A tutorial on how to dye a long gradient in yarn will be up soon.
This is a great hat (hipster gnomes, gotta love that)! I am currently making it for my four year old on smaller needles and with ear flaps and I-cord. The color gradient is fantastic; I have some recycled wool sitting around waiting for a project like that. Happy to have found your site, will be following you in bloglovin.

what does M1 stand for?
ReplyDeletemaybe my brain isnt working properly today but I can't think of what M would stand for. if that is increase wouldn't you just have 88 stitches afterwards? sorry for the silly question.
M1 means increase one however you feel most comfortable doing so.
