new techniques: raglan construction, lace edging

im at the feet, but since the legs were picked up from the bottom of the body ill have to reverse the direction of the feet. i think i also want to have socks and removable shoes, so i wont be doing the mary jane shoe strap. heres my instructions for the legs/feet in magic loop:
- pick up 16 st from the body, knit leg
- knit center front 6 st for 10 rows stockinette (no switching colors)
- knit across 11th row, pick up 11 st from left side of strip, knit across back 8 st, pick up 11 from other side of strip
- rearrange everything so there are 17 st on each side of the magic loop, with one loop at the toe and the other at the heel
- knit half a round so that bor is now at the heel loop (i dont think this was really necessary, you can switch the order of 6 and 8 and start at the toe)
- k3, ssk x6, k4, k2tog x6, k3
- knit
- k2, ssk x4, k2, k2tog x4, k2
- knit
- draw up rem stitches

- sc a strip to that fits between the ears, preferably slightly shorter than the length of this gap
- ch enough to go around one ear, remember how many chains that is
- sc across one end of the strip
- ch enough to go around other ear (should be the same number as the last chain)
- sc across other end of strip
- sc around, going under the chains when you get there
- sc around, inc 3 times in the short ends of the oval
- sc around
- sc around, in the short ends of the oval (inc 1 sc) 3 times
- sc around
- repeat 8 and 9, stopping before it reaches the eyes when put on
- sc around in front loop only. in the future might want to start brim increases here
- divide the sts at this point into 8 even parts, sc around, inc 1 in each part
- repeat 13 to width of brim, make sure to stagger incs to avoid corners
clovers and flowers are from this pattern, i changed the sc to slip stitch, and for the flowers added an extra repeat
