Long floats? No worries. This cute snowflake hat pattern shows you a different way to handle them.
Instructions are included for 2 sizes, along with a detailed photo tutorial for securing the long floats with a hooking/unhooking technique.
A few notes about this method:
- I’ve seen the technique referred to as a “Jacquard” method, as laddering, and as hooking/unhooking.
- It requires that you play with it a bit. Some testers carried the floats too loosely at first, some too tightly, and it’s a very subjective thing to know when it’s just right. Like many things in crafting, it takes a bit of practice.
- If you prefer, you can always skip the technique, and just twist the long floats with the working yarn--if you go this route, I recommend that you make the hat to have a bit of positive ease on the wear-ers head to avoid having bits of the twisted CC show through as it stretches.
- Either way, it’s a cute hat & quick project that’s fun to wear, and you can try out a new technique that you may find very useful in your stranded colorwork.
The pattern also includes a guide for how to play with gauge to get just the perfect-sized hat. The snowflake pattern is charted, and the instructions also include details for success in colorwork in general.
