I knitted some winter hats for the kids but Sofia's was a little too snug. I was trying to finish it quickly but somehow when I try to do that it just makes me slower. So here it is. It's an aran style with asymmetrical cables, knitted in the round and I managed to do the decreases in a really smooth way. I reused some wool that had been a cardie for her. I decided that it just wasn't pretty enough for me to keep for the grandchildren so I unravelled and here it is. I just love the colour. It really brings out the colour of her eyes.
I'm really pleased also with the fact that now I just knit things without the need for a pattern. I have a better idea of my personal and the children's taste and also I am more willing to take risks. I designed it to go with her mittens.
The old hat is now keeping her cuddly tiger warm.
Hope your are all keeping warm out there.
