| Ripple Lattice Hat |
All right! So it's officially time to post my first hat, which I've named the "Ripple Lattice Hat" since it's both ripple-y and lattice-y. Genius, I know. Specs, recipe, and more pics below! Oh, and quick note - if I use any terms or symbols that aren't familiar to you, please go to the Glossary!
Yarn: SMC Riana Color (50% New Wool, 45% Acrylic, 5% Viscose; 131 yards [120 meters]/50 grams); #5843 - don't know the color name, might be discontinued, but I only used one skein!!!
Needles: One 16" circular needle in size 9, one set of double pointed needles (dpn), also in size 9
Notions: Marker, tapestry needle, cable needle (cn) or extra dpn for cabling

Hi, this hat looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering, for the R2 decrease, when I slip the next three knit stitches, are they the last three, which then become the first three stitches knitted in R3? Also, do I have to move the stitch marker? I'm making this hat for a friend and want to ensure I'm comprehending the directions clearly :)
Thank-you!
Hi Sarah!
DeleteI'm glad you like the pattern - it's been awhile since I looked at this one and I forgot how much I've changed my notational habits since I wrote it!!! :) Anyway, yes, you should remove the marker before you slip those three stitches, and they go from being the first three stitches of row 2 to the last three of row 3. I'll clarify the instructions to show this. Oh, and please let me know if you have any more questions!!!
