Wish MKAL - Day Three!

7/5/2016

Sadly day three is another boring one, however it is the opportunity for you to work on getting your wee knot stitches just right!
My best tip for them is after each little step to the 'make knot' stitch, pull your needle to loosen your tension a bit...that way it is easier to switch forward or back to the knit/purl, and it also makes the wee petals of the knot stitch look more pronounced.

Don't forget to knit this up, then head over to instagram and post your progress.
Tag me (@pekapekapatterns) so I can see, and add the KAL tag to your text (#wishMKAL), that way all wishMKAL projects will show up together in a search
Picture
Repeat the detail rows from yesterday until your work measures between 9cm and 10cm from the edge of the brim (the foldover mark).
(My knitting today was 10 rows...I imagine yours will be a fairly similar number)

A reminder:
Detail Row 1 (RS): k1, (k3, make knot*) repeat stitches within ( ) 9 times, k3
Detail Row 2 (WS): purl all stitches
Detail Row 3 (RS): knit all stitches
Detail Row 4 (WS): purl all stitches
Detail Row 5 (RS): k4, (k3, make knot*) repeat stitches within ( ) 8 times, k6
Detail Row 6 (WS): purl all stitches
Detail Row 7 (RS): knit all stitches
Detail Row 8 (WS): purl all stitches
Finish having just worked a Detail Row 2 or Detail Row 6

Any guesses as to what we are knitting yet? ;)
