Hat Attempt...
Ok, I'm thinking of starting the hat in the hopes that it will give me some confidence for the sweater. I have some Jaeger Shetland Aran in stash and plan to use that since that was already used successfully by someone else. I have a few questions on the symbols. There is the twisted knit stitch and I'm assuming the similar one with the line underneath is the twisted purl. The ribbing I do for the number of rows specified in the parenthesis to the right of the hat graph?? The x's and o's I think I can figure out although I may have some questions as to changing them for working in the round. Then there is the flying fish symbol. I know it has been explained here already and I will look through to see if I can figure out how to do it in the round. Any tips?
Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Lisah, If you go to the arhives for January and scroll to the Working Travelling Twisted Stitches post there should be all of the information you need to figure out the different sts and how to work them. Basically if there is a travelling st with the line under it the st moving behind is purled, if there isn't one then the st moving behind is knitted. This is actually more important than you might think, so be sure to work them as they occur, even if it doesn't make sense.
You shouldn't have any problem working the charts in the round, just work every row from right to left and each stitch as you come to it. You shouldn't have to change a thing.
Have fun!
