Today I'm introducing
The Karen Cap was created last year for my mom, as she started her battle with rain Cancer. One year nd 7 days ago doctors found a tumor in my mom's brain and it started a short lived battle that ended in her passing away 5 months later.
During her battle I knit her 3 hats, but her favorite by far was this one, so I named it after her. In fact the last day I saw her we took a photo together and she was wearing this hat.
All this to say, this hat is very special to me and I hope that it is shared with people who can use it!
This hat was knit with CoBaSi Plus which I highly recommend for a beautiful breathable but soft hat! You can pick up the yarn in store or online.

Can you please give me a little more instruction on how the "triple wrap" is done? Row 2 of the Fan Stitch has me totally confused!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make this for my sister-law but I would like to know if you can please show me how to do the fan stitch I would really appreciate it please and thank you
ReplyDeleteNeed help also don't under Stan the fan stitch.
ReplyDeleteI had this same question but I came across the pattern on Ravelry and this was her answer on there: Hi there!
DeleteNormally when you make a knit stitch you wrap the yarn just once (I’m an English Knitter, so I throw…if you pick you just pick once) For this stitch I want you to wrap it 3 times. So go into the stitch as if to knit, wrap the right needle 3 times then finish the stitch. It will look like you tripled the stitch count, but you will let go of the extra loops on the next round. Please let me know if you have ANY other questions….I’m happy to help!!!
Thank you posting the clarification Donna!! You Rock!!
DeleteHi Donna Deskin. Hoping you can help me. I understand the wrap it 3 times but the next row confuses me. Row 2. Do you unwrap the triple wraps so there is only one? It says slip stitches from lh to rh needle. Bring working yarn to the fron of your work. slip the 5 stitches from the rh to the lh needle? This isn't the same 5 stitiches is it? It is the next set of 5 right? I guess you turn your work and that is why you ar going from lh to rh and then rh to lh???? Please help me. Lol
