I can't help myself. I just keep making these!
I found this baby jacket in my bins. I remember making it, it was from a free leaflet from Bernat. You know how they had those "peel one off" type of patterns hanging on the shelves at Michaels? Simple garter stitch. I used James Brett "Marble DK". Somehow, the proportions ended up strange. Probably because I followed the stitch counts but for the length, used the measurements.
I had done a great job, grafting in garter stitch. All it needed was buttons, but it all looked wrong so I never did the buttons.
I decided to unravel it and use the yarn for something else. I don't think I had determined it would be a ribbed hat, but I quickly learned, I wouldn't have many options.
This is how it ended up. OMG. It wasn't even easy to unravel, but I only cut the yarn once. I think I had done this so the stripes on the sleeves, and the two front pieces would match the back for the striping.
I used two ends of the Marble, and one end of Patons "Lace" which also changes colour. I started with one of the big balls, and a mid-sized ball. I had a lot of ends to work in!

This one was a quick one. Loops & Threads "Charisma". I can't remember if I used 7 or 8mm.
This one was a bunch of random blues, mainly mohairs, from the stash.
