How to Block a Knitted Tam
- 1). Wet the hat thoroughly using room temperature water. Gently squeeze out any excess.
- 2). Place the dinner plate inside the hat, positioning the plate equidistance from the edges of the ribbing.
- 3). Thread the darning needle with yarn and thread through every knit stitch at the edge of the ribbing.
- 4). Pull the waste yarn up tightly to stretch the hat over the dinner plate. Place the hat on a colorfast, dry towel. Let the hat dry for at least 24 hours until the hat is completely dry and the shape of the hat set.
- 5). Clip the waste yarn and gently pull it out of the stitches. Remove the plate from the hat.
