Notes

January 31, 2023

Altough pattern written for DPNs, I started on a 9inch circular when working “in-the-round” and switched to 32 inch for Magic loop when working flat

I didn’t gauge swatch… looking forward to try the fit on Chico.

Well written pattern. Fun and quick knit. Made watching movies on 2 evenings (I would say it probably took 4-5 hours from start to finish as I’m a slow knitter).

Don’t be fooled by Chico’s face, I’m sure it’s the minus 20 windshield he didn’t enjoy, not the hat.
