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.

You have some biggg lips, girl.
ha i hate my lips :P
*adds to own memories*
I'll have to try to attempt this when I have more time.
my scarf was zigzagged and the hat was just a normal beany.
how cool that we match!!
And you are the cutest, ever.
ooh! I pink and black would be really cute :)
(holla for that ms. i'm from south alabama!)
i dont really understand your directions. do you know of a tutorial anywhere? or could you maybe explain it a little more in detail to me? all i know how to make with the knifty knitters is just going around and around....
first you need to learn how to make a scarf on a knifty knitter.. just e-wrap like you would to make a hat, but only wrap the number of pegs you want to be the width of the scarf.. then e-wrap back to the first peg... then pull the loops over the pegs that are wrapped twice.. continue.
and also how to make a brim... there's tutorials on the basics here:

I'd highly suggest getting the $1 book that they sell for knifty knitter, b/c that's how I learned this and it has clear directions with pictures on how to do all of these things.. I've only had my knifty knitter for like 2 weeks, so i'm in no way an expert.. but that little $1 book answers pretty much all the questions i've seen on here about doing things on the knifty knitter...
anyhoo.. once you learn how to do flat pieces and how to make a brim.. then my directions should be easy.
Kudos!
