Something from (almost) nothing<br />

When you’ve been a knitter for a while, you usually develop a stash of<br />

leftover yarns; half a ball of this, a few dozen meters of that - too much<br />

to throw away, but not enough for a new project.<br />

My usual solution to this is to make hats! Some go to friends and family,<br />

but most to a local organization that distributes warm clothing in the<br />

autumn to anyone that needs it.<br />

This is the recipe for one of my favourite styles of hat or headband, great<br />

for using leftovers. The headband took only 35g total and each row took<br />

less than 3 meters (3¼yds), so you can use quite small lengths of scrap<br />

yarn. The hats weighed 51g (pink/white) and 67g (green).<br />

All yarns used are Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted Superwash, left over from<br />

my project in the Winter 2016 issue, Snowflakes and Evergreens Cardigan.<br />

The pattern used is a circular variation of the Woven Transverse<br />

Herringbone from A Treasure of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker.<br />
