#39 - Little Bro's Beanie



Made for: my Little Bro

Pattern: 2x2 rib, cable cast-on, based on the Hats that Fit pattern by Nancy Lindberg

Yarn: Jaegar Shetland Aran in a tweedy gray, 80% wool, 20% alpaca, recently discontinued

Purchased at: Windsor Button

Needles: size 4 Addi 40" circs, Magic Loop

Notes: LOVED the yarn! Because the Hats that Fit pattern didn't have a 2x2 rib pattern, there were no decrease instructions, so I winged it. It wasn't lovely, but a non-knitter wouldn't notice. If I do a 2x2 hat again, I'll be more careful on the decreases.

Date: December 2005
