RKB's Toques

 Lots of yarn left over from K's Red Sweater so decided to make him a hat

Very straightforward pattern

Maybe a little short for an adult and also a bit tight  for bigger heads but all in all a great pattern

69g red

Such an easy pattern used it to make a pink hat for B with the yarn left from her sweater 

 

Made the brim and body a little shorter but otherwise as per pattern
67g pink

R needed a hat too. Hers is 96 sts and 6 1/2in body
Not enough blue for a solid colour hat so added pink stripes of B's yarn
63g blue + 21g pink =84g total

B's Shocking Pink Cardi

This is the cardi for little R#3

As with the other 2 cardigans I used the pattern as a guide

I used size 2 for stitches but size 4 for length

It still looks quite big but that's better than being too small

I designed a decorative border for the body but left the sleeves plain so that fingers don't get caught

Knitted the button bands up with the sweater which worked well for R's cardi

It's much easier than picking up or knitting separately

R's Blue Sweater

 Here is the second sweater by request.  It is a soft baby blue in reality not grey at all.

This is a good basic pattern but the chest measurements are rather large
Used size 6 for chest measurement and it may still be too large
Finished chest is 30 ins and R is a very slim 24 ins

Adjusted lengths:
Arm length 13 ins
Body to armhole 14 ins

Added decorative border as chosen by R
The tulip buttons were also chosen by R


Really pleased with this
Just hope it isn't too big
