Susan has been working steadily on a nice baby sweater.
Susan's Baby Sweater
It’s a lovely Debbie Bliss pattern, a real classic for a baby boy. She was looking around the shop for a new project, and spotted this hat.
Squiggle Hat
The Squiggle Hat is knit in light sport weight yarn to fit a newborn, though a heavier yarn would fit an older child. Since it’s so small, it has to be knit on double pointed needles, or two circulars, or with the magic loop technique. A 16 inch circular is too big for it. Susan has never used double points, so this seemed like a good time to try something new. A lot of knitters will try to keep expanding their knitting experience by trying something new with each project. Cables, lace, ribbing, and circular knitting all expand your options, especially when you’ve just learned to knit.
Susan's Hat
We made sure that Susan got her hat cast on, and the first row knit on the double pointed needles before we let her out of the shop. We hope to see a finished hat soon!
The Squiggle Hat is a Close Knit pattern, free with purchase of the yarn.
