Can you believe it’s already August?! With the record breaking heat worldwide, a hat is the perfect knitting project, small, portable and and ready to wear once this heat breaks!
This month I selected the Labrador Retriever. Mine is chocolate (literally the color of the yarn I used) to honor a friend but yours can be any color you choose to honor your special friend, too!
This is another sport weight version. Because of the long floats necessary, I have included a second chart for those who prefer Ladder Back Jacquard and a video link to the technique for those who would like to learn the technique.
Enjoy!
