I finished the color work on Tuesday night. I have been following Arne and Carlos’s schedule which has been kind of nice to take this slowly although every cell in my body wanted to keep knitting on it. I spread the color work over 14 days as a very intentional daily meditation. I have a friend who is going through a lot of stuff and those two weeks were the toughest (hopefully) so it felt as if - even though she didn’t know it - we went through it together. It was I way I could connect and I am really glad I did it.
This morning I got started on the crown and made it to the double points in no time flat. This baby will be done and dusted (actually steamed) by tomorrow.

I hope I’m doing this right! Not to savvy on this site. I have enjoyed knitting the Setesdal hat. I used KnitPicks Gloss yarn. Plume, Harvest, River Rock, Clarity and Velveteen colors. Happy I was able to finish!
Beautiful colors!
That’s a great hat! It’s so interesting how the look completely changes when using just 2 colors for the color work. I was going to knit another and you’ve inspired me to do my next one in 2 colors! Thanks for posting the pic.

Thanks ! I have a brown cabled jacket that I knit years ago and think the hat will look good with it. We get a few cold days each year! Although this year we had way more cold than normal. I really like this yarn too and I will probably make more fingerless mittens. I wear those yearlong at work.
Thank you! I already had them in my stash yarn , and am trying to use up before buying more yarn . I’m running out of space to store more! I got on a hat kick at Christmas and think I may continue throughout the year . I have lots of people to knit for ! But this one is mine .
Here is my Setesdal scarf at its midpoint.
The scarf is 28” long at present and 8” wide, smaller than the hat in circumference. The cuffs have the bulk of the hat pattern, followed by six 3” stripes in red and white. The midpoint uses the remainder the pattern on a blue stripe with white design. The rest of the scarf will match the first half. I plan to incorporate the extra rows I mistakenly added in the pink and blue design, but fix anything else.
