I started this little guy on August 29 and finished it on September 9. So why did it take more than 2 months to post about it? Because I was too lazy to type up the 2 page pattern. Anyhoo. Here it …

This fun-to knit, multi-sized rectangle can be worked in two yarn weights (fingering or DK/light worsted) and five sizes for a cozy extra layer on chilly days. Natural yarn colors enhance the fabric texture and play well with a variety of clothing; richly-dyed colorways will dramatize the openwork and geometry. This easy-to-work project speeds right along, making for a great beginner or travel piece. Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and drape.

I still need a name - a good name for this new hat. My initial thought - is it looks like some kind of Russian tapestry - and God only knows where I got that idea from! I don't even know what Russian tapestry even looks like - or if it even exists! So I may need Russian name for it. There is a hemmed trim that you can't see and a 2-colored cable for the brim. The rest of the hat is a fun Fair Isle print - using sock yarn. I'm blocking it, then will finish the crowning with a 3-point finishing which should be fun and easy. I'm thinking of finishing it in a 3-needle bind off in the green - maybe even adding mini tassels or I-cords to each tip. I'm excited to finish it and get it on a model. I can never tell if it's the look that I'm going for until I have it photographed on a model!

This Snail Free Knitting Pattern is great for using up all those scraps. It is great for beginners who can knit, purl, increase and decrease.

Approx. 170 yards per 50 gram skein Sport Weight. 100% Pure Virgin Wool NEEDLE: 3-5 GAUGE: 6 st. per inch. After falling in love with our WATERshed line, we developed a lighter, sport weight version for versatility. flyWHEEL was engineered to have the same breathable resilience as WATERshed, but creates a finer fabric with a more relaxed feel. This medium-spun yarn is light, sturdy, and extremely wearable. It is delicate enough for intricate lace scarves yet durable enough for a favorite cozy sweater. In addition to this new line, we have created FOUR new super-tweedy colors available in both WATERshed and flyWHEEL. As you may know, our WATERshed yarn colors were inspired by the beautiful elements situated along the waterway running right through our village. flyWHEEL was created to also help support Harrisville’s hydropower project that is currently underway. A portion of the proceeds for each skein sold will go towards restoring the hydropower installation, so that we can produce clean energy from that very same waterway. The water that flows through our mill is the reason Harrisville was established. We hope you will consider being a part of this effort and our history!
