Basic Fair Isle Hat BASIC FAIR ISLE HAT This is a new pattern for my Basic Hats collection. The heart-shaped stitches of contrasting color make this hat look so joyful! They are accomplished with the use of the fair isle technique, which might seem a bit scary and complex from the first glance. But if you start learning it from something easy - like this hat - you’ll fall in love! Chunky yarn makes this knit really fast, and two-colored design gives endless possibilities for color combination. You can adjust the pattern to another yarn, change the size or length of the finished garment, add a pompom or skip this step (if someone can actually do that!). The pattern contains links to the video tutorial that makes the process more easy to understand.

Combine sts in a round, knitting the first and the last stitch together. 48sts left on the needles. Place the marker to show BOR. If you are using double pointed needles, divide sts on them evenly: 12sts on each. RIBBING R1: (k1, p1)x 24 times or until the BOR marker. R2-7: as R1. There will be a total of 7rnds of ribbing. The height of this part of the hat has to be approximately 2”/5cm. BODY OF A HAT R1: k all 48 sts along the next rnd on the same needles to make the ribbing more distinct.

  • This Tutorial Will Explain What a Balanced Plied Yarn Is, and H
    An HJS Studio Project: Knit Shetland Tote Bag This is another project inspired by the spinning group I belong to. They decided to make knitted totebags the group project in 2002 (see also Mitered Mitten Set, for my response to our 2004 project). One spinner provided photocopies of a pattern from a knitting magazine as a starting point. Some members of the group did exactly that bag, while others experi- mented in various ways. My bag is probably the farthest from the origi- nal pattern—they basically have just two things in common—they're handknit, and they're totebags! I hope to be able to get a photo of all the bags to put on the website at some point, but for now will have to settle for mine alone. This isn't an exact pattern, but rather a narra- tive of one process of creating an item of handspun yarn. Anyone who would like to can copy the process and come up with something similar, but I hope most readers will be inspired by the process to come up with something totally, uniquely their own. The first thing that comes to mind in dis- cussing something like this is I didn't follow the pattern. It was intarsia, I prefer fair isle; it had sections knitted back-and-forth, I prefer all circular knitting; etc. I just can't follow a pattern, no matter what! I've always been like that, even before I began to knit. A little of the 60s rebellion sunk in, though I wasn't quite yet a teen back then? Still, the pattern was inspirational.
