Notes

More of a masculine pattern and colorblock for hat #2.

I started with TECHknitter’s preferred circular cast on : disappearing loop cast on, it was much harder to get an OK tension during the cast on than the Ocker one.

Increases: made a stitch from the running yarn between the stitches on the needle (M1L defined here). Looks like I should have used a different M1 for left and right leaning stitches, I’ll refresh that technique before doing this again. It looks OK, but I can tell the asymmetry.

Rib: 1x1
Bind Off: JSSBO
Weaving in ends: using the rib method from the PurlBee tutorial. Love it, best rib woven ends yet.
