Tillie (Peace Fleece Ukrainian Red)
Pattern: Matilda & Tillie
Yarn: Peace Fleece Ukrainian Red
This is the "plain" brim version of Tillie (instead of the rolled stockinette hem, this has a slip-stitch hem), and I’ve made the crown about an inch shallower. After watching Gosford Park again earlier this week, I wanted to make a version more like Mary Maceachrans.
It’s a badly lit photo of a color notoriously difficult to photograph, but I didn’t want to forget to do an in-progress shot; I know that some knitters have felt really dubious about the pattern at this point. I intend to take more in-progress photos to show how it goes from this weird frisbee with warped strip to a lovely little cloche.
You can see the way the brim fabric biases away from the slip-stitch hem in this shot.
My Etsy shop is currently offering a Matilda & Tillie DIY Knit Kit with PDF download, professionally printed hardcopy, and skein of Peace Fleece Ukrainian Red for sale.
