| :: knitted beanie using double pointed needles |
I based my beanie on this pattern here. I started knitted the beanie on round knitting needles and then had to change to double pointed knitting needles once it all started to get too small to knit on the round. It was the first time I've used double pointed needles and I kind of, accidentally taught myself how to use them and realised why there are four needles in the pack and only three have the knitting on them - the other one is to do the knitting with!! I feel quite silly not knowing that! :)

| :: beanie - grey, blue and mustard |
I am really happy with how it turned out and I love the grey, mustard and blue colours together! It'll be great forkeeping my little man's head warm as the weather is getting colder here in Sydney!
Hope you are having a great creative week!
There are lots of creative people over at my creative space...
OH yes, that is the most wonderful idea for winter!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautifully warm and snug, Lamina.

It's fabulous! My big girl uses the double-sided needles all the time - she loves this method. Great colours. Hope you're feeling better soon! Kx
ReplyDeleteClever sticks! Your beanie meets all the requirements - great colours, stripes and a pom pom. I'm yet to try my hand at a beanie, but I have book marked this pattern for when I do. :)
ReplyDeleteClever you, I still haven't got the hang of round needles or double pointed ones either. Have had a go, but gave up in frustration........
ReplyDeleteThe beanie looks lovely and snuggly and great colours for a little boy, cute pom pom too......I'm sure he'll get plenty of wear from it.

I've yet to knit a beanie. I really should - I will add it to my (massive) list. It looks nice and warm. How lucky is your boy to have a hand-knitted beanie?!
ReplyDeleteFab colour combo, and it looks so cosy too. (oh and don't worry - it took me a little while to figure out the 4th needle thing too :-P)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly beanie weather so I'm sure it's going to get lots of use, great colours.
ReplyDeleteVery cute and great colour choice! Hope you are on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteKnit envy...it's a killer. I love those colours and wish I could knit!!
ReplyDeleteGreat beanie - looks gorgeous on him :-) and perfect for this chilly weather! I've also been concerned about cold heads but gone the sewing route as I don't have knitting talent ;-) Have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the colour combination and the little pompom to finish it all off on top! Hope you're feeling better soon! :)

It looks great, love the multicoloured pompom! Hope your cold is on the mend :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for you kind comments! My "la la de da" head cold is slowly returning back to normal now :)
ReplyDeleteThis multicolored cap really looks great and cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, very cute! I've managed to do even the teeny, tiny bits with circulars, but DPNs definitely have their advantage once you get used to them. (I thought they were very fiddly at first.)
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous on him! Lucky little guy! : )
ReplyDeleteit turned out well! hope you feel better soon.
