Malabrigo! So soft! I had a skein and about 1/2 leftover from my Le'Slouch hat (which is finally blocking now with the others! Maybe it'll fit better.)
Don't you love the crown decreases!
I love this hat, sad that it'll be leaving, but I know it'll be so appreciated.
Amanda Hat (see her right sidebar for the pattern link and her new hat Armando.)
Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Col China Colorway
US 9 Inox 16" circular and Clover dpn's
Its an easy pattern, I really liked knitting the stitch pattern. Once you got it, you could just knit on and on...but don't try to fix a mistake...um..er..
I liked the stitch pattern so much I tried knitting a button cowl using it. I decided on a button cowl so she could adjust it, and not have to pull it over her head.
oh..no..what happened to the stitch pattern.
Well, it wasn't working as well as I wanted to and I didn't want to waste any more time so I just knitted a few rows, made 2 buttonholes, and knit until I was satisfied it would stretch and fit her. Blocked it is 24" long.
Yarn, same as above, however....I double stranded it and used US 13 needles. Verry quick knit.
Psst..I cast on 15 stitches if ya wanna know!
I love those buttons. Got them at Joann's.
I just wished she would stop making me model!!

Beautiful hat and a great stash sucker it looks like!

Seriously - they are beautiful, and I love that colorway. Mmmmm..alibrigo. Your aunt will love them!
I just love the Amanda hat; I've made a couple and plan to make an Amanda and Armando set for my dad and stepmom. I love the matching cowl.
So pretty, and what's not to love about Malabrigo, right? I know your aunt will love them and they will help keep her warm. My thoughts are with her.
Your knits are so pretty! So lovely!
Preeetty colors. There's something to be said for instant gratification knits.
Great gifts! And now more projects for my queue, and just maybe more excuses for more Malabrigo? ;)
I love that scarf-y cowl-y thing. I may have to try making one for myself (if I can ever get through a little more of my current queue. Love the colors.
I'm sure she loves modeling!! Because she looks absolutely fabulous in it!! Too bad its not for her....
