Child (Adult)

Done on the Bulky Knitting Machine, TD4 for rib, TD6 for hat in tuck

Cast on 60 (74) stitches

Knit 12 rows and reform to rib of your choice, I did a 2x1 rib for less reforming.  You can use your ribber for this part but when done, transfer the stitches over to the knitter and drop ribber down

Set card in reader, knit across in Stockinet to set drums for the Singer type machines

Set card in reader, knit across in Stockinet for the Brother type machines, set knob to KC and knit back to set up stitches for tuck

For the Singer type machines, you can start right in with the tuck stitch after setting up drums

Knit 50 (55) rows of tuck

Knit 1 row of Stockinet

Transfer Every Other Stitch over to the next needle for a decrease in half

Knit 3 rows

Gather bind off, fold material in half and running stitch the back seam

Now place a plate inside the hat upside down

Then a bowl to hold the rib up

Steam the top and bottom of the hat but also make sure to do the outer part of the hat to set it as the beret style

This is the tuck stitch I used in the green hat above

Here is the same hat done with the #2 card that would normally make the Bubble Stitch Hat

This is the #2 Card for the Singer Bulky machines for the above beret

Here is one I made on the KH585, doing EON one row, then the opposite EON the next row, same as the #1 cards for most punch card machines.  I doubled up the stitches and rows pretty much for this beret
