FO : Tobias II

No, I do not have the time to knit that fast... This FO was knitted before little M. arrived. I hope you can understand that there weren't occasions to take pictures!

This hat is another take at my pattern, Tobias. I knitted the brim longer to really cover the ears, and the bodylonger to give it a slouchier feel.

I had some leftover Malabrigo Worsted in Mineral Red from my Oscar cardigan, and a skein of Malabrigo Worsted again in Azul Profundo (if I remember correctly). I knew these two colors would look great together. I'm so happy with the result! 

Eyelet Infinity Scarf and a little baby

It's been months since I last posted something on the blog. I have a good reason (and barely time to knit). I present to you my little wonder, Maxence.

He was born on April 7th, so he is a little more than 3 months old now. He is super curious, joyful and really funny. He loves songs, baths, to dance and his toys. He already lets his parents sleep at night.

He insisted on posing with me for my lastest (and only) FO of the last few months, an eyelet infinity scarf. Generic stitch pattern, I simply changed skein when running out of yarn. I had two skeins of Phildar Partner baby in gray and one skein in white. Just enough for an infinity scarf. Mindless knitting is a must now.

**As per request, here is the stitch pattern from the book Knitting in 300 stitches:

Multiple of 5 sts + 3 sts

Slip the first st and K the last st. They are not included in the instructions below.

Row 1 (RS) : *P1, K1 through the back loop (TBL), P1, K2, repeat from * to last 3 sts, P1, K1TBL, P1.

Row 2 (WS) : K1, P1TBL, K1, *P2, K1, P1TBL, K1, repeat from * to end of row.

Row 3 (RS) : *P1, K1TBL, P1, K1, YO, K1, repeat from * to last 3 sts, P1, K1TBL, P1.

Row 4 (WS) : K1, P1TBL, K1, *P3, K1, P1TBL, K1, repeat from * to end of row.

Row 5 (RS) : *P1, K1TBL, P1, K3, pass the third st of the right needle over the two first sts (so basically, the first K st of the 3 you just knitted over the other 2), repeat from * to last 3 sts, P1, K1TBL, P1.

Repeat rows 2-5 over and over!
