Pattern: Bedeck by Hunter Hammersen
Yarn: Quince and Co Chickadee in Iceland and Sabine, Quince and Co Finch in Egret and Lana Plantae Rambouillet Fingering in Cochineal & Madder
Needles: Size 2.5 and 3 DPNs
I love this designer’s patterns, but I don’t love that she doesn’t recommend needle size. I really need something to riff off of – I almost never use the needle size recommended, but I like the help in steering me to what I need.
I also was trying to match other yarn to this red yarn that I am trying to use up, and this pattern didn’t really lend itself to that. (Granted, the black and grey hat uses the same yarn, and I definitely have tension issues. So the needle sizes aren’t helping.)
So this was fun, but I definitely had some issues.
