PATTERN: Easy peasy. Although it’s simple, quick, and easy to do I honestly found all the garter a bit mind-numbing. But love the end result for sure.

YARN: I adore this colour and how it knits up.

I only got 33 teeth; likely could have squeaked out one more but wasn’t sure I could get a full ‘tooth’ and still be able to bind off. Had I used a smaller needle, I definitely could have got more teeth but the end result is really nice anyway.

No modifications. I think I’ll make more Hitchhikers in future but may try a heavier yarn (Sport or DK). These will make really nice gifts whether for adults or teens.

I originally bought this yarn and made this particular Hitchhiker for my granddaughter. I could not part with it once it was knit. I LOVE this colour way and wear it often.
