for Anita for Christmas 11, she picked the yarn.

Finished! and on-time. Knit 3 other hats, mittens, and socks before finally finishing this.

went with a rainbow of buttons rather than all the same. Used buttons that I had rather than buying more.

I don’t know how long my cable was on my needle, but I would have been happier if it was a little longer. I used DPNs for the neck parts.

The back of the hood was sewn together using mattress stitch.

The only blocking needed was for the ribbing around the face. Otherwise, the project came out to the correct dimensions.
