Ruckle - and a Giveaway

The Fall 2011 Knitcircus Magazine is now live, full of beautiful designs including my Ruckle hat.




Ruckle is a soft, scrunchy hat with folds or puckers knit into the body. Cast on provisionally, it features a clean, turned-hem brim, ruckled main body with alternating tucks around the circumference, and a 10 section spiral decrease crown.
For a closer look at the Tuck technique, you can watch my video tutorial.


To celebrate, I'm having a giveaway with 3 prizes, courtesy of Knitcircus! I will be giving away two Pattern Collections - which include patterns for every design in the Fall 2011 Knitcircus - and a grand prize of one Subscription (one year/five issues of Knitcircus).

Just leave a comment to this post before 12:00 midnight Eastern US standard time on August 31, 2011. Comments will be numbered in the order in which they appear, and a Random Number Generator will determine the three winners.
I'll announce the winners here on September 1, so please check back then.

Meanwhile, we can all think about what to knit first!

    I saw that hat in KnitCircus and really loved it! I had no idea that a fellow Ravenclaw designed it. So awesome!

    Beautiful hat, and congratulations on being published in KnitCircus! That purple yarn is incredibly vibrant and I love the way the decreases in the crown are highlighted by the pleating.

    Lovely!
