Today is the beginning of a new blog. A place to share fun patterns, super soft yarns, and cool knitting shops.
These two hats are the ones I sold today in my Etsy shop. My first sale! The white one was made on size 7 needles with Berocco vintage chunky. I cast on 54 stitches, did 6 rows of ribbing then p2, k4 for 2 rows, cabled with 2 to the back on row 3, and then row 4-6 were p2, k4.
The blue hat was a variation with smaller needles and thinner yarn. Honestly, I have no idea what yarn I used for this one, I think it was cotton and it must've been a size 2 needle or so. But it was tiny! They were both perfect for a newborn. I fiddled around with the shaping of the crown and it ended up looking okay but I still have to work on that part of the pattern.
This is the beginning of a great adventure. Now I have a purpose for my hobby! True, my first efforts are only selling what I've made from stash yarn so I have not made any significant money. But, woohoo, it is quite a thrill!
Hopefully you'll enjoy the journey with me!
