 Gene
Chambers and Jean Alley model knitted camouflage hats for
the soldiers to wear under their helmets or at night as
temperatures drop.
You can buy the yarn in
Wal-Mart or Michaels
Soldier’s Hat
Size 8 needles
You can buy camouflage yarn at Supper Wal Mart. One skein
makes three hats
Yarn Black camouflage,
brown, or dark green-about 2 ounces, Worsted weight
Cast on 72 stitches
Row 1: k2, p2, across
ending with p2
Row 2 repeat first
row or make one more row to keep the band from rolling
Row 3: knit
Row 4: Purl
Repeat these last 2
rows until the hat is 7” from the start; end on a purl row.
K2 together across
the row
Purl a row
K2 together across the
row
Last row: purl across
Cut yarn about 14
inches, using a large eye needle pull yarn through the
remaining stitches , pull tight and sew up the seam. I use
the yarn left over at the bottom of the hat to sew up the
last part of the seam.
These hats go under
the helmets so they can not be too large. |
