Product Details

This hat is named after our German Oma's village of Lichtenberg. It was such a small village, it didn't even have a bar! We used to spend our summers at our Oma's house, and this is where we were able to indulge in our crafty endeavours. Our Oma was a master tailor and prolific sock-knitter, so we had lots of her scrap fabric and yarn with which to play. The stranded knitting colourwork pattern mimics the look of stockinette stitch, a pattern that, to me, is quintessentially German.

**Notions:**Tapestry needle Stitch markers

**Gauge:**25 sts and 20 rows in stitch pattern = 4” / 10cm

**Stitches Used:**K: knit P: purl s2kp2: slip 2 stitches, knit 1, pass 2 stitches over (centred double decrease)

**Tip:**Use stitch markers to mark the pattern repeats.

Keep your floats from getting too tight by pausing to space out the stitches on the right needle every 10 stitches or so.

For CC to be dominant, hold the strand of CC yarn to the left and under the strand of MC yarn.
