    Hi,
    I am trying to make this hat and I seem to have a problem when beginning the decrease. At the end
    of Row 8 (the top part) I have 96 stitches. When I begin the 1st row of 20 that row only calls for using 91 stitches, so I have 5 stitches left over. Can you please help me to figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

      Hello Sue, no i can not see where you can be going wrong. There is a Ravelry group page kAL for this hat. The group has gone quiet but you may find something that may be of help. The group is called ''Lotus hat knit-a-long''. I would love to knit this hat again so will cast on another hat this afternoon & in doing so, may be able to figure out where your having problems. Let me know if your still struggling with it. Best regards Lorraine

      This is not my pattern. I can't remember who supplied it.

    SO I found the original pattern and see the error in your translation of it. In line 1 of the last 20 rounds you have an extra K1 at the beginning. Removing that makes it work out fine. :)

Shetland Wool Sampler Blanket-kit giveaway from 07-June 2013 TO 30th September 2013

Shetland Wool Sampler Blanket. Been years since i knit a wool Throw & i thought its about time i knit another ! In the past i have knit throws from crappy acrylic, scratchy old sheep wool but the best were knit from soft Buffalo yarn or musk ox wool. Every throw has been gifted to friends or Family or sold as a custom knit order. Our kids grew-up wrapped in hand knit throws & to this day they still mention them from time to time.  I'm sure when this is finally finished there will be heated debate over who gets to keep it ! The Natural colours i have chosen to work with are  100% shetland in Musket colour(sample on needles shown above), 100% shetland yarn in light grey,  100% shetland in pureWhite ?,(Not sure about the white)  50% very black shetland blended with 50% grey angora rabbit, Shetland Tundra yarn in natural greyish brown with qiviut, 100% magical qiviut in 3ply ....all spun...
