I’m still knitting my simple scarf. It’s been over a week now and I can’t see the end of this project. That’s why I decided to take a very short break and spend an evening over a quick beanie in my Sirius Clover Cottage sock yarn.
To knit this beanie, I cast on 120 stitches with German twisted cast on, and after knitting 3 centimeters of 1×1 rib, I increased to 138 stitches. At first I wanted to create sections of lacy pattern (just with simple yarn-overs, nothing fancy), but it just didn’t look well on such a very colourful, variegated yarn. That’s why I decided to stick to stockinette only and let the colours do the work. I made this beanie a little bit slouchy, with delicate positive ease, but not too much as I’m not a fan of too slouchy hats.
It’s such a fast and lovely knit, and I always enjoy working with variegated, colourful yarn. Watching the pattern of colour changes emerge under my fingers is fascinating. And I really needed a thin, fingering weight hat for autumn. It’s light, cheerful and matches my Emerald Cabled Shawl!
It was also a comfort knit for me, because we received some really bad news from Boyfriend’s family this week and the moods are low at our home. Colour therapy is always a good thing when everything seems overwhelmingly gray.
And now I’m back to my slowly progressing scarf. A few rows a day!
looks lovely! sorry you hear you had bad news though. 😔 sending love to you and yours.

You have a favorite model too! (I have one that looks gorgeous wearing tiaras, I mean bracelets, that I make.)
Love the quick knit and the colors, and I totally love the wrong side of this one!
Sorry to hear about the current atmosphere at home, hope things get brighter soon.

My poor teddy has to wear many ridiculous outfits, including doggie jumpers 😁
And thank you! It’s a sad time so all good thoughts are welcome.
