Felix likes beanies. He has a LOT of hand knitted beanies because I like knitting for people who appreciate the end result. His latest is a doozy.
It's called "Skullcracker" and Felix decided he wanted some grown up colours instead of the usual bright orange and green. I used Cascade 220 for the first time and I now understand why it's so popular. Soft, lofty, lovely colours. The pattern was interesting enough to keep me awake, and I replaced the plzin ribbing with two colour brioche stitch, which is brilliant. I've found my new favourite stitch pattern!

What an amazing beanie, it looks pretty tricky to me, with Brioche stitch at that. I must do that Craftsy class I signed up to learn.
Damian almost wore his 'Jayne' beanie last weekend, and then chickened out. He better wear it soon, or I say no more! He wants another pair of mitts and I say, what about me?
