It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Cosign Cap in Deluxe DK Tweed Superwash (pattern link).
Why cosign? Two reasons. 1, when I first saw this hat it was sideways, and the patterning looked like little cosine waves. 2, someone mentioned that they loved this pattern, and I immediately cosigned on that.
The pattern is written and charted, and contains a variation on cabling you might not have seen before – the right slipped cross and left slipped cross. You’re using a cable needle as with traditional cables, but instead of knitting both stitches, there’s a slip involved.
It creates an elongated stitch that slants left or right. Neat effect, and a useful tool to add to your cabling repertoire.
The crown keeps using slipped stitches without cabling, to continue the elongated stitches into the gathered top. A lovely finish to a charming topper, made even more charming by the little nubs in the Deluxe DK Tweed Superwash. Only one ball required.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, full of beauty and warmth.
Happy crafting!
