Hi Ho Helix!

Helix Hat and Cowl, three-color

Hi Ho Helix is a study in helix knitting, which is a way to knit single row stripes in the round without a jog. Your stripes may be different colors, or garter stitch (knit and purl), or different dye lots you’re trying to blend. Both the hat and cowl are knit from the bottom up. I designed this set as a quick start class project.

The set is knit with 2 or 3 colors of worsted weight yarn. I used leftover Malabrigo Rios from previous knitting projects.
