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.
Can someone help me find the right yarn?

She means did you start from the top of the hat (the middle) or the bottom (the edges).

Sorry to have confused you Melinda ,, i like to start hats in the middle , on dps cast on 4 stiches , slide to other end of needle and k all 4 from the first cast on stich , now take a dp , k1 make 1 into 1st st. k1 make 1 , [4st go on 1st dp, take another [2nd] dp , k1 make 1 [2 st on this dp] , and k1 make 1 on
3rd dp. from now on knit one round and knit 1 make 1 on same stich every 2nd round till you have enough stitches for circumference of head ,,,,, now knit as long as you need prefereably in k1 p1 , but you can do it k2 p2 ,,,,, untill work is long enough cast off in ribbing pattern with a needle at least 2 mm bigger than knitting needle .. mirjam
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.
