another pussyhat






I wanted this pussycat to be smaller than the red one: 
done by casting-on less stitches and
by knitting with smaller needles.

I have made A LOT of emergency hats, in various colors.
This, I made it for me.

emergency hats (like christmas bells)








I have made a lot of "emergency hats": it is knitted flat and it takes exactly one skein of Alize Burkum Batik yarn (about 200m aran) for one hat.

The designer named it "emergency hat" because it can be used both as cowl and hat-depending on the need of the day!

a capucine...


...for Sophia.

My niece has been asking for a flap-ear hat since some time, so when I found "capucine" I knew that this was the right pattern.

I made the rib section "fair isle knitting 2X2".
This was the first time that I tried my hands on fair isle knitting: I have been dreading and admiring it for years... I followed youtube video instructions and I am so very pround to have done it!

I was afraid that one skein of the (absolutely bliss to watch while knitting) malabrigo mecha would not be enough, so I improvised by using a beige yarn as complementary.
I followed the original pattern and here is the happy result!

Neddles: Nr 6
Yarn: Malabrigo Mecha (color Arco Iris) and Zeeman Julia (color beige)
