The Last Rose of Summer -- An Eyelet Stitch Hat |
I couldn't end this project without including at least one eyelet stitch. As has been my practice, this is a very easy eyelet that shouldn't give you much trouble. Be sure to knit the row before you begin your YO's very loosely so you'll have enough give to be able to easily move your stitch to the next peg.
[Special thanks to my lovely dolly model, Cynthia (who seems to have claimed this hat as her own). Couldn't ask for a more beautiful and patient photographic subject... except for the day she kept sliding off the table and kicking certain hats to the floor... but that day was definitely the exception, not the rule.]
Good luck and good looming!

To make the Rose and Leaves: Follow the directions given in this video
Scarlet Royal's Rose and Leaf Tutorial
Actually, I did change a few things from the above directions. The rose I made exactly following her instructions was too big, so I made a second one using just one strand of #4 size yarn instead of two strands. Also, I flat knitted instead of e-wrapping. This makes for a smaller flower.
