Winter Skies
Winter Skies is part of the Winter Series E-Book.
This a charted pattern with minimal written instructions. Charts are coloured to keep the reading easier.
This is the simplest of the pattern in the E-Book. It works a simpler repeating pattern of travelling stitches accented with a large cable. The Crown shaping is charted into the movement of the stitches themselves.
Bavarian Travelling Stitches – a method of moving stitches across a background to create simple to complex patterns. Each movement involves crossing stitches; knits over knits or knits over purls, sometimes the stitch underneath will change status from either a purl to knit or a knit to a purl. All of the knit stitches are worked through the back of the loop to twist and tighten the stitch. This is necessary to create the tight, well defined patterns.
There are three different methods of working the crossing stitches; all are explained and 2 do not require a cable hook.
Winter Skies is a true Toque styled Hat.
