more knifty knitter goodness

I wanted to make this hat even tho I live in Mississippi, and I doubt it'd be that cold to get any real wear out of it LOL but I also just wanted to see if I could make it on my knifty knitter..

















The scarf parts are 4 feet long.. I made it by starting with the scarf ends (using two strands of yarn so it's thicker.. you can probably only use one strand if it's a chunky yarn).. I made one 4 ft scarf using the first 13 pegs on the green knifty knitter. Then I left a long string and cut it. I then made a scarf on the last 13 pegs (so each side of the scarf is side by side. once each side is the same length I begin to just knit the middle 26 pegs for about 3 inches. I then knit around the whole knifty knitter for 3 full rows.. I make a tiny brim for just the front section of the hat. Then continue knitting the hat like normal. knit for about 7.5 inches. finish the hat like normal and make a pom pom and attach it to the top of the hat! :) voila! It took me 3 evenings to make this.. about maybe 8-10 hrs total I guess... but I was also distracted by watching tv.. so it's probably a little less.. It was super easy to make.. and I think it came out pretty well.
