Product Details

This pattern is written out, with no charts, knit in the round and is for the average adult-sized head.

I named this pattern after one of my most beloved tools - the tortillon. A simple pointed stump of rolled paper used to smudge charcoal, the tortillon is indispensable when drawing.

The halo of fine black over the brownish-gray yarn, reminded me of what a tortillon would do to a charcoal drawing that otherwise could look harsh. The changes in direction of the cabling brings out the shadowy effect of this beautiful yarn.

The yarn in the sample is Lana Grossa Chiara (discontinued). A suitable substitute is shown below.
