Design
This design evokes memories from my youth, vacationing in the mountains with family. We would sit around the campfire on cool fall evenings, beneath a starry sky. The intertwined cables travel up into the air like smoke and flame from the crackling fire. The eyelet lace represents the tops of pines that stand tall and proud in the forest. This pattern is charted and includes written instructions.
CONSTRUCTION
Campfire Stories is worked in the round with twisted cables and bands of simple lace. A stretchy German twisted longtail cast-on is utilized, allowing this hat to fit a wide range of head sizes.
