Not enough for full ideas, just a few things I don't want to forget.
- Try a hat from bottom up. How does it differ since the stitches are not 100% horizontally symmetric? Also, how does the decrease method differ from the increase method, especially as one nears the center point?
- Do a stitch that is somewhere between York stitch and Saltdal stitch.
York is UU/OOO F2.
Saltdal is UUU/OOOU F1.
What would it look like to do UU/OOU? In other words, do the Saltdal move but with two loops instead of three.
I should actually try York to see what I think about it. And Saltdal doesn't look particularly difficult, either. It can be done as a 1+2 kind of stitch, but one enters loop 2 and loop 1 from behind before going under the thumb loop and over the working yarn. So almost the inverse of Korgen/Mammen (though Korgen/Mammen is UOO/UUOO, with the needle entering the back loops from front to back, loop 1 and then loop 2, and the final yarn goes under the working loop rather than over it).
There's also a 1+2 version of the Björsbo stitch, called Rindal stitch -- UOO/UUOU F1, a 1+2 stitch where one goes over the working yarn at the end.

Watching this video on Saltdal stitch was enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH_3vOSh_bA . I've already watched a lot of York stitch videos!

There is another stitch on the site that is given as OO/UUO, and the person calls it Double Danish. Is this pretty much the same as UU/OOU but from the reverse side? https://en.neulakintaat.fi/51
- I watched a video of someone doing Mammen stitch (actually Korgen since it was 1+2 F1) but says that she uses finer yarn since it looks too thick with the bulky yarn that a lot of other teaching videos use. So try that, maybe? I do plan to do something in Mammen stitch soon anyway.
That is all for now, I think. I might add more later.
