I finished this hat about a month ago, and wrote a quick post promising the pattern, once I had finished a variation using SSKs instead of k2togs. I worked on said variation over the weekend, and when I started the crown decreases this morning, I anticipated a half-hour or so of following the directions I had written out for the first one. Well, as the husband likes to say, nothing is easy; I soon
realized that the SSKs form a much more dominant spiral pattern than the k2togs, and would thus require a different sequence of decreases. That half-hour stretched throughout most of this afternoon, but I did end up with something that pleases me. Modeled photos and pattern to follow!
Oh, I (ahem) almost forgot: another hat pattern of mine will be available in the June issue of MagKnits (soon, very soon!). I would have bragged about it earlier, but I only just found out today. :-)
The Chinese Lace Pullover is a perfect spring-into-summer project, as shown in cotton (or try a cotton/wool or cotton/linen blend). Lace borders on cuffs and lower hem flow into wide, figure-flattering ribs on the sleeves and body. Directions given for working flat OR in the round. See more patterns
