[Knitting] Marvellous Mardi Gras Entrelac Hat, Finished!
 |
| Marvellous Mardi Gras Entrelac Hat, Complete! And modelled by my lovely assistant, Joe. The bullseye-like centre point of the hat wasn't the way I was originally going to go, but I had some extra space because of some overstretched stitches when I tried to modify the pattern to give the crown a little more volume, so I simply wove the contrasting colour around the loose stitches to close up the gap. |

Project notes for this project (mostly repeated on the Ravelry Project Page, but you're welcome to go there if you want and check out all for photos together, etc.):
I’m obviously still fascinated with entrelac! I’m modifying the hat a bit to make it a little more floppy, mostly by making it taller before I start the decreases.
Particularly for this project, but for entrelac projects in general, learning to knit backwards was a big help! Especially when I got into the very small decrease squares, I found that not having to turn the by-then-slightly-heavy hat every three stitches or so really sped up the knitting process.
(As an aside, now that I can knit backwards, perhaps I can more efficiently teach left-handed people who want to have the working needle in their left hands!)

Can't wait to see it in person (and probably make one for myself!)
