Fandom knit! Harley Quin Hat and Scarf

[jamjar]

Not quite as nifty as the shadow knitting Batman Beyond scarf I made, but not bad.

Made using domino knitting, silk/wool blend on japanese size 5 needles (3.6 mm). Domino squares are pretty easy to make, really, just a s-2tog-psso decrease in the middle on every other row, garter stitch and slip the first stitch of each row and purl the last for a nice edge stitch.

So CO25, s1, k10, s-2tog-psso, k10, p1
R2: s1, k21,p1
R3: sl, k9, s-2tog-psso, k9, p1
and so on.

More detailed instructions available on request, but the end result looks like this, modelled by the lovely girl_starfish

From the front:






The hat fits, but really would be better on someone with more hair. It's not getting stretched at all, and there's a lot of give in it, and it's a little loose at the back.

Also, a random non-fannish knit, hat and wrist warmers, which were all a doddle to make. Like, the wrist warmers took less than a day each, the hat, less than a week. Instructions available on request.

Eee! These *rule*. The wrist-warmers, especially, are awesome.

Thanks! Um, do you want them? Not the wrist warmers, since they've been given away (though honestly, I could make you up a pair in a couple of days, they're that quick), but the hat is too big for me, and I have way, way too many scarves already.

Eeee! Really? I'd *love* them. The colors are fantastic, and my hair REQUIRES stretchy hats. (And I could totally use wrist-warmers, she said, *feeling* the amount of typing she's done over the last few days...)

No problem! I like knitting, but there's only so much stuff one person needs, you know?

I'd like instructions for the wrist warmers, they're rather neat. :-)

Just doing this from memory.

The wrist warmers are so easy. All measurements are average, since you can futz around with the length and everything.

I used a silk/wool mix that's about 110M for 40g.

CO 42 in CC. Knit 6 rows garter. Switch to MC.
Knit 1 row, then switch to K3, P3 ribbing, for about 8 rows (exact length doesn't matter). Then switch to k2, p2 ribbing for about 20 rows (up until your wrist).

This gives it a bit more of a gauntlet feel, having thicker ribbing at the end. You can make this bit longer or shorter as you like.

Knit stockingette for about 4 rows (until the base of the thumb).

(RS) knit to the marker, slip marker, M1, knit to the marker, M1, slip marker, knit to the end.
(ws) p to marker, slip marker, knit to marker, slip marker, p to end.

Repeat 5 more times, ending with 14 stitches between the marker, then (RS), knit to marker, bind off 14, knit to end.

Knit 6 rows stockingette (to the beginning of your knuckles), then switch to CC
(from RS) knit 6 rows garter. BO.

Sew up the sides.

this could also be knitted in the round.
