That’s gorgeous, Denice! Love it! 😀
I love the pattern. I do have a question though. Is it possible to give us a row count for each section? I can’t get Bernat Pop in my area and would be doing this another yarn.
Telling us how many rows for each section would make it easier to use this pattern.
Hi Bev,
To answer your question, there is no exact amount of rows for each section. Depending on what yarn you use (any worsted yarn can be used) will get your row amount based on the length of that color. You can even use solids and just do color changes.
I too am curious about the row count, as Bernat Pop isn’t available where I am either. Hope we hear back from you! It’s a lovely pattern, I can’t wait to try it out.
This only lists two colours ! Bernit Pop Ebony and Ivory…is that one yarn? It looks as if there are atleast three co.ours shown….vtkmac@gmail.com
Ok, answered my own question (!), which lead me back to the questions asked previously asked, about row counts. So I assume, you work a ‘section’, no matter the amount of rows, until a colour change is starting to appear, then switch which patterns. Is that correct, since the yarn is a ‘striped’ yarn that makes the most sense to me….lol ! Thanks for any input or verification. Peace and Happy Looming ! Kathleen MacLeod
KMacLeod, you are correct. The yarn is striped in color, each section is worked until you reach the end of that color in the yarn. Consequently, using the same type of yarn is necessary for the pattern, especially if you want it to look like the one pictured. Thank you.
Hello…how woukd one use different colored solids and know when to change without a row count?
I would like to make this pattern and do not have the hat loom called for and I don’t believe it is made anymore. I have the small gauge round set with a maximum of 80 pegs at 3/8″ gauge. Can I use this and just start decreasing back at peg 80? It seems possible to me
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use any other loom with a similar gauge.
