Something I made earlier, and took a while to block and get photos. It's not fun standing outsdie when it's cold, with an impatient MrC wanting to get on his way to the boat!
It's Alternato, a very easy quick knit from Classic Woolly Toppers. A present for Mr C's mum, for Christmas. This year I'm going easy, nothing too complicated or slow to knit.
The yarn is from stash, Manos Silk Blend, and I think I knitted 22" size on 3mm needles, but never posted it on ravelry when I cast on.
The pattern is slighlty slouchy (or my version of slouchy!) which makes me think that I may have made a smaller size and maybe didn't work as much length, but honestly, I can't remember, and it's now posted. I've washed it but only lightly blocked it over a balloon, didn't stretch it out too much.
Then crown is rapidly decreases, so it's ruched, but I like it like that and didn't steam press it or anything. Av very easy knit. Mr C thoguth it was inside out! At least he can tell knit side from purl side!
