Sleepless and confused in San Marcos

[purliecurlieewe]

I recently purchased the book Knit One Below and have been practicing this tecnique. I have made a scarf using the column stitch and had no problem. I am know trying to make one of the hats and am very confused with the directions. Has anyone else read or tried to knit the Hat With Garter Brim? I am very confused about the instructions especially the double increase. I thought I was doing it correctly...but when I knit the next round the color scheme is not correct....Does anyone know what I am talking about. I am not clueless about knitting...have been doing this for years...wondering if it my continuous "Senior Moment" condition or progressive brain deterioration I got from my mother-in-law. Help a fella needle mover out! Help!!

I don't have the book, though it looks intriguing. I did find this, but I'm not sure it's what you need.

Maybe if you tell us the direction that you're having trouble with, we can help.
