#sirimiri slouchy hat

[professorpski]

Interweave Knits, Fall 2022

 This issues includes 2 cardigans, one of which is the beefy, belted one on the cover called Susurrous Cardigan by Olya Mikesh in Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted. This is a wool yarn and this cardigan uses six colors of yarn and is a 3 out of 4 for difficult.

There are 4 pullover sweaters and my favorite is the Ramulose Pullover by Nadya Stallings. It has both vertical ribs and horizontal stripes, but I think skipping the latter makes more sense unless you really like a boxy look. Then if you left the color change at the raglan shoulders and at the sides, you would be repeating the vertical lines of the ribbing and still get some color play. It is a 3 out of 4 for difficult. It is done in Green Mountain Spinnery Sylvan Spirit which is a wool and Tencel blend.  

3 hats including the color-work Peiskos Tam by Tonia Lyons which is also on the cover in the small photo on the left. This tam features 8 colors in Harrisville Designs Shetland yarns especially oranges and greens. This is a 3 out of 4 for difficulty but there is a nice big chart of the pattern included. The other interesting hat is the Sirimiri Slouchy Hat by Danieli Nii which has elongated stitches created by wrapping the yarn around the needle multiple times. It is a 3 out of 4 for difficulty. It is done in dark blue and paler blue using The Fibre Co. Road to China Light and Cirro. Both are blends so you get a real mix of fibers from alpaca, camel and cashmere to wool and silk.  

There are also 2 sock patterns, an article on The Fiber Mill in Stromsburg, NE which processes wool fiber from around the United States  and a technical article by Kyle Kunnecke on steeking, or cutting, a knitted sweater in order to finish the opening with buttonholes or a zipper, plus the usual columns on yarns and products.
