Here's the Fern Pattern swatch I mentioned earlier; the double decreases on each side cause a very strong curve to the stitch pattern, which is in fact why I chose to use it. I decided it would give an interesting and flattering shape to the garment: used along the sides, it will create a curved hem, front and back.
Not that you can see it very well in the photo above, but hopefully the shape will become more obvious after a little more knitting.
Sorry, no Italian today; la prossima volta!
The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
