I tried to be fancy with my oslo hat. I didn’t have enough of a single color sock yarn to knit the hat, but i knew it was double brimmed, so part of it would be folded up. I thought that I could knit the portion that gets folded over (not seen) in a different color. However, it seems that I didn’t realize which side of the work would be the final RS.
The pattern has you knit for x inches, then connect the next row with the cast on row, then knit some rows, then turn the work and knit from the “WS”. This video shows the magic.
I split the portion that you knit before connecting the next row with the cast on row, in two colors. I knit the first half in my desired color, then the second half in my undesired/want to hide color.
Because we have to turn the work, it seems though that we are flipping from the other side - in other words, the undesired color will be the brim
Is there anything I could do to avoid the german short row in the pattern? What purpose does it serve before the decreases?
I already frogged this project once before so I’m trying to save myself the work of soaking, drying and winding the yarn and starting over again
