Description
Paradigm Shift Hat – Lisa K Ross is a strikingly stunning colour work hat. This is what Lisa K. Ross has to say about the hat – “When it comes to colorwork, it’s no secret that bold, graphic designs are always my favorite. The charts become predictable once you get going, making for faster knitting that is especially entertaining. It reminds me of the old dot matrix printers that screeched out one line at a time to slowly form the big picture. The series of yarn ‘dots’ might not make sense at first, but as you work your way line-by-line, the graphic image emerges. By cleverly working decreases within the colorwork, the image shifts and changes, creating a crown that is anything but ordinary. The lines you thought you knew evolve into a round floral starburst to complete your very own Paradigm Shift.”

Crafty Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag!
