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.

That is one very adorable sweater and hat set!
Really cute! Loved your granny blankie too. One of the best things about drowning in WIPs is that sometimes you get a big flurry of FOs!
what an adorable set!! I love the tweedy yarn you chose, and the button detailing is perfect. Great job!!

How cute! I love the button detail. I've make the Easy Baby Cardigan that's also by Pure and Simple knitting and I'm working on a second. So easy and quick to make. I may have to make a hat to match. Thanks for sharing the link.
