Assiduous
This is a hat & scarf set. The download contains both patterns.
This is an introductory reversible lace project. You can learn back and forth with the scarf, then learn in the round with the hat.
Techniques you already know:
- lace: yarn overs, right- and left-slanted decreases
- 1×1 ribbing; knit 1, purl 1
- Kitchener grafting (scarf, in the tubular bind-off)
- working in the round (hat)
Techniques you may be learning:
- double yarn-over
- reversible decreases in ribbing
- Italian cast-on (scarf)
- tubular bind-off (scarf)
- tubular cast-on in the round (hat)
Video tutorials are on my blog at jolieaelder.blogspot.com or on my YouTube channel Jolie knits.
The scarf lends itself to ad finitum knitting — work until you run out. The sample used exactly 2 skeins.
The adult hat (8 repeats of pattern) uses a little more than half a skein. You should be able to get a second smaller hat, or a couple baby hats, out of the remainder. Or consider making two hats using 7 repeats of pattern. Because reversible lace is ribbing based, the fabric stretches to accommodate a range of sizes.
Just for fun, I threw 72 size 8 Miyuki Delica beads in color opaque matte luster ivory in the baby hat.
This e-booklet file is half-sheet formatted with all the pages in normal order including the blank inside covers. If you have a smaller tablet or you read off your smart phone, you shouldn’t have to zoom as much. You can also print this size if you print on 5.5 x 8 inch paper — i.e. half-sheet. If you’d like a center-fold booklet, use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and choose the “booklet” option when you print.
If you attended the 25 February 2017 Atlanta Knitting Guild-sponsored showing of the Yarn documentary film, then you received a special printing of the scarf pattern in your goodie bag.
