Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, my apologies!!
I am trying to put together a pulli koram pattern for a brim on a hat - I had a chart that I was going to use but it’s way too angular and doesn’t really feel right to me but I have the brim portion knit and ready for duplicate stitches so I need to rework my chart in those parameters.
I do a double stockinette brim (provisional cast on, sts for 30~ rounds, join with third needle - currently 108 stitches around on US5 circ needles) so the back of the work is hidden - I feel like I could even have this pattern chart worked over all 30 stitches … but I’ve had trouble finding any charts and the ones that I’ve tried to create with sites/apps just haven’t really worked out. I normally hand draw my charts on graph paper …. Below is the chart I was originally going to use and below that is an example of what I’m trying to accomplish… I know anything round in a chart can be a pain haha. Any suggestions or help… I’ve been crunching stitch count numbers so much that my brain wants to give up now.
These are beautiful, graceful designs. A 9stitch repeat will work out nicely in 108sts (9x12). Would you consider doubling the chart rows as mirror images across a horizontal line?
Knitting is going to be angular even at a high stitch and row gauge. What about embroidering the design? You would have more flexibility and more rounded sections.
Yes, exactly! I think I may have worked it out!! I used a more basic corner but I think it will work out - It will be folded in the middle so the “teardrops” will be on both sides… But I think my math is right… this is 23 high, so I just need to make sure to center it perfectlybut I think it will end up really pretty - I could even expand the center square a few rows for that folded part to make up some of the difference. Thoughts? haha… Shoot… I’m one stitch off on my width with a 2 stitch margin… going to have to make the center one stitch wider which is going to drive me crazy
You lost me at the word hat. The designs are lovely.
I don’t understand how the brim goes or how the stitch count works so I can’t offer any suggestions I’m afraid. But I’ll cheer you on from the side lines.
