Area under the curve

When I first took calculus, I learned that a curve can be represented by a series of thin rectangles aligned side by side, each with varying heights, visually capturing the area beneath the curve. Similarly, in knitting colourwork, we create beautiful patterns by stacking columns of knit stitches to form these thin rectangles. When combined, these rectangles come together to create stunning designs such as curves, circles, or even delightful big bunny ears!

This knitting pattern is designed for a stranded colourwork hat, which is worked in the round and from the bottom up. It’s perfect for knitters of all skill levels, making it an excellent addition to your project repertoire! The pattern not only includes step-by-step instructions but also features the innovative Ladderback/Invisible Jacquard technique.
