This pattern is not<\/strong> about the hat, it\u2019s about the technique!! A fabulous technique that has been used in machine knitting that I call Invisible Stranding<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Invisible Stranding allows you to carry yarn across any number of stitches<\/strong> without catching the floats. Catching floats creates a visible pucker in your knitting and often allows the other color to show through. Invisible Stranding eliminates both of these problems. The Good Hat\/Bad Hat photo<\/em> shows the difference!<\/p>\n

The Invisible Stranding technique is described in the pattern and demonstrated in a series of YouTube videos. I put my own spin on the technique and share my tips and tricks with you.<\/p>\n

The technique can be applied to other patterns, and the Invisible Stranding Guide (included with the pattern) describes how. In fact, I would be happy to help you determine if a particular pattern would benefit from this technique. Just send me a message.<\/p>\n
