We're taking our Puget Sound LYS Tour knitting pattern’s inspiration from last year’s summer reading. The Multidimensional Gargoyle is a minor but beloved character in the Hell’s Library series by Seattle author A.J. Hackwith - it guards the hallway outside the Unwritten Wing and, paradoxically, provides reassuring order and solidity in its persistent non-Euclidian existence. The varying gauges and staggered blocks in this beanie’s mosaic stitch pattern create a sturdy hat that hopefully won’t give you a headache as it introduces you to mosaic knitting - but will serve you faithfully for years to come.
