So many of my designs lately have a flower motif. This kick started a while back when I notice I had so many greens in my yarn collection I decides to use them for leaves. That’s how I came up with the design I called In the Weeds.
In the Weeds has 9 color changes for a busy colorwork project. I recently had a comment on Ravelry about this hat and they called it “controlled chaos” which I took as a great complement because that was the effect I was going for!
Excuse my rambling about an old project. This post is really about a new project called Blyn. (Named after the town Blyn, Washington. I was camping there when I was knitting this hat.) Blyn came about because I decide to use something other than green for the leaves. Why be so literal, right? I started using a color called Bittersweet Heather from Knit Picks and it gave me the effect I wanted–dark leaves.
Here is the Free Pattern for Blyn. Enjoy!

Thank you, I fell in love with this pattern the minute I saw it. I’ve ordered the yarn from Knit Picks and plan to start as soon as the yarn arrives. Another fun hat! (I find I really love knitting colorwork hats.)

I’m getting confused with the decreases. I assume I should be slipping 2 then passing 2 stitches over the knitted one. However, when I do this it seems to be knocking the pattern out.

Just found an explanation , which explains that on first decrease in row 52, you use the last stitch of row 51 as one of the slipped stitches, so all sorted out now.

Knitted this when I was on holiday in February. I thought it looked a bit like thistles, so used a soft lavender colour for the flower part. A lovely pattern, easy to follow and cosy and comfortable to wear.

Is there a video on how to do the decrease’s?
