My newest pattern is especially for gecko lovers, but also for anyone who loves a touch of whimsey. I am so delighted with this design! The 4 little critters are worked in stranded knitting technique in super-soft Malabrigo Rios.
I’ve included 3 sizes in the pattern so you can knit a unique gift for both adults and kids. I’ve charted the pattern separately for each size so it is easy to follow. This is really a fun one to knit. It does involve trapping floats on the back, and in the pattern I give you a link to a video I made for you to show how easily that is done – a technique worth knowing!
If salamanders are more your thing, then a simple change in color is all you need with this hat! There are so many amazing colors to choose from in Malabrigo Rios.
Working out an elegant crown is one of the most creative challenges of hat design. It must incorporate the required decreases and still make sense with the overall design. For this hat design I especially love how I connected the 4 little critters at the top of the crown by their tails. I added one braid to the top – as if I braided their tails together! Of course the braid is optional, what kind of topper would you add to this hat?
