Will do a demo tomorrow for my knitting club about short rowing geometric shapes, spirals and miters.
I got the idea from an article by Susanna Lewis in Machine Knitter's Source Jan/Feb and Mar/Apr 1998 called "Split Miters". She also describes the method in her book "A Machine Knitters Guide to Creating Fabrics"
You get a miter by casting on over a certain number of needles, then short rowing down to a few needles, then adding those needles again in the same intervals. For a spiral you would add all needles at once after the short rowing down.
Yarn color is changed every 2 rows on the left side with single bed color changer.
Hat done with this spiral split gore. Hatband is fairisle.
