Leafy hat pattern

I made this pattern right after I figured out how to make leafy lace. I thought that maybe the tips of the leaves could make a nice top for a hat. It is a very fast pattern to make, and it is simple enough for those who are first learning to make lacy projects.

Worked in Lion brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick on 5 double pointed size 13 needles.

Cast on 56 stitches and distribute equally.

K1 P1 for 8 rounds.

Place marker at beginning if the row. yo = yarn over

R1: yo, K1, yo, P1 K4 ♥(the ♥ means slip 2 as if to knit together, K1 pass slipped 2 over) K4 P1

R2: K3, P1, K9, P1 repeat to end

R3: K1, yo, K1, yo, K1, P1, K3,♥, K3, P1 repeat to end

R4: K5, P1, K7, P1 repeat to end

Sew through stitches and pull in the top of the hat. Sew in ends.

My Lumps

This is the evolution of the bump pattern seen previously. I took it and applied it to what I thought would be a cowl, but it ended up being a really strange and silly hat. Here are some shots of me rocking this plantlike look.

Pattern coming soon.

Egg crate blend

This is my new swatch, it is a bumpy texture which gets smaller towards the top. There will soon be a hat and scarf pattern which use this motif.

Blended Experiments

Gradual change of color, gradual change of scale.

Color Theory Cowl Pattern

This pattern is great for using up a few odd skeins leftover from a big project. For an advanced knitter it is a weekend project, and for a beginner, it is a simple introduction to increasing and decreasing.

 

The Color Theory Cowl was knit with 2 contrasting skeins of Noro Kureyon in shades 102 and 172 I recommend using a self striping yarn they make the pattern more interesting and inspired the name "color theory cowl."

Gauge on size 10 needles - 15 stitches and 23 rows in a 4" x 4" square. Gauge is not terribly important for this pattern.

Finished garment is 12" tall and 28" in diameter

Using your favorite provisional cast on method, cast on 60 stitches

Row 1: knit to end
Row 2: k2tog k3 p52 k2 inc1 k1

Repeat these two rows while alternating colors every four rows.

When you reach the diameter that you want (I continued until I ran out of yarn) connect the two ends using the kitchener stitch as shown below.

When you finish, put your pictures on Ravelry
