new Cabled Touque I knit for a friend....

... my husband came home one evening, asking me if I had an extra knit touque around, because a friend at his work was working that day with a hat that was falling apart. I didn't, but I had plenty of extra yarn.

The pic below is what I ended up making him.... a slightly adjusted cabled hat pattern from my Stitch n Bitch book... I made it black and gray stripes, I don't know if you can tell... not the best picture but you get the idea. It fits really well too, because of the cables and body-ribbing...

 

Tres mignon.

(Very cute. )

 

merci

 

Great work mama! I love the stripes

 

ain't they nifty? a bit nicer than the plain black hat I was going to make originally, I think....

 

ooo, very nice!

 

That was very nice of you

 

thanks....

I'm always needing an excuse to knit leftover yarn, and I've tons of that around my house, so I don't mind knitting bunch of it up into a hat or scarf or whatnot.
