Family Ski Toque

     This is one with the braided tassels on the top, a similar design to
the artic fleece hats that were so popular last year.

Head circumference - 18-19-21-21-22-23

Keyplate 4 and bulky weight wool - 100 grams of main colour and oddments of
contrast if design is required.

Tension:-  4 stitches and 6 rows to one inch.

Closed edge cast on 68-70-72-74-78-82 stitches.

RC 000
Knit to row 20
Change to keyplate 2 and knit one row - this is for turning.
The following twenty rows can be either in contrast or the same colour, or
you can work some intarsia or fairisle work as this is the two rwos that
will be showing at the bottom of the hat.
Return row counter to 000
Knit 10-12-12-12-14-14-15 divide work.  Pull 34 -35-36-37-39-41 needles on
opposite carriage to holding position;
* Push the one needle closest the carriage to holding position and knit one
row.  Repeat from * until 12 stitches remain.
Knit one row.
Take these off on waste yarn.

        What you are doing is removing half of the stitches that you have
just worked and you will now return and repeat the above for the remaining
stitches.

Fasten off and join.

Cord:- e-wrap 3 stitches knit until 5 inches in length or desired length.
        Make two more.
        Braid and attach to center of hat, baid and let hang.  You can also
add a tassel here if you desire.

        This was a pattern that once knit it is very simple and we used it
for caps for kids in our area.

- --------------------

Headband:-

        Following the above directions work until it is time to make the
main part of the hat, cast off and join.

        This is a very wide reversible band that keeps the ears warm and a
great teaching tool for fairisle and intarsia.

Have fun bonding on the net.
