Hi! Absolutely. I actually do a lot of hats on my 260 as well as my Midgauge. The biggest thing is just getting your gauge to match. E.g., the yarn I use (Brown Sheep Nature Spun) is at 6 1/3 Tension on the main bed and ribber bed on my midguage, and when I use my bulky, I use a tension of 2 1/3. Find whatever tension will give you the right gauge, and you can knit up a ribbed hat the same way. I still cast on 90 sts for an adult regular sized hat and knit about 86 rows. I just adjust the tension on the dials to get the gauge exactly right.
Hi could I do this on a brother 260
