My granddaughter Isabel asked if I'd knit her a beanie for upcoming Winter. Of course, I'd be glad to. I had a skein in my stash that my sister-in-law bought for me when I was on holiday in Suffolk that was just the thing for the job. It's such pretty wool that I thought a plain pattern would be best to show it off. I used 5 mm double pointed needles to knit it in the round. I'm just waiting to hear whether Isabel would like to have a pompon on top, or not.
She should love this! It's so cheery!
ReplyDeleteReally love the color and I love pompoms but the kids around here do not :) Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cozy, and I love the color!

Handspun in Suffolk!! - gorgeous. Is it herdwick? or merino?
ReplyDeleteIt's merino. Part of the colour effect was achieved by having one ply that is superwash which takes the dye differently to the other plies. The lady who dyed it is a friend of my s-I-l's.
DeleteAwwww, so cute!
