Another Octocowl in the making for my boy! I absolutely love the green one I made for him a while back – it’s awesome to just pull on when it’s cold. (Especially since he doesn’t like to zip up his jacket too high.)
This time using his favourite color red; Malabrigo Worsted, colorway Vermillion. I’ve already prepared some colorful tassles. Third time using this pattern – great design!
Result of stash bust. Turned out great! The four year old recipient seemed to approve very much! 🙂💕
Same improvised model as the one I made for my boy.
Another knitting success! This vest is T’s current favourite. Magic ball, yarn simply knotted together – not visible in the final fabric. Awesome, in other words. Improvised from the top down. Cryptic notes for a 3-4 year size can be found on my project page.
Super quick, super cute! Drops Eskimo used – the yarn is a bit rough for my taste, but stash busting we are! 🙂
Free pattern: Pipsy Hollow bonnet.

Managed to make some good progress on this one when I had a rare couple of hours to myself. This is an older free Drops pattern, here working on the back piece. I’m using Malabrigo Mecha in colorway Polar Morn.
As usual I don’t like how Drops patterns are written, but I like the simple design of this vest and it should be a pretty fast project to finish. This will be perfect to keep them boobs warm this winter. 🙂
Top down ear-flap hat, stickad i bambu/ull-mix Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo. Färgen heter fantastiskt nog Pip Squeak Purple. Storleken är lite fel – storlek nyfödd i rätt stickfasthet gav något mer närmare 3 månader. Kanske är den för kall då (december), vi får se 🙃
Top down ear-flap hat, made in bamboo & wool mix Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo. The color is awesomely named Pip Squeak Purple. Sizing is a bit off – working size Newborn at the right gauge gives something more like 3 months. Maybe it’ll be too cold by then (December), we’ll see 🙃
Lilacs for Lila, gratismönster på bebismössa med vikt framkant. Här stickad med ett nystan Artesano Superwash Merino DK som har gömt sig i garnskåpet sedan jag gjorde min koftdesign Luftslott under 2013. 🙂
Lilacs for Lila, free baby bonnet pattern with a lovely folded brim. Here using a skein of Artesano Superwash Merino DK, that’s been hiding in my stash since I made my cardigan design Luftslott in 2013. 🙂
