Checkerhatch Dickey

$5.00 USD Sale Save
This very practical accessory was born while playing with vertical and horizontal lines. Due to the nature of brioche columns, vertical lines form and combine with horizontal lines constructed with stockinette stitch by alternating colors. These vertical and horizontal lines are placed in a checkered pattern at the center front of the accessory.

Checkerhatch is worked flat, starting from the bottom front body and working toward to the back. Colors alternate in each row. For the neck, stitches are bound off in front, then are cast on for the back.

A turtleneck is worked in the round with 2 color brioche stitch, picking up stitches along the neck hole. Brioche ribbing is worked on each edge and an I-cord edge is added for more polished look.
