Changing Cables Hat

This hat sort of came by accident, it was meant for my Dad. Milo the sweetie that he is, got into my knitting bag and kindly ripped it off my needles. Like a lot of knitters, I have several projects going at once; I had a smaller set of circulars in my bag for which its project had moved on dpn's, so when I found the narled mess that was my dad's hat I cried and then picked up my needles and began again. It wasn't until far into the project that I realized it was going to be much too small for my dear old dad. It ended up being a good thing, because I didn't have enough yarn to finish an entire hat for an adult male anyway. It could fit me as more of a skull cap but I think like me, most people prefer their hats to cover their ears at least a bit. So it is a size 2-4years hat. I tried to get the naughty Milo to model it as well but he just cried and ripped it off promptly(busy playing wii with his big bro).

Finished Project

I actually finished this last month, but Ihave been slow to post. I have another project about half way so another post will hopefully follow soon.

This is the yarn I used- knitpicks shine sport Hydranga

My daughter likes her toys better than her sweater

she sure looks cute anyway!

New Project

I wanted to make this little vest for my 2 year old daughter, but the patterns smallest size was 4-5, but

this pattern below is essentially the same pattern minus the eyelet holes and hood and is sized 2-3 & up, so I am following this pattern and I will have to make my own guesses for the hood. Wish me luch on that!


I hate seaming so I knitted the body mainly in the round, till I got to the arm holes


Again I would rather do the armbands in the round as well.

Well hopefully soon I'll have pics of the hood in process and finished.

These cute patterns and many others can be found in Kim Hargreaves book, Pipsqeaks
