Hi L M, thank you for the explanation of the Celtic Knot stitch. I am already thinking of what to make with it, big smile.
yes, I also think that a few rows of knit stitches before and after the pattern would show it off better. maybe a few knit stitches as a side border would look good to.
I'll play around with this stitch on straight knitting needles for a comparison.

Hi Terry,

The Celtic Knot stitch is super easy. Now, whether or not it looks like a celtic knot, I'll have to take someone's word for it. It is super easy. 
Essentially, row 1 of the stitch pattern is all purl stitches. Row 2 of the pattern is alternating knit purl, knit purl. The third row of the pattern is all purls again. That's all! You want to set off the pattern with a few knit rows like 3 or 4. apparently this makes the pattern more prominent.

The ponytail hat is fun and apparently a trendy thing these days. Instead of gathering the top of a hat and closing it, you leave a hole big enough for a ponytail to be threaded through. thread stretchy cord around the opening so that there is some stretch for hair to go through. Because I color the ends of my hair pink and purple, it looks fun for my tail to come out of my hat!
