An aMAZEing Dice Hat or Two

Pattern: aMAZEing Dice Hat by Wyvern Knits - Yarn: Rowan Wool Cotton in SH957 Lavish lot14N4 and SH961 Moonstone lot11C5 - Needles: US 3 for brim and US 4 for body

  I saw this pattern when she was letting people test it as a cowl.  I missed out on that one but sent her a message when she said she was looking for people to test knit it as a hat.  I told her that I was willing to test any size and it seems the smallest size was the least popular.

  When I went to roll my first set of charts I rolled a 2 - 3 - 6 - 3 - 2.  That meant that two 2s would be next to each other.  I could have just changed it to a 1 or 4, so I figured I'd give it another roll and if I got one of those I would change it.  I rolled another 2, so I did what the Universe wanted.

  I had so much fun knitting the test that I cast on another one right after I finished, but since I don't need to follow the instructions to actually test the pattern and get the correct amount of yarn used, I'm going to do something a bit different.  She has the last row of the chart not add any slipped stitches because the random nature wouldn't let her anticipate what you might have had before on the new chart unless she had six versions of each chart.  Since I have a feel for the pattern, I'm going to add some slipped stitches to connect the charts.  I also didn't like how loose the double wrapped stitches looked on mine, so I'm just going to slip them without giving them the extra yarn.

  When I was adding the extra slip stitches on row 12, I rolled the D6 again and doubled the number, so I would get a row with wrap stitches.  I still slipped any stitches I was supposed to from row 10 and ignored the slip symbol on the bonus row I rolled.  I checked the stitch I was supposed to wrap with the row 2 of the new chart to make sure they wouldn't overlap.  If I rolled a 6, then I didn't add any wraps to the row.  A 5 would get a reroll or pick whichever on you want because then you would be trying to slip the stitches for a total of 4 rows instead of 2.

  While I doubt that I would want to exactly repeat any of these hats I make, it would be interesting to see how many combinations I get.  There will be even more combinations to make now that I've started joining the charts.  I'm also curious what it would look like worked from the top down.
