Decke persische Träume

This is for you - all you who loved Persian Dreams, but didn’t have time to knit it in fingering.

Believe it or not, this is not a difficult project for experts only. Persian Dreams is made up of a set of individually worked hexagons, each in the round from the middle out. The hardest part is starting the hexagon with a seamless circular cast on. The colorwork is always right-side-out, so much easier to follow the pattern than when working back and forth. Each hexagon is small and easy to carry around. Once you have some (or all, it is up to you) hexagons complete, you can begin grafting them together, or use whatever seam you prefer. More than one person has learned how to do stranded colorwork making the original Persian Dreams in fingering weight yarn. This one is a lot faster and easier to see whats going on.

If you want your Persian Dreams Worsted to look more like the original, only use the first 6 hexagon patterns and rearrange them to match the photos. I added 2 new hexagon designs, and rearranged the hexagons somewhat.

In some of the photos, Worsted is shown beside the original Persian Dreams so you can compare. Worsted is the whiter one :)
