Notes

Just got a new set of ChaioGoo needles and want to test them out. Using up stash left over from all the tests for the Blanket I made for my daughter. Using just 3 colours.

October 6, 2020

I used Very Pink Knits technique on YouTube to make a double hat cuff using a Crochet provisional cast on.

I also did a tiny bit of duplicate stitch in the dark colour at the back on the inside. When he puts it on he can make sure the mismatched chevrons at the end of the round will be at the back.

It came out a little longer and slouchier than we would have liked.
