It's getting colder and I'm getting back into knitting again.
This little beanie and booties are for my niece.
I found the pattern for the booties here, and made up the beanie pattern myself. Which explains why it looks slightly lopsided. The cables make it nice and stretchy so I'm hoping it will still fit.
The yarn is a lovely soft alpaca/wool blend, finer than I'd ever used before. I thought I would get impatient knitting with smaller needles (4mm) but because these are such small projects it didn't take long at all.
I had to re-learn crochet to do the trim around the booties, and it doesn't look quite like the picture, but I'm pretty happy with the final result, especially for a first try.
Next up: socks!
