Winter is coming as we reach the end of October. Trees are bare, the breeze is crisp and the days are getting darker day by day. Daylight is a hidden treasure. And the colors fade. It's beautiful to sense this moment, when all the colors are almost diluted to brown and grey and black.
I've made some preparations for winter, against cold and wind and darkness. I've been thinking about new caps and matching cowl for both little men for a while now, but finally I got the perfect idea. Nothing too complicated, garter stitch because I love it and thick yarn. The color is kind of crazy cold (why on earth have I bought yarn in this color?), but I hope it gives winter the same freeze treatment as it gives to us! And keeps little A warm and happy.
Patterns: my own
Yarn: Pirtin Kehräämön Hahtuva - unspun
Needles: 6 mm
Oh, the best thing in the cap is how the garter stitch pulls the front panel slightly upward and makes the cap fit just perfectly!
What a great set! And what a cute little boy - I love the last photo :)
ReplyDeleteMun mielestäni tuo väri on aivan ihana! Ja sopii mallille täydellisesti :)

ReplyDeletevery cute - looks perfect for fighting off the winter chill, despite their "chilly" colour.
