Like your hatsthank you
Thank you. Please enjoy!
I am working on this hat Ann and am now past the ribbing and about 5cm into the pattern. Not a perfect yarn match or needle size but it is coming out nicely so far. YIPEEE. My concern now is when I look at the yarn left on the skein and how much I have yet to knit……I fear I haven’t enough. I’ll let you know if my ‘mission’ gets accomplished Hahaha
I understand your fear))) I usually start knitting faster hoping I can finish the project faster and see if it was enough yarn))) Crazy right)))
Thanks!!
Thank you do much much appreciate
Love this pattern with hopes to use up some chunky yarns in my stash. Interested to see how much I will really need. Most skeins say 109 yards thought the pattern says 110. Found a set of Pom poms to use. Getting ready for Christmas! Thank you so much!!
I used less than 1 ball. So 1 skein will be enough
I have 6 weight bulky, what size needles can I use to make the pattern work? it’s so gorgeous!
for super bulky i usually use 9 mm knitting needles. Cast on 44 or 48 sts
