Project Workshop | Sherkin Hat and Mitts
Regular price
€15.00
Learn to knit a deeply textured cable accessory set with our Sherkin Hat and Mitts workshop.
This is a hat of two parts. One side has a steepled staghorn cable, and the other has a gently undulating wave pattern. The mitts echo the wave section of the hat, picking up the textured stitch pattern that's worked from a mistake rib.
This workshop has full directions for both patterns, with multiple sizing options. All recordings are in English with closed captions and have dedicated support and chat threads.
Join us as we take on cables with decreases, the magic loop technique, and creating thumb gussets that fit like a dream.
This pattern was designed as part of the Celtic Knits Club 2024.
