Stop Motion- Writing a Knitting Pattern- Writing and Editing the Waffle Weave Hat Pattern

http://Midnightskyfibers.com
Watch a snapshot of the editing process for writing a hat pattern. Several hours of writing, editing, and photoshopping to create a knitting pattern (and that doesn't even include the time it takes to design the pattern, spin the yarn, calculate the pattern, or knit the sample!)

The Waffle Weave Hat Pattern is available at http://MidnightskyFibers.com or

About the hat pattern:
Simple waffle weave stitch creates a textured hat that fits closely to the head without stretching out and shows off handspun yarn nicely. The four row pattern is easy to memorize, and the hat uses just 75 yards of yarn. The decreasing at the top of the hat is designed to maintain the waffle weave stich patter for as long as posisble without distorting the purl bump rows.

Finished Size:
Baby- 6 inches high, stretches from 12-16 inches around.

Level:
Intermediate- Need to know how to decrease and work on double pointed needles.

Materials:
-75 yards of Midnightsky Fibers Handspun or a light worsted weight yarn
-Size 5/3.75mm double pointed needles
-Tapestry needle to weave in ends

Gauge:
5 stitches/inch in waffle weave pattern.

Notes:
You can substitute a dk or light worsted weight yarn for the handspun. You can use self-striping, hand dyed, or solid- the more solid colored the yarn is, the more the waffle weave pattern will show up.
