pattern in only a few days

AN ADORABLE PAIR

I get great enjoyment using circular needles

to knit hats. I find them incredibly fun to use.

The one on the left is a bubble hat and I had

to find a pattern online and use videos to

make it. It’s a great success, I must say! The

right one is stocking stitch with variegated

yarn. Both hats used yarn that was

considerably cheap, and each needed one

ball to complete, which makes them such

easy and economical projects to knit.

I am very pleased with the finished product!

Thanks very much, Simply Knitting.

Yvonne Cheung, via email

These adorable hats would make excellent

gifts or charity knits, Yvonne!

PRACTICAL KNIT

Finally, after knitting lots of baby clothes to

give away as gifts, I have knitted something

for myself! I started this beautiful pattern

on a Wednesday and managed to finish it by

the end of the weekend. It fits me really well.

The pattern is the Black Cherry cardigan by

Pat Menchini that was in issue 179 of Simply

Knitting. I used James Brett Stonewash DK

shade SW9, which has some lovely green

and fawn tones in it. I used only four 100g

balls to complete the cardigan.

Bev Murton, via email

What a fabulous cardigan, Bev, and you

certainly finished it in record time! The

colour of the yarn you chose for the

project is fab, too. Well done!
