Wait, your a woman and you can't crochet?

Hopefully you have excellent cooking skills or else you won't be getting a husband...

Here is one that my brother (ReedSkis~$) made
we might start selling some soon if you guys like 'em. wouldn't be able to take that many orders
though, don't have much time so we might just make a bunch and sell whatever we decide to make

to all who like em loose and floppy.
im working on a flop hat now.
this is a hat for under my helmet.
therefore it needs to be kinda tight so it doesnt bunch up

 i do mittens all the time and i usually do like a ring the size of my wrist then do singles all the way up until its like a long wristband. so you get to the thumb and thats when you take one of the stiches and make a chain that goes around your thumb and connects back to the main piece. from there its a breeze, you just keep single stiching, and when u wanna start closing it up you skip stiches.

3 links to 8 single stiches, then go 32 double stiches then you go 4 singles 1 double till you get the width you want which is going to be a smidge bigger then when you make your hands go into a circle if that makes sence then just single stick all the way down

alright, so you just do everything like normal except make it longer (which makes it sag?)

yup use a loose stick so it can fall down, make the last two rows of your hat super tight so its snug on ya
