We begin by knitting sideways on the brim. Essentially you will cast on, knit as instructed, bind off, and then sew the two ends together. I have elected to use my “normal” preferred cast on (long tail) and bind off (sewn); however, if you would like a more seamless look on the ribbing then you may wish to try a provisional cast on to later graft your stitches together. If you choose this seamless method it will be necessary to graft the curl together as well as the ribbing due to having live stitches. Refer to the photos on page 3 to see where the cast on and bind off edges join.
This collection includes a variety of simple knits (knitting candy!)
that are cute, quick, and make great gifts. To sweeten the pot a little
more, all the designs included will be named for, and done in colors,
that are inspired by some of my favorite sweet treats.
