One of our great volunteers, Arlene Garbett Feldmeier, reworked the knitted helmet liner instructions using round needles which saves much time and effort from the old method. All the rows above the ribbing are knit, no purl and this method totally eliminates the back seam, which creates a warmer, more comfortable cap for our troops.Some of you knitters might like to try it. KNITTED HELMET LINER-- ROUND KNITTING METHODUse a 17 inch circular needle in size 7 Worsted yard in dark colors (black ,dark brown or dark green ) Cast on 72 stitches, leaving a 6 inch tail. Attach to form circle, first being sure all stitches point straight down on the needle and are not twisted. Mark beginning of row K2P2 across row, ending with P2 Continue in K2P2 ribbing for rows 2-6 Row 7 and thereafter, all knit Continue until cap length measures 8 ½ inches from start. K2 together across the row Knit a row K2 together across row Knit a row Cut a separate 14 inch piece of yarn. Thread a yarn needle (or use a crochet hook), pull the yarn through the stitches left on the circular needle, and remove the circular needle. Pull ends of yarn tightly, knot and tuck loose ends through several inside stitches. Clip. Tuck same with loose tail at ribbing. Original instructions: With the
weather getting cool, all you knitters out in our angel community, here are Cast on 72 Stitches |
