Make sure you run your ends through on of the knitted rows to hide them. I show you how on the video.

Ideas Remember that the hat can change in size by increasing the number of rows. If you want a wider hat you need to increment the number of stitches proportionally.

This is a super simple yet very useful gift for everyone.
It is a knitted Wash Cloth made with your favorite yarn ( you may wan to use something soft like cotton or acrylic yarn would do) .
The idea is to knit the Cloth itself with a little crochet ear at the end. Then ‘crunching’ it together into a puff and putting a bar of soap inside (preferably wrapped, they just need to get the idea that it’s for washing) and tied up with a bow that has been interwoven in the cloth.
Our most popular gift idea and an original from Joanne.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
Size 8 needlesCotton yarn.
Cast on 5 stitches.Knit 2 rows. Next row: Knit 2 stitches, knit next stitch from the front and from the back, knit last 2 stitches=6Next Row: Knit.
Increase Rows:Knit 3 stitches, yarn over, knit to end of row.Do this at the beginning of each row.Knit until you have the sides as long as you want it. Ex: Size 8 needles=55 stitches.
