Knitting Pattern

[EHyde she/her]

(yes, the thread title is a pun)

 

After reading WoR, I decided to take Shallan's new chapter symbol (Pattern) and chart it into a knitting pattern, because I like doing fandom-inspired knitting projects and because a circular symbol with six-sided rotational symmetry is just asking to be put on a hat (and then I'll be a symbolhead!).

 

 

(this repeats six times, knit in the round, like pieces of a pie -- the point at the top is the center of the symbol)

 

I am in the process of test-knitting this now, I'm hoping to have it finished before I go to Brandon's signing on the 21st.

Cool! post a pic when you finish it!

That's awesome! Definitely post a pic. Have you done any other Brandon Sanderson knits? I was thinking of trying to chart the bridge four symbol, but I haven't gotten past thinking about it.

I will definitely post a picture when it's done!

I have not done any Sanderson knitting before this, though I've seen a few other people do so -- someone made a scarf with the allomantic symbols and someone else did a couple of glyphs from WoK as a cabling pattern, which looked really cool.

It's a beautiful pattern! I hope I'll be able to see the finished product at the signing I think the glyphs/symbols would make great accent pillows too...use a metallic thread in there to add some punch. I'm a sucker for pillows.

I still haven't finished mine, but thechronicferuchemist finished her version!

 

 

I'm doing mine more like a beanie, but she did it as a beret and I think it turned out really cool.

Wow, this is all sorts of awesome!

[Karou she/her]

That's awesome! Thanks for posting! I'm going to have to make an attempt. (Colorwork is not my friend.)

Here's my finished hat!

I did get it finished in time to wear to the signing, that was a lot of fun (Brandon liked it!). I also made some changes to the chart as I was working, so I'm updating the image in the first post.

So glad you finished it in time for the signing. The colors you chose are fantastic.
