Backwards C Lazy Days
Discover the perfect blend of creativity and community with the 2018 Wild West Knitting Retreat's featured knitting project, hosted by the wonderful Cherokee Park Ranch! This unique colorwork hat pattern, entitled "Backwards C, Lazy Days," draws inspiration from one of my favorite places in the world. At Cherokee Park Ranch, I formed incredible friendships that have stood the test of time, with many attendees making lifelong connections. The enchanting atmosphere of Cherokee Park Ranch, a historic stagecoach stop nestled between Fort Collins and Laramie, brings people together in a magical way.
The "Backwards C, Lazy Days" hat is expertly knit in the round using a provisional cast on technique, allowing for seamless stranded colorwork featuring long floats that create stunning visual effects. After completing the main body of the hat, we will carefully remove the provisional cast on to reveal earflaps crafted using short rows for a cozy fit. To add the final touch of elegance, the hat is finished off with a stylish i-cord edging that elevates its overall design!
This project not only enhances your knitting skills but also connects you with a vibrant community of fellow knitting enthusiasts. Whether you're an experienced knitter seeking a new challenge or a newcomer eager to explore the world of colorwork, "Backwards C, Lazy Days" offers an engaging experience for everyone. Join us in celebrating the art of knitting while creating a beautiful piece that embodies the spirit of friendship and adventure at Cherokee Park Ranch.
