    I was VERY happy to pay for all the work Ysolda put into the pattern. The spreadsheet (or charts) that allows me to choose the yarn and gauge that I want to use and also calculates how long to make the hat based on the brim turn-up desired and weight of the skein (all without needing to swatch) is revolutionary to me. That she includes a low vision version is incredibly thoughtful.

    I am knitting my very first Musselburgh while watching this! I loved learning the cast on - I started as a crocheter and this is even neater than a crochet magic loop because the stitches in the loop are less bulky. I used to think hand knitting should be complicated: why spend all that time knitting something that looks like it came from a shop? But plain stockinette can be so relaxing and meditative, "plain" patterns are the best to show off beautiful yarn, and there's always value in spending time creating the stuff we wear instead of treating it like consumables. So I'm completely sold.

    Ysolda is brilliant. I was a beta tester for Ravelry so I’ve seen countless “it” patterns come and go and this one is worth the praise. I can tell this hat is going to be the only subzero friendly hat I will have knit in the 20 years I’ve been knitting and it’s showing off the luster of the yarn I’m using so beautifully.
    And as someone that’s been on Ravelry since the start- there’s no one more annoying to me than the “ugh I hate trendy patterns” people. Find real problems lol

    • @cloknits
      @cloknits  Рік тому +6

      I'm right there with you. As long as trendy patterns are fun to me and are something I'll use, I'll happily knit it. If it's trendy but not my style, I'll say: "good for them but I'll pass". There are so many patterns online, why hate on other people's hard work.

    I just finished my first Muselbourgh hat. We were flying from the west coast of the US to Europe. I wanted mindless knitting for planes, trains and relaxing after site seeing. I knit the crown increase prior to the trip. This was a dream to knit. I was con that 18.5 inches of stockinet would be mind numbingly boring. It was not. I almost made the mistake of making the crown too large. I looked at the photo and trusted the pattern. Thanks for the clear review.

  • @oldwitchknits-Ursula
    @oldwitchknits-Ursula Рік тому +33

    YES!! I felt the same way. Was wondering what was so special about this hat. Didn't look all that exciting to me (I only knit super plain stuff to start with because my style is very minimalistic). Started it to get rid of a very soft fingering yarn and to see what the fuss was. Took forever to finish as it was my "wait for the kids" car knit. I got excited towards the end and absolutely loved it the second I put it on. Out of my approximately 25 hats (yes, I have a hat problem) this is my absolute favourite! Partly it is the fabric and colour I got from the soft (with 10% cashmere) fingering yarn but it all comes together with the pattern. The double and quadruple layers are just so good! I am about half way with my next fingering 100% cashmere version and will make many more!

    • @cloknits

      I have had the pattern for a while now and have been meaning to get to it. Since I no longer have access to windows and excel I can’t use the calculator she set up for the pattern, but I have very good control in manipulating gauge so I will use the print and mobile versions to achieve my goals. I have started the first one now and using the size Adult Medium with a 3mm needle which gets me 7 stitches to the inch and loosely measures 18.28 inches from an overall stitch count of 128. My husband’s head is 20.25 inches around so I will see how it goes with the negative ease as it progresses

    I have made seven so far and I always make them the same way. I use self striping Felici yarn from Knitpicks. I knit half of the hat with several different Felici color ways so that each stripe color only appears once. So it looks like about 25 different colors of stripes. Then the second half is a solid color. I think this is the most special and amazing hat in the world because I make each one unique with different colorways or using them in a different order. People can wear the stripe side out or the solid side. I will definitely continue to make them!

      Needle designations seem to differ with the continental divides of the Atlantic and Pacific. I am using Addi 3mm designated US 2 🤔 And since Addi works by mm they have incentive to keep it on point. I did an actual swatch with both 2.75mm and 3mm and found that the stretch I get with the 3mm is better for my tension. I knit neither tight nor loose so it always has to do with the drape and stretch for me

      I mark all of my ‘double stitches’ with removable (safety pin) markers and I keep the ds marked even when I have knit it. My markers are colour coded so it makes it easy for me to pinpoint which is the new ds that has to be knitted together etc. The markers make it logistically easier to keep track. I use the Cocoknits markers. Any short row method is fiddly and it is prudent to keep track of all turns

Has a pattern, start at brim, work to crown, pick up & repeat. Then I purchased quite a few Carol A. Anderson (Cottage Creations) patterns, hat start at crown, knit a long tube, decrease. I’ve made several of these, different yarn weights, needles, etc.
    Fast forward, Ysolda !!! She truly is a gem, love her “why & how” explanations!
    I’ve been debating whether to get this hat pattern, as I’ve “mathed” all my previous iterations, BUT… I will probably get this pattern anyway, show of support!
    I prefer 9 - 12 inc/dec points on my hats, but I LOVE that Ysolda has the math “built in”. The last 3 hats I made, Helically knit using scraps!
    Check out Ysolda’s Garter St fingerless mitts pattern (Ravelry), very FUN !!
    Glad you like this style hat! Agree DPs / beginning can be fiddly, but … the end result is worth it!!

    Even though I've been knitting for quite some time, I truly still consider myself a true beginner. I can't really read patterns. I rely mostly on UA-cam video tutorials to make something. I purchased the Felix Pullover/Sweater by Amy Christoffers because everyone I have spoken to said that I should be able to do it. To my dismay, I could not understand the pattern. It is way too complicated for me. I have tried reading the pattern over and over again... but I am just not getting it. So, I guess I will not be knitting this hat. I love how yours came out. It is beautiful on you. I can only admire from the distance. Haha! Thank you for sharing.

      Interesting. Do you find that you get stuck at a certain point in the pattern or is it not obvious for you were to start?

    • @liziking306
      @liziking306 Рік тому +2

      @@cloknits - First, thank you for responding. I appreciate it. Anyway, if you have the pattern, I got stuck right after the designer talked about placing the markers. I have tried so hard to understand how the Wrap & Turn method is but, to this day, I still cannot comprehend it. I even watched different videos on it. I spoke with someone who said that I don't have to do the Wrap & Turn method but from reading the pattern, I don't know how to follow it. My $7 went down the drain. There is this one designer named Ashley Lillis. She has a UA-cam Channel. She made a video of making a raglan sweater. It's called Winter Bluff Sweater. She walks you through the entire process. I downloaded the pattern and watched the step-by-step video and to my surprise, I actually understood the pattern. Through this method, I was able to knit the sweater and I LOVE IT. Not all designers write their patterns the same way as others. I think that's the problem. At least for me, it is. Sorry for all the rambling here. Anyway, while I love your idea of making a video about reading patterns for beginners, but reading and seeing how the process is done are two different things for a visual person like me. I'll give you an example of what I mean. In dancing for example. If I was to read an instruction on how to dance a certain dance move, I probably wouldn't be able to follow it. But, if I'm able to watch someone do the steps, I most likely would be able to follow it. I hope this made sense. BUT, if you decide to make a video about reading patterns, I would watch it... but know that someone like me will probably still not get it. I hope you understand.
