Learn how to do colorwork using double knitting with the Hilma hat design! This technique allows for long stretches between color changes without using stranded colorwork or intarsia techniques. Inspired by the iconic Marimekko Poppy by Hilma af Klint, this graphic floral hat is fully reversible and extra warm due to the double layers. In this class you will also learn how to create a provisional crochet cast on and how to create ribbed double decreases. Grab two colors of fingering weight yarn and join Cyndi for this truly class-worthy project!
