Whorled spindle hat
So my friend Sarah Sipe and I have been designing hats inspired by spindle whorls. She designed one that was more broadly inspired, and it’s in today’s KnittySpin! Lots of spindles have circles, stripes, chevrons, or zigzags. This one has all of them and is a lot of fun to knit. I like that it’s top down. I like that the top is based on the pi shawl increases rather than the kind of increases I use. (I like them both, but they look very different.) I knit two samples for her; one is the commercial yarn hat that’s on the official page. The one above is knit in Mountain Meadow Wool Cody.
So much fun!
i like the version shown here, it looks more natural and hazy π
It’s nice to have examples in different yarns, I think.that way one can see the possibilities.
Thanks!
That’s true π thanks for sharing the different version for people to see.
It’s a nice pattern π
