So ... Hubby said that he wanted to learn how to knit - on dpns and that he would learn by learning how to make his own Jacques Cousteau Hat. So, we went crazy and bought him an assortment of dpns. And he learned how to cast on and ... loved it! He loved it so much that it was all he wanted to do: cast on (rip it out), cast on (again) (and rip it out again)! My silly boy tricked me! So, I just gave in and made his hat just in time for Halloween. Using my Chiaogoo Twist needles 4mm (US 7) & 40" cable, here's Hubby's (new) version of the Jacques Cousteau:
- Cast on 120 sts.
- K3, P2 for 53 rows (for about 15.5 cm (6.12 in))
- *Work 26 sts in the rib pattern, then KKS (Knit-knit-slip) (27th & 28th sts => 27 st), place marker, P2*, repeat * 3 more times.
- *Work to 2 sts of marker, KKS, P2*, repeat * Continue to decrease in this fashion until 12 sts remain (that's 26 rows).
- Break yarn and thread it through the remaining sts, pull tight and weave in ends.
Ta-da! Here's how it looks:

All done and ready for Halloween! 🎃
