Apparently, making a list is actually working to get me to finish stuff. I present to you the Blue Jeans Beanie (navy baby beanie from yesterday's List O' Unfinished Things) modeled by Brett.
Pattern: Blue Jeans Beanie by Me!
Yarn: Knit Pick's Essential Sock* in "Dusk" and "Buckskin" - small amounts of each
Needles: US 3/3.25mm DPNs and Circulars
I finished knitting and cast off that small bit of only blue you see in the second picture last night and tried it on Brett's little head only to find that... His head wasn't that little. It would have made a wonderful Yarmulke. But since we're not Jewish and I made it in order to keep his whole head warm, it wasn't going to work. I didn't want to frog the whole thing and start over so I got a little trixty. I picked up stitches from the cast on edge, and continued the ribbing in the opposite direction using the brown color for about an inch, then kept going with the navy color. Cast off after a bit and now it fits perfectly. I named it the "Blue Jeans Beanie" because the colors together reminded me of blue jeans.
*Essential Sock yarn has been renamed to "Stroll", for anyone who wants to get themselves some.
Very Cute!!! He looks so cute in that hat, and I love the colors.
