my kvosin

This has been such a fun project...

What I loved;

Knitting an object that has interesting and new experiences to offer. The kvosin pattern fit the bill perfectly.  Each of the four sections offered a unique challenge including fair isle, cables, stockinette, garter stitch, joining and picking up stitches.

Crown full of cables

What I learned;
-Knitted kitchener stitch (grafting)

Via this youtube video by Kathleen of wipinsanity.

I really took to the knitted version of kitchener, it makes so much sense, after all it is knitting, why sew the piece together for petes sake?

-Bind-off by knitting two together thru the back loop. The brim is super stretchy. This hat is so soft, warm and light as a feather. Sweet!
