How it started
And then this happened
Followed by a couple more. They’re addictive!
This all started because I wanted a little red one for the neighbors, like my Stopover Korknisse above. I may knit a couple more today while procrastinating about wrapping presents. If you want to knit some too, here’s a quick set of instructions. The original pattern is in Norwegian by Manne, and is only available via Wayback Machine/Internet Archive. I’ve adapted it for champagne corks.
I used Malabrigo Worsted for most of these (Stopover is in Lopi). US 5 needle, worked in the round.
Sweater: CO 18 sts
2 rnds k1p1 rib.
1 rnd stockinette
2 rnds 1×1 colorwork
BO round in neckline color
Hat: CO 16 sts
2 rnds ribbing, 3 rnds stockinette, then decreases every other row; 3 per decrease rnd. If you work the first dec rnd as K2tog, k2, k2tog; (k3, k2tog)2x, that will make your following dec rnds simpler. You’ll knit one fewer st before the dec on each dec rnd, until you have 3 sts remaining.

Here’s a crew of korknisse from 2014. I’ll catch up with my current Kona post…soon!
