ABSTRACT
This chapter’s project (see Section 4) is a hat in which
the body is knitted onto the side edge of the brim by
picking up stitches.
The mathematician will probably be satisfied to be as-
sured that a method exists for creating a new row of
knit stitches between two columns of stitches, so that
work can proceed in a perpendicular direction. How-
ever, the knitter wishes to know how to execute the
method. These instructions are given for right-handed
knitters; the left-handed knitter should refer to Chap-
ter 4 for help in translating the instructions.
