Opal – knitting pattern

$10.00

Opal is named for the gentle air bender in Season 2 of the Avatar. With this Hat, the short rows create soft, swirly clouds which push and pull the air currents.

Featuring short row colourwork, each of the Elemental Hats is knit sideways and grafted. This pattern is available individually, or as part of the Elemental collection eBook.

 

Hat Description

Opal is a sideways knit comfort slouch in garter stitch. It uses short row colourwork to create an impression of air, which is represented by a motif of 3 parallel gently waving lines. The motif is continued around the Hat, one in each of the panels or wedges that make up the Hat.
