I apologize for the long delay since my last blog post. Life has been full & I am only starting to get back into the knitting side of things!! So excited for current and upcoming projects.
For those of you who don't know - I'm going to become an Aunt next month!
Baby Peanut is going to be a surprise at arrival, so I've been knitting with pretty gender neutral tones. =)
A few days ago, I started a Basic Newborn Hattie!
For this project, I used 3.5mm dpns and the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn in Tan. It only used about 1/3 or less of the entire skein. I think I'll try to make some booties with the remainder.
I took a couple progress shots I took while making the hattie - I casted on 64 & just knitted right on through. It was basically a trial & error process... without so much of the error part. =D
I LOVE knitting with DPNs (double-pointed needles) since all you need to do is knit the entire way though!! I definitely recommend it, especially if you have never tried it.
As I reached around 30 or so rows, I began to start decreasing..
Once I looped up the end & pulled it tight, I left a fairly long tail on. I took a small crochet hook and chained up about 6 or 7, single crocheting though it 3 rows.
Knotting up the crocheted chain will create that little knit that sits right up top!
Off to figure out them booties now.... Happy Tuesday!! xx.
