This was my first attempt at lace knitting and dropping stitches. I was worried about my cast on not being loose enough, so I found and used Eunny’s "lace cast on". I also used a different bind off, but I don’t recall which one right now. The pattern was very simple – knit knit knit…
Learning to double-knit. Used two strands of different multi-colors. Cast on with two strands held together and then started double-knitting. Bound off with two strands on the wrong side to have the same effect on the border. Improved decreases by rearranging stitches as in cable-needle-free cables. Added eyelet row similarly – the ribbon is threaded…
120 german twisted CO. 2 3/4” ribbing. 8 1/2” total before crown decreases.
Finished, December 8, redid the head between Christmas and New Years. Made this slightly bigger because Jon’s head was bigger than some peoples. Adjusted the stripes to be larger instead of repeaty. Can’t wait to see how it fits! This pattern was really easy, and definitely what’s I’d recommend for a basic hat. Full changes…
First try at toe-up socks, so far, I’ve just finished the short rows (wrap & turn) for the toe. I’m still deciding if I’ll add a pattern with some lace or not. Update, 7/9. I’m working on this sock really slowly. It’s what I carry with me when I want something to knit out out…
