Designer’s description: Lava Lamp is a two-color, sideways knit striped hat in garter stitch with short-row details. The wavy stripes reminded me of the undulating color formations of a lava lamp. Choose some bright psychedelic colors for a playful hat, or go a little more subdued with a neutral pairing. Skills used are e-wrap knit, purl, short rows, crochet cast on or optional provisional cast on, seaming or Kitchener graft. Loom: 3/8 inch small gauge loom with at least 37 pegs flat knit.
