I had the itch to clear out some more scraps the other day. It’s getting a little more interesting to dig through my bag of leftovers and find cohesive coordination. I mulled my options and went with yellows, oranges and reds.

I am working the Musselburgh style pattern though I am not bothering with stitch counts or gauge. This hat will be what it will be and it will fit someone. I always dislike the tiny cast on and messing with so many needles in a small area but it always works.
I did use my darning needle to close up the cast on hole while it was this little. I hope future Rachelle thanks me! Happy Knitting!!
Yeah, like you, I’m not much on using the double pointed needles. I usually use the flexi flip, which is a little fiddely as well because of the small diameter, but not as much because there are only 3 needles and your yarn is only on two of them while you knit with the 3rd needle. The middle of them is flexible cord so they bend to a very small diameter. But they are pricey! I have three sizes, one for my hats, one for sox and the other one I use for hats as well in a slightly larger size.
For me it’s yoga socks. I don’t care what they look like and the mash up of colors is kinda fun.
