I mention the audio VeryPink Knits Podcast, which can be found here.
Regarding the ribbon I used…I ordered the exact same ribbon I used in this video (I needed more) and waited MONTHS for the ribbon to arrive. It never arrived. The company was JMK Ribbon and Trims, terrible customer service. That said, this ribbon appears to be a good match, 7/8″ width.

The KFB increase is an easy increase to work, and my personal favorite. This alternative way of working the stitch leaves you with a smoother fabric, minus the “purl bump”.

A regular KFB is worked this way.

This cast-on is great for the brim of hats, and can be easily substituted in if the hat pattern calls for a regular 2×2 rib.
You can see my 1×1 Tubular Cast-On video here.
Instructions for working this cast-on:
1. Using a provisional cast-on and scrap yarn, cast-on HALF of the total number of stitches you need.
2. Starting at the slip knot end with a knit row, knit 4 rows of stockinette stitch (knit a row. purl a row).
3. Remove the provisional cast-on and slip those stitches on to another needle, line up those needles.
4. Knit 2 knit stitches from the front needle, 2 purls from the back needle, repeat those Ks and Ps across all of the stitches.
5. If you are joining in-the-round, this is the time to join in-the-round.
The yarn I used for demonstration is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
The needles I use for demonstration are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo DPNs.
