    I used a combination of patterns on Ravelry
    One pattern for each size and another for the flowers.

    It is Patons Jet Alpaca Wool, I got it second hand so not sure if it is still available. The pattern was so easy and the edges come out nice and neat :).


    ETA Finally finished my Stroller Snood (had to order more yarn, despite it being stash busting I ran out of yarn!)

    Lovely makes everyone :T
    I've been more on my sewing machine lately and just crocheted up some granny square coasters but after looking at everyones recent makes I think I might knit myself some wristwarmers. I'm sure we'll get plenty of cold days before Spring comes along.

    Continuing the theme of finishing things off, here is my Spicy Cowl. The original pattern had it slightly longer to pull up as a snood, but seeing as I have just made a snood, and actually prefer cowls mine is a cowl ;)

    This was one of those times when washing and gentle blocking really made a difference in opening the pattern up!
