Stargate Universe Fair Isle Hat designed by Carol Schoenfelder
Since the second season of Stargate Universe is about to start, I thought it would be nice to work up a Fair Isle hat with a current best guess (courtesy the Stargate Wiki) as to the gate address for Destiny. The hat also has the word Destiny in Alteran (inspired by Joseph Mallozzi's weblog entry of Aug 28, 2010 and also the Stargate Wiki). (The Libra and Centaurus glyphs are inspired by those in SGU: “Air". The other glyphs are inspired by those in SG1: “Prisoners".)
Directions:
Begin underside of band:
With main color, cast on 128 sts onto each of two needles (a main size 3 needle and a spare size 4 needle)- using a provisional cast on. Join to knit in the round. Place marker at beginning of round. Using a size 3 needle, knit 10 rounds. (128 sts per round) Purl 1 round.
Begin outside of band:
Attach CC. \* p2 in CC, k2 in MC, repeat from \* to end - for 10 rounds (or untilthe outside of the band is the same length as the underside). Finish band: Switch to a size 4 needle. Using MC only, knit together 1 st from main needle with 1 st from spare needle. (128sts) Knit 1 round in MC. Start patterns: Work pattern A (4 rounds by 4 sts). Knit 2 rounds in MC.
Work pattern B (5 rounds by 8 sts). Knit 2 rounds in MC. Work pattern A again. Knit 2 rounds in MC. Work 9-chevron address for Destiny - plus the word Destiny in Alteran (8 rounds by 128 sts):
Knit 1 round in MC. Then: [k3, k2tog, k11 ] 8 times in MC (120 sts) Work pattern C (6 rounds by 8 sts) Knit 1 round in MC. Then: [k3, k2tog, k10 ] 8 times in MC (112 sts, a multiple of 16)
Work pattern D (7 times around), noting the ssk's and k2tog's in Mc. Finish the hat by cutting the yarn and drawing the loose end through the 7 loops at the top OR by working slip 1, then repeat [slip 1, pass slipped st over ]to end.
Weave in ends. Enjoy
