Yesterday I showed you the Mr Bump and Little Miss Naughty jumpers that I designed for issue 79 of Knit Now magazine. Today I'm sharing the other pattern set I have in the
issue: my Scheurich hat and mitts set.
The set is directly inspired by the
onion motif used in Scheurich Keramik pottery. As soon as I saw the
pottery, which features highly textured smoothly curved lines that
look a little like the layers in an onion, I knew I had to replicate
the curves in knitting.
The hat and mitts are both knitted in
the round from the bottom up, starting with a 2 x 2 rib cuff and a
ribbed-cable panel that starts in the ribbing and continues along the
length of the item, on a stocking stitch base.
At the top of the hat, the cable
reduces in size, and continues right up into the crown. The mitts
have a plain thumb gusset that is worked at the same time as the rest
of the mitt, and the thumbs are finished with 2 x 2 ribbing.
Each item comes in three sizes, so you
should be able to find a size that fits you perfectly.
The set is knitted in Yarn Stories Fine Merino DK,* which comes in a variety of solid colours. If you fancied
making a really special version of the set, I would suggest using a
semi-solid such as The Yarn Collective Bloomsbury DK,* which would
emulate the glossy glaze in the pottery.
The Scheurich hat and mitts set is
available in issue 79 of Knit Now magazine, which is available in
shops now, or you can order a copy online.
