Magic cape / two button shawl

Sama is always cold and the ceiling vent blows down directly on her, so over one rainy weekend, I cast on 164 and knit garter and stockinette until it seemed long enough.

I love this scarf.
Only I am on a strict yarn budget at the moment.
So I looked in my stash an found some orphans that I thought might do.
And I needed a break from the giant sweater tink of 2009.


The blue is Berroco Romeo 100% Icelandic wool. I love the saturated blue of it. The other is wool as well, but the tag has gone missing.
Inspiration can be found here as well.

Here it is two repeats in...

I made my sister in law a scarf from this orange fluffy 10% mohair blend two years ago. My brother told me she wears is with an 80's style bomber jacket so I made her a matching hat. Just to annoy him.

I actually followed a pattern to the letter (except that I didn't switch to dpns until I only had 20 sts left). This was my first hat, ever.

Used a generic watch cap pattern (CO 64, K4,p4 ribbing for five inches, then p4,K4 for five rows, K4, p4 five rows and keep doing that for four inches, then start decreases until you have to switch to dpns, then do a few more rows and graft)

I see pictures of patterns and wing it.

Oh, this was yours?
