New Pattern: Charleston Hat & Scarf
Here's my latest pattern - it's actually several years old, and I'm so happy to finally be offering it for sale.
This hat & scarf set was named by my friend Judi, in tribute to its rather flapper-like appearance. It is knit out of Aran weight (heavy worsted) yarn with a recommended gauge of 4 sts per inch. The samples were knit in Karabella Supercashmere (the white version) and Reynolds Andean Alpaca Regal (the fuschia). It takes about 400 yarns for the set (approx. 120 yds for the hat and 280 yds for the scarf).
Techniques used include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, picking up stitches, cables, and reading cable charts. The cabled portion of the hat is knit flat in a long strip, and ends are joined to form a headband shape. Stitches are then picked up along one edge and top of hat is knit in the round.
This has been my favorite hat in the last few winters, and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
