The key to knit hats is the underlay. This is one of the cases where selecting
the underlay on an element by element basis just doesn't work. Any design that
I do for a knit hat starts with an overall underlay that is either the shape of
the design or a rectangle the size of the design. This underlay is usually
cris-crossed (around a 15 density) and in the same color of the hat. Sometimes
I even make it a solid fill. That provides a good platform for the design to
go on. You still need solvy on top but if you have the base as a fill the
solvy tears off nice and you don't have to get rid of it between the letters
and such.
Just my 2 cents.
Marty

Hi Roland,
I used a MT of 7, 1 layer of 3oz tearaway backing and 2 layers of solvy
on top.
Hope this helps
Russell
