and
turn instructions, I have given the most basic method
here, please refer to your favourite kitting book, Youtube
video or friend for more advanced methods, which can
create almost invisible wraps.
Some of the sizes do not seem to differ much in the
number of rows or stitches, this is because of the lateral
stretch which allows the hat to ft the next size up.
The hat can be worked on straight needles, however the
band must be knitted on a circular needle as straights do
not have enough give
Please, please, please use a yarn with elastic properties
(wool, wool blend or yarn with lycra) for best results.
If you run into problems please explore the Poppy or
Aviatrix threads in our online forum, the Just Jussi group
on www.ravelry.com there is a wealth of help there.
Happy knitting!
Justine
Please feel free to use an alternative short row tech-
nique, I have some short row video tutorials avail-
able through my website www.justjussi.com or just
google knitting short rows.
Please read the entire pattern prior to starting.
The frst number refers to the frst size, with subse-
quent sizes following in parentheses.
