*squints at chart from KnitPro* Since when does it go '1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 21, 23' or '3, 5, 7, 9, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 24'?

*mutters darkly and counts up the squares by hand*

The pattern is 36 x 48, not 34 x 60. You'd think I'd've noticed before... oh, well, not like I had started working on that part of the Socks or anything. So. Four size 0 needles, k10 rounds in Corrugated Rib, k1 round in main colour, and then divide stitches so that there are 24 stitches each on needles 1 and 2 and 22 sti-

wait.

*peers at stitch count*

92 + 4 = 96. All I have to do is add one extra stitch per needle and I can put the $&*(&) Seal on front and back.

Okay. yeah. I can do that.

So after this, do you plan to make a Mitten of Omega?

Well, try not to lose the Mitten in an antimatter dryer or something.

Also, perhaps this is more of a concern for felt berets (as most are, nowadays), but I seem to recall that they're actually made really big -- like the size of a pizza -- and then shrunk down as part of the manufacturing process.

Anyway, it's too bad that there are no other suitable knit items from Doctor Who, just socks and Dalek cozys and such. But perhaps you could find some gold velour yarn, and make a Captain Kirk sweater.
