Blue Hat with a [k3, p1] ribbing

One more hat that is knit in the same way as the ones I knitted this summer. This time I used a blue yarn from Marks & Kattens and a twined knitting cast-on.
Rather a quick knit and uncomplicated.

Twin Rib Socks


Sock knitting has continued. This is a pair of socks with a Twin Rib cuff. The blue yarn in the heel and the toe is 4-ply Strikkegarn from Rauma. Very strong and 100% wool.
For those of you that want to knit the Twin Rib, this is the chart for knitting it in the round.

Revlingar

Revlingar, an old form of knitted wrist-warmers worn by fishermen of old on the Swedish West-coast. They have a special shape and are very functional. I have never seen an old pair of revlingar. I have read about them and seen pictures and descriptions of recently knitted ones. They all have this shape.
These are knitted in garter stitch. I guess you could use any other stitch pattern that you prefer. They are excellent projects for learning how to knit, and also nice gifts.
I used a thin 2-ply yarn from Filtmakeriet and needles 2,50 mm. They are 12 cm wide (I casted on 32 stitches) and 38 cm long, not including the decrease part that is 5 cm. When I had three stitches left after decreasing, I knitted a 55 cm long i-cord. You could make a braid or make a crochet chain instead if that is what you prefer. Just make it long enough to wrap around your wrist a couple of times. One pair of this size used about 85 grams of yarn.
