Checking ravelry right now for an adult chicken hat pattern.@saysfaa
I’m legit curious. How would/do you adapt this picture to pattern and pattern to size?
Just by counting stitches, it would be a tiny chicken on an adult hat. And the problem I’m having is, how do you scale it? Like, without stretching the bottom, compressing the top, and distorting the chicken?
This seems like it could be an evolution in my knitting skills. I’m fine with following a pattern, but adapting my own?
Insights would be greatly appreciated.
I feel the same way. I also can't stand how acrylic will feel on my hands. I'd end up not wanting to wear even 50/50% blends, but up to 25% acrylic seems to be okay. I think the acrylic of the 60s/70s was higher quality.I don’t typically use acrylic yarn anymore. I find it gets fuzzy/ balled up even with careful care and no washing
Does superwash work for you? I know it is coated so it doesn't felt, maybe that would work.I’m allergic to sheep wool
