"You are knitting 4 identical panels, sewing the cast off edges together to create the shoulders, then sewing a seam down the middle back and both sides to create the sweater. The blocking is to ensure all the pieces come out to the same size before sewing, the collar/neck is simply folded back at the neck line."
Lisa
"The pattern calls for a 15mm 19US needle not a 15 US needle which would be a 10 mm as noted here on all free knitting."
Lisa
"This pattern was in an email for "brand new" patterns, but the yarn has been discontinued for 8-10 years."
Lisa
"You could follow the directions as written but change the knit 5" to knit 7 to 8" and just not do the fold at the bottom, since typically slouch hats are at least 12" tall, however this yarn is a bulky and the recommended substitute yarn is super bulky on very small needles, so even altering the pattern is probably not going to give you the result you want."
Lisa
"The pattern specifies which yarn to use for each section, so when you see "with yarn b" in the instructions, that is the yarn you will use until you are instructed to change to a different colour. The pattern also specifies which stitches to use line by line for each section. Based on your questions this may be a pattern that you may not be quite ready for since it is an intermediate pattern that you do need to have a decent amount of knitting experience to complete the project."

Weekend Hats: 25 Knitted Caps, Berets, Cloches, and More

 Reviewed by Caitlin Kavanaugh, Editor of AllFreeKnitting 

I think there comes a point in every knitter's life where they admit that all they want is a quick, satisfactory project.  If you've found yourself in this boat (believe me, I practically live in that boat), then you'll love getting your hands on this exciting collection of knit hats, caps, berets and more.  Each pattern featured is small, portable and perfect for the busy knitter who is always on the go. 
 

Besides being able to complete hat projects quickly, as the authors explain, hats are also great opportunities for practicing new techniques and stitches in a tiny, confined project.  Build your confidence gradually by testing out a new stitch in one of these hats and then when you find a larger project that uses the same technique, you'll be able to knit it with confidence.  
 

What I particularly appreciate about this book is all of the variety.  You'll find everything from lacy feminine hats to hats that are strong and sporty, perfect for your favorite gentlemen.  Even if you're new to hat knitting, you'll find something to enjoy in Weekend Hats.  There are several basic patterns along with patterns for the more advanced knitter, but no matter what your skill level is, all of these projects are easy to take with you and perfect for the colder seasons.  Enjoy!
