Early Bird Price (20%off) until end of the January, 2021.

I love bird watching and playing games like hide and seek, especially in nature. It takes patience and mindfulness to notice things around me, often hiding in plain sight. It is amazing how much one can do with a couple simple stitch techniques!
This pattern is about playing whimsically with lines of knit and purl stitches in two colours. With an increase here and a decrease there, the stripes change direction. A purl here, a knit there and all of a sudden you can see the silhouette of a bird in the corner of your eye. But look again and it disappears the very next moment!

This hat is knitted with two highly contrasting fingering or sport weight yarns. One of the yarns is used for the background, the other for the bird motive. Sometimes the bird stands out better if it is lighter and brighter than the background, but sometimes the darker colour is best for the bird.

This pattern comes in 4 sizes: S, M, L and XL, each one of them in a separate file in order to minimize the chances for confusion and mistakes.

If you would like to knit a matching pair of mittens, look for my Bluebird pattern.
