Hi Ravelers!

Here’s an update to An Apple A Day In DK.

This version simplifies some instructions and incorporates more industry-standard terminology and is still available as a free Ravelry download.

The gauge has been revised to 21 sts per inch, which makes the circumference slightly larger.

This pattern is a basic baby/child hat knitted in the round, with a bit of i-cord for the stem and an attached leaf.

It knits up quickly and uses approximately 85 - 150 yards of red for the apple, a scrap of brown for the stem, and a a scrap of green for the leaf.

Suggested yarn fiber is superwash wool or acrylic for ease of care when laundering.

16” circular needles and 5 DPNs in US 6 - 4.0 mm were used when designing this pattern. It can be knit completely on DPNs.
