Hints & Tips

-          When you do the two fpdc in the same st make sure the second fpdc goes behind the first fpdc – this will push Color A to the front and create a consistent look.

-          It doesn’t matter what type of join you use for this hat, I used a slip stitch join.

-          When switching colors, when you bring up the color you are changing to, place it under the former working yarn and that yarn over. If you do this every time it will twist as you go and the strands can easily be separated by grabbing both strands, one in each hand, and pulling. They will “un-twirl”.
