Halus

• Product description

  This one-of-a-kind cap features exaggerated texture and playful use of negative space, with plump chains rising to the crown between ladders of easy lace. The knitting begins with a tubular cast-on and a band of single rib; chains are worked by dropping stitches and hooking them back up in clusters. Quick and so much fun to knit from a single skein of Quarry, Halus is an ideal last-minute gift—and you may find you can’t stop at one.

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Main Fabric)

  • One 16″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
  • Suggested Size: 5½ mm (US 9)

  
  

  Size B (for Ribbing)

  • One 16″ circular needle*, one size smaller than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)

  
  

  Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

  • One 16″ circular needle*, two sizes smaller than Size B
  • Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

  
  

  *32″ circular needle can be used instead of 16″ circular and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round.

  Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
