The Zig Zag Along Hat is a pattern intended to teach the basics of colorwork. Happily, it doubles as a swatch for the Zig Zag Along Pullover.

This pattern is a free website exclusive, so you can download it only here at AimeeSherMakes.com!

If this is your first time working with colorwork, I recommend you use only 1 contrast color to avoid having to work 3 colors at once. Additionally, you’ll learn how to work colorwork while trapping floats in one of two ways (your choice).

The Zig Zag Along Pullover is coming on August 26.

Pattern Details

Yarn Selection

Use a worsted weight yarn that has bloom to create a cohesive fabric in colorwork. We used Gilliatt by De Rerum Natura (270 yards / 250 meters / 100g / 100% French and Portuguese merino woolen spun yarn).

Yardage

MC (Main Color):

1ball of Gilliatt in the colorway Sel OR 120 (170, 210) yards / 110 (150, 190) meters of worsted weight yarn.

CC (Contrast Colors)

1 ball each of Gilliatt in the colorway Argile (CC 1), Dore (CC 2), and Caramel (CC 3).

OR 15 (20, 20) yards or meters of each colorway.

If working 1 CC instead of 3, use 40 (55, 70) yards / 35 (50, 65) meters for CC.

Notions

Unique marker for beginning of round, waste yarn, spare needle for tubular cast on (optional), tapestry needle, optional pom pom.

Gauge & Needles

Gauge

19 sts and 27 rnds = 4 x 4” / 10 x 10 cm knit in the round with Needle A in Stockinette Stitch and Needle B in colorwork chart.

Needles

A (Main Fabric): US 6 / 4 mm circular needles in 16” / 40 cm, and DPN’s or method to work small circumferences.

B (Colorwork): US 7 / 4.5 mm circular needles in 16” / 40 cm.

Colorwork gauge is variable depending on the person. On the sample, we used one size up from Needle A to match the Stockinette gauge. Swatch the colorwork to find out what needle size you require to get the same gauge.
