Two Beanies and a Bunch of Balls

It's a tight times around many parts of the globe and that means my business is B-U-Z-A-Y! But I managed to squeeze 2 beanies out in the last couple of weeks for a newborn in the office. Training to work has been this knitter's knitting haven for a while now!!


Just your usual beanie on 4mm circular needles - cast on 64 st, garter st for 4 rows, then stocking st until piece measures 10cm. Begin to k2tog every 8 st, then every 7 st, 6st, 5 st etc. Once I had 8 st left I made 2 i-cords, looping them over to make little bobbles on top. I used some good old Utiku 8ply remanents "Gems" and "Demin" in my stash.


I actually caught up with some Knit Rangers a couple of weeks ago too and it was Catherynne's birthday - I'm sure with that giggle she's only 17 this year!! A last minute idea from Elli's blog with some cotton for the birthday crocheter:
