Antler Hats

OOPs missed posting these

Needed a portable project for a week away
Took the blue and purple  yarns to make winter hats to match the cardis
Pretty much followed the pattern

Made a 3 inch rib K1P1 for blue and K2 P2 for purple
6 pattern repeats before decreasing
Fits my head without a turn up. Should fit theirs with a nice deep turn up over the ears

Blue Sock Yarn Cardi

Third winter Cardi for KDR

This was a very easy pattern and knitted up very quickly. I knew I might be a little short on yarn so I made several modifications. to the pattern

Rib: all K2P2
Body:
Followed 162 sts size but did not cast on 162 sts as that was way too big
140 for rib and then decreased to 126 immediately omitting decreases in body
Added a reverse stocking stitch band for interest
Adjusted length to 9inches from rib to armhole
Sleeves: as pattern
Yoke:
Ran low on yarn so mixed in the Cherub DK which was a perfect colour match.
Added some extra decrease rows at top of sleeves and across back
Neck:
Picked up 84 stitches and decreased to 68
Band is done entirely in DK (held double)

Pattern:  b20-16 Knitted jacket with raglan sleeves by DROPS design
Size: 162 Stitches or 2 years
Yarn: H&W Comfort Wolle Sockenwolle Comfort Color
Colour: D4 Blues
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Cherub DK
Colour: 48 Methyl Blue 

Blue Professor Sweater

A second lighter weight sweater for KDR
I loved the look of the pattern which had stripes around the bottom of the body and sleeves but when I got started I realised that there was going to be plenty of yarn left over so I opted not to stripe but to add fancy buttons

Avery easy pattern and very quick to knit up I can't quite believe I have already finished it!!

The size is still a little skinny No real mods just added an extra garter ridge to button band

Pattern: Professor Sweater by Rae Blackledge
Size: 30 Stitches or 4 years

Purple Aran Cardi

Another of the getting ready for winter projects. 

It's in purple which is still MRR's favourite colour

A very similar pattern to KDR's sweater. 
Super easy no problems
I made the button up version to keep out the cold on the walk to daycare
It looks big but then she is growing!!
