Lifelines Hat
What do you see? What do you know? One sign, what do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if it hurts? What then? What do we do? What do you say?
Don’t throw your lifelines away
(Magne Furuholmen, Lifelines)
Many thanks to my tech editor Michelle Hazell and my test knitters pjkaylor and iowaknitter. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
Lifelines Hat features a pretty cable on a purl background that reminded me of a lifeline. It is easy to work, you’ll know the pattern by heart in no time and even if you have to put your work down frequently because life has other plans than you knitting comfortably, you will always see where you left off. Still there is always something going on with the pattern to keep you engaged. Best of all worlds, isn’t it?
Lifeline Hat comes in 4 sizes from toddler to adult. It is worked from the bottom up in rounds.
I have designed this hat because it looks great in the super pretty, crazy colorful yarns that are so hard to find patterns for when miles and miles of stockinette just drive you crazy.
