Oh. I am starting at the brim of the hat, knitting a tube, and tying it up when I am done. It's not a particularly tight stitch, so that will do.

Ay, there's the rub. I am not really good at double-points -- I am a big klutz and am always dropping/shoving/whatever them out of the work and losing stitches. So I bought a needle set with different size needles and cables, and that works for me.
