untonugganSlip Stitch Slouchy Hat Pattern
close up of slip-stitch pattern done in green and blue
Honestly I wrote it down because I invent lots of hat patterns, and often for people who don't need a 20" hat (because all the stores sell 20" hats!) and some people I know want to knit some of those hats and I figured I should just share the instructions and maybe not just give them a page full of scribbles and arrows.
So yes! It is pretty now and has both charted and written instructions, and I tried to make them as easy to read with brain fog etc as possible. And also printer-friendly so you wouldn't get weird line breaks halfway through a pattern repeat and accidentally leave off that bit of the pattern, and also underlining important things like "add a stitch here."
FWIW I really whole-heartedly endorse Uptown Worsted (an Acrylic). Usually I cannot deal with acrylic and am a huge wool snob, but this stuff is amazing and soft and sells for under $6 a ball at my LYS.
Hope you enjoy. Feel free to share, it's under a Creative Commons Share-Alike Attribution license because honestly I'd be chuffed if someone felt like selling some of these on their Etsy shop or whatnot and chucking a few dollars towards Doctors Without Borders.

I've been super enjoying my garter stitch rug at the moment and wanting to knit more things, but, well, with uni next week I'mma be doing a lot more very basic easy-travel autopilot projects, I think. *snerk*

Date: 2016-02-22 01:56 pm (UTC)Yeah this is fairly easy technique-wise but there is counting to do. I mean every other row is "just do what you did before" which is nice, but definitely I had to fudge/fix a bit when I was trying to watch TV and did not pay adequate attention. Or when I was all "oh I don't need stitch markers." Yes, self, those are always helpful.
(i tried to make the chart and the written instructions super easy to follow visually though. hopefully I succeeded!)
yay for garter stitch rug knitting! my cardigan atm is basically lots of stockinette in gorgeous squishy merino and handspun merino/silk blend so uh. It's amazing and I'm savoring it. :D
