Here in the UK we’re having an early October heatwave with temperatures up around 90°C. And I’ve just finished this hat ready for winter!
The pattern is a repeating group of 5 plain stitches and a simple 8 stitch cable separated by pairs of purl stitches.
My next project will be the gloves to go with it. The gloves have cables on the back of the hand over 4 stitches.
I really like the way it’s knitted up with the multi-colour yarn. And it’s 20% wool so it’s really warm.
I’m thinking of getting some more and making a winter sweater for the cold days that are bound to be coming.
Finally finished the matching gloves
Hat and Gloves
Life’s been far too busy lately so it’s taken me far too long to finish the gloves. Now the cold weather is here I’ve made the effort to finish them. They’re warm and snug and have nice long cuffs so the wrists stay warm too.
The pattern was JB058 from James Brett and the yarn is James Brett Woodlander Double Knitting.
