Your method using a 3-needle bind-off makes TONS more sense. Also like the braided ties better too!! Thanx!<br />You go to the head of the class......and it's a free pattern too.Quiltersammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761797560857582338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423850336186123528.post-71732194145742576162014-01-13T21:31:30.547-08:002014-01-13T21:31:30.547-08:00love it. thanks, this helps me out so much.

It's a much chunkier yarn than you've suggested, however - it's Rowan Big Wool (http://www.knitrowan.com/yarns/big-wool) with a suggested needle size of 15-19.<br /><br />I'm a real beginner and would love some guidance as to how to adjust your pattern to suit a chunkier yarn. Can you help?<br /><br />Thanks so much!Lottie Storey | Oyster & Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241271143427248493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423850336186123528.post-74977004871284060772012-12-02T23:38:58.066-08:002012-12-02T23:38:58.066-08:00love this pattern. don't let the haters get yo...love this pattern. don't let the haters get you down. pigbear and jen are totally out to lunch. calling you copycat is silly. how can a rectangle be copywrited? goofy. you are a terrific addition to our crafty world, keep up the good work.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578975206381282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423850336186123528.post-64661840968128937662012-11-19T19:51:07.006-08:002012-11-19T19:51:07.006-08:00In addition to my earlier post, I would like to ad...In addition to my earlier post, I would like to add that a button sewn onto the corner allows you to fold it up under your chin and makes it a little warmer in cold, windy weather!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743941166200470224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423850336186123528.post-90659271812382944492012-11-19T04:30:03.525-08:002012-11-19T04:30:03.525-08:00Beautiful!!!

However I do you really have to buy a pair of circular needles to finish it off? Could you just put it on 2 needles instead and use a 3rd to bindoff? I'm sure using a circular would be more comfortable to hold onto while binding off. But since I haven't done much and don't own a set of circular needles would I really need to buy a pair to do the pattern?

If you sell something similar then that's your business. I'm sure google will pull up quite a few of these patterns for FREE. Don't be a troll because others can share how to knit a rectangle. I made my first one as a gift. Figured out which stitch count and dec worked for ME and shared MY outcome. If you don't like my hat, then don't knit it. Certainly don't go throwing around accusations.PosiTorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567177266227118027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423850336186123528.post-77899040124693794062012-01-25T14:26:41.094-08:002012-01-25T14:26:41.094-08:00Did you TRULY make up this pattern??
