Crimadiddle Heffalumps
Started: 3rd November 2015
Finished: 11th December 2015
Pattern
Rose and Lily by Lenka Ilcisin & Emily Williams (Ravelry link)
Used stranded knitting technique from "It's not about the hat" (Ravelry link)
Materials
Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino
- main colour - 45gm Orange - shade 340092
- elephants - 20gm gray - shade 340058
2.5mm needles for ribbing
3mm needles for main part of hat
Notes
Long tail cast on with 3mm needles.
Started by doing medium size and using 3.5mm needles for main part, but hat was working out far too big.
Undid, and then tried again with small size and 3mm needles - much better.
2nd time also used invisible stranding as explained in “It’s not about the hat”. Found it hard work, but end result is much better.
For Lewis.
