#kihnubraid

It's a dreary day here. Grey and wet with the guarantee of it continuing all day! So here is a pop of colour to lighten the day! Garland - hat knit with @malabrigoyarn #worsted merino. Soooo soft and the bright colours just made me smile. Great for a day like today! The colourwork pattern is an Estonian Garland pattern so I added some kihnu braids. #colourworkknitting #estoniancolourwork #kihnubraid #hatknittersofinstagram #hatknitting #hatdesigner #letissierdesigns #knittingwithwool #merinowool #knittingwithcolour #knittersofinstagram #designersofinstagram (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbnJE1YrZcG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Making an Estonian Kihnu Island Braid - needs two colours - knit in the round - working with @malabrigoyarn #worsted Round 1 - set-up - knit one round alternating between the two colours Round 2 - bring both yarns forward between the needles and working with both yarns forward purl the first stitch with the opposite colour to the stitch, bringing the second colour from underneath the first colour purl the next stitch --- continue purling each stitch with the opposite colour and ALWAYS bringing the colour yarn to be used next from underneath the previous colour. #kihnubraid #colourworkknitting #colourandtexture #knittingwithwool #hatknittersofinstagram #hatknitting #knittingembellishments #colourworkknitting #letissierdesigns #knittersofinstagram #designersofinstagram #designer #newhatdesign (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbknmUYLrYk/?utm_medium=tumblr
