Persian Dreams Worsted
This is for all you who fell in love with Persian Dreams but found yourself short on time to knit it in fingering weight yarn. We have the perfect solution for you!
Believe it or not, this stunning knitting project is not reserved for experts only. Persian Dreams is composed of a set of beautifully crafted, individually worked hexagons, each knitted in the round from the center outwards. The most challenging aspect of this design is starting the hexagon with a seamless circular cast-on, but once you get the hang of it, the rest will flow smoothly. The colorwork is always presented on the right side, making it significantly easier to follow the pattern compared to traditional back-and-forth knitting methods. Each hexagon is small and portable, allowing you to conveniently carry your project wherever you go. Once you complete several (or all) hexagons, you can commence grafting them together, or use any seam technique you prefer. Many knitters have successfully learned stranded colorwork while working on the original Persian Dreams in fingering weight yarn. This new version in worsted weight yarn is significantly quicker to complete and offers improved visibility of the intricate designs.
If you desire your Persian Dreams Worsted to closely resemble the original piece, simply utilize the first six hexagon patterns and rearrange them to match the stunning photos. I've incorporated two new hexagon designs, while also adjusting the overall layout of the hexagons for a fresh take.
In several of the accompanying photos, you’ll find the Worsted version styled next to the original Persian Dreams, allowing you to make a striking comparison. You’ll easily spot the Worsted version—it’s the whiter one! Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting your creative journey, this pattern is a delightful way to enjoy the beauty of the Persian Dreams series while working with a more manageable yarn weight.
