next saturday i’m teaching a class on my short-rows wavy hat pattern at twisted. and look, it works great in cotton! the class is listed as intermediate, but i think it’s a perfect project for an adventurous beginner – someone who is comfortable with knit and purl but doesn’t necessarily know anything else. i think most knitters who follow my blog would be fine to knit this pattern without a class, but if anyone has a friend who is just starting to get into knitting and needs some one-on-one help to understand provisional cast-on, short-rows, grafting, etc… it would be fantastic if you told them about the class!
this newest version that i just finished is three different recycled cottons from unraveled sweaters. it’s really slouchy and can be worn pulled down or pushed back, which i like better for summertime. i changed colors at the top of each wedge, leaving long ends hanging at the top, then braided all the ends together instead of picking up stitches around the top to close it. this meant less work finishing the top and zero ends to weave in!! if you hate finishing, this is the way to go!
