Free knitting projects using Kreinik Reflective Yarn
Designed by Lisa M. Barnes, LMB Designs
Oh the
weather outside is frightful, at least throughout most of the US, where a
cold front is keeping temperatures below freezing. What we all need is a
good, warm knitted hat. This one features Kreinik's Reflective Yarn,
making it visible at night when caught in car headlights or camera flash
(oh the paparazzi!).
The
designer, Lisa Barnes, had a little fun with placement of the reflective
accents. By day, this hat and matching wristers appear to be a harmless
fair isle pattern. But by night, glowing eyes appear, as if by magic!
Well, ok, it's the Reflective Yarn worked into the pattern, but how cool
is that twist-on-the-usual.
Have fun knitting these warm and cozy projects!
PATTERN NOTES
This hat
is worked in the round from the brim to the crown, using double-pointed
needles, two circular needles, or one long circular needle (for the
“magic loop” method). The reflective “eyes” are created using duplicate
stitch.
