Description

Making Waves!
I named this pattern Oscilla as the rhythmic slipstitch repeat is like a slow wave or oscillation as you work the stitches along each round. This is an easy to follow pattern, using only one yarn at a time. Slipstitch (also known as Mosaic Knitting) is when you only work certain stitches on each row or round, then with your second color, work the slipped stitches on the following round. This create a fairisle look without having to worry about tension issues, while still creating a warm and lofty piece. This is suitable for any advanced beginner and up, involving knits, purls and slip stitches with K2tog and Central Double Decreases (explained in pattern) in the hat.

In these kits we’ve played with the design by pairing contrasting gradients, then breaking the paired gradients into broad stripes. If you prefer to pick your own colors you can find the stand-alone pattern here. Designed by Tina Whitmore
