Stries
“A blank canvas to play with colors and texture, Stries is a warm and colorful cloud with a striking effect. A statement piece on a minimalist outfit.
Yarn structure and properties often inspire me to match constructions or enhance texture. For example, fluffy silk mohair and merino singles bring softness and squishiness, while a more rustic yarn gives structure to the hat and stitch pattern. I wanted this pattern to be a playground for knitters to dare and experiment with unusual mixes.”
Stries is a textured ribbed hat made of columns of twisted stitches and purl stitches. You begin by using 3 strands of 3 different yarns for the folded brim, then switch to 2 strands of 2 different yarns for the rest of the hat. It is a simple and easy-to-knit hat.
