One Skein Project-Hat and Wrist Cuffs in Caron Simply Soft

[gaylefrancisdesigns]

I have a tradition with my sister-in-law, that every time I see her, I make her a hat. It's a challenge for me, as she wants something I haven't done before, and I'm usually on a pretty tight schedule. She loves them all, but she swears this is the best one yet. Maybe because the original was made in a really pretty denim blue. Maybe because my brother immediately asked for one of his own. All I know is that I made a cute hat. Lucky for me, I'm very much in the habit of writing down my steps while I work, so I can always whip up another one.

 

 

Which I did with excellent results. In fact, I had enough left over from the skein that I whipped up a pair of wrist cuffs while I was at it:

 

 

And there was still a tiny bit of yarn left over. Not quite enough to do anything with, but still, leftover yarn. I'm quite impressed with both myself and the amount of yarn Caron can fit on a skein.

 

In fact, I'm so impressed I've also written up the pattern for general use. You can view it here. The rest of the website is down for a bit of routine maintenance, but the pattern is ready to rock.

Thank you!

 

I love the Brites section of the Caron line. In fact, the next run of these patterns will be worked up in the hot pink.

Very cool! I especially love the wristwarmers ... I've been wanting to make some but the ones I've seen so far seem so clunky ... these looks perfect! I'm going to try making them for myself soon ... thanks for sharing the pattern!
