Wimple Finished

After some frogging, the wimple is finished!

Here are the wimple details for all those other wimple experimenters out there. The wimple needs to go around your head so the circumference should match accordingly. I actually had to take my glasses off to put this wimple on, but I like the tightness. I made this wimple 23 inches around.

The benefit of a wimple is that it's not only a neck warmer; you can also pull it up around your nose for those single digit cold days. From cast on to increase, my wimple is 10 inches. At first I thought that it was too long because it bunches a bit around the neck, but it works beautifully for pulling the wimple up. The original pattern I used called for 14 inches, thus the frogging. I didn't like that length at all. I don't have a periscope neck.

I don't know what to say about my increases. I liked the pattern the increases were making so I kept going, but it's a bit ruffle-y. I increased every 5 stitches for two inches and then I added two more inches to that. I think most wimples should allow for more shoulder space and a more gradual increase, but I tried this wimple on under all of my coats and found that it was long enough.

Is there a wimple KAL anywhere? I've ripped up my brother's hat and decided he needs a wimple instead.
