Notes

Due to the short time available to knit before Christmas, i had to change a couple of thing:

  • I prefered to cast on with Judy Becker’s method, to avoid any sewing and because it’s invisible on the top.
  • For the edge of the hood, i knit 16 rows instead of 8. Then, again to avoid sewing, i cast off my last row together with the purl bumps of the cast on.
  • Instead of making a long scarf, i knit 2 paw scarves (40 cm each), and sewed them inside the hood, near the edge.
  • I made simple strips for the cowl

I finished everything on Christmas morning, just in time. But sadly, i don’t have a picture of Lylou with it :/
