Again, another top-down pattern and this one is from Knitting Pure and Simple. Mine was supposed to look something like this (Ravelry link), but I made my own concoction (!) I was worried I would run out of yarn, so I shorted the sleeves. I also made a split roll neck--see details at the end of this blog post.
One sec. Didnt I just say I was worried of running out of yarn? Then who is the peeking behind Pulli?
Its a hat. In the beginning, I was so bummed out that I had underestimated the yardage. Pulli's sleeves must be pissed. Anyway, I decided to make a hat.
I might be exaggerating due to sheer joy, but this hat pattern gave the best crown decreases ever (use Version I of the pattern). I hate it when baby hats turn out like couch potatoes. All lumpy and shapeless on the top. And of course, for extra flavor, I added buttons from stash. I am glad I did--the project was looking a little lifeless without them.
Pattern for Pulli: Baby Pullover #214
Pattern for Pulli's Hat: Purple Baby Hats (Version I)
Size: 6-12 months
Yarn: Filatura Lanarota Chaco
Needles: US 8 and US 6 for ribbing
Modifications for Pulli:
1. Shorted the length of the sleeves--I knitted until I finished decreasing four times.
2. I read on Ravelry that for some, the neck was too tight. So I decided to make a split neck by picking up stitches at the neck, but not joining in a round.
3. Added buttons for extra accent interest.
