Hat Directions:
Cast on using the crochet cast on method.
Knit in the round with the e-wrap stitch for 27 rows, or until the hat is as long as you would like it. Cut yarn, leaving a 6” tail.
Bind off using the gathered method.
Weave in the beginning yarn tail. Roll hat brim.
If desired, add a tassel or pom pom to the top of the hat.
Tube Scarf Directions:
Cast on using the crochet cast on method.
Knit in the round with the e-wrap stitch for 148 rows, or until the scarf is as long as you would like it.
Knit one more row, making each new loop loose enough to reach the adjacent peg.
Bind off using the flat method, starting with pegs 1-2 until there is one loop left on the loom. Cut yarn, leaving an 8” tail.
Thread ending yarn tail onto a tapestry needle. Bring the needle up through the remaining yarn loop, and remove the loop from the loom. Bring the needle under the first loop of the bind-off, completing the chained top edge (see illustration). Bring the needle through the top of the last loop to complete the stitch. Weave in the yarn tail on the inside of the knitting.
Weave in the beginning yarn tail.
If desired, add fringe through both thicknesses of the cast on and bound off ends of the scarf, or gather the ends of the scarf and add a tassel to each end.
