stocking stitch is when you knit on the front (right) side and purl on the back (wrong) side so that you get the nice, flat knit in the front and the inside out sweater look in the back.

and be sure to remember that the hat does NOT have to be perfect...Jayne's hat from his mother had stray ends of yarn sticking out...
plus in intermitten scenes it has stray bits of straw sticking out too (LOL)
Just have fun with it and don't expect perfection
(at least mine is full of errors and everyone always admires it anyway)

Embers is right.
My problem is that I've made so many that I've gotten really good at it and I have to try to make it NOT look perfect. It's kind of hard. But it's fun!
And you're welcome!

Oh believe me, I'm far from expecting it to be perfect. I knew that as soon as I got the yarn colors picked out. The yellow is the only color that matches from Jayne's.
But thats fine by me.
Oh, and CMS..if I would have known you made your own hats, I would have paid you to make this for me lol

I made mine on a knitting loom. This was my first attempt. Too many orange rows, but it was still fun. 
My second try was a child's size and it turned out great.
Sorry, I don't have a loom small enough for the action figure :(
If you ever though knitting with needles was cool, but too hard. Try a loom. Even I can use them!
