Dreamswatch Headwrap Progress and a Crappy Tutorial

This is the dream swatch head wrap from knit and tonic the free pattern is available at the site, and there's a link on the sidebar to the right.







Slip 6 stitches, purlwise





Insert left needle into the bottom three stitches





Slip these bottom 3 stitches over the top three and onto the left needle






Now transfer the top three stitches over to the left needle, as well. You'll now purl them in the order they appear. This seems a little odd at first, because you're picking up yarn three stitches down to knit the first stitch with, but you get used to it. Purl them in the order they appear, as crossed, on your needle. Occasionally you'll purl two of them in the wrong order, but this doesn't really matter, the effect is essentially the same. Again, sorry for the slightly blurry pics, hard to take photos of myself knitting, but hopefully you can see enough.





On the needle in crossed order.





First three stitches purled.





First six stitches, purled in reverse order. Now you just repeat. Slip the next six stitches, cross, purl-- the weird thing with the yarn not being where it normally would be isn't an issue after the first set of crosses.




crosses, some look sloppier than others.





Alchemy bamboo in Early Fall. The colors weren't quite what I thought they'd be from the WEBS site, but they're still lovely.

Hope this helps a bit! It's a really easy and fun pattern once you wrap (pun intended) your head around it. Wendy rocks!
