A Charity Hat NOT Made on the LK150

 I wanted to use up the last bit of the yarn I was gifted in the Secret Santa exchange at work.

It's a simple 1x1 rib. I don't remember how many I casted on. It's kind of child size.


Apparently I didn't weigh it. It took a couple attempts to get it long enough to use up most of the yarn. I started with 62gr and probably ended up with 10gr left. But I'm going to count all 62gr because the rest just went in the waste yarn pile for the LK150. 
For the decreases, I fudged the first row, so that all the following decrease rows (every other row until down to about 24, then every row) would have the knit stitch leaning to the right. I didn't worry about breaking the 1x1 rib when it would end up with two knit stitches.

Yarn In:  0gr
Yarn Out: 62gr + 1276gr = 1338gr
Balance:  1338gr more OUT than in
Costs:  $0
