My return to knitting after 30 years

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 8.00mm (US 11) 60cm
    Other : spare needle to pick up occasional dropped stitch. Thinner needles for the ribbed sections. Got in a mess trying to use short double ended straight needles so did everything on the circular.

    Measurements

    58cm

    Notes: This was for an 18 month old toddler so I reduced the length from 12ins recommended to about 8 inches, this made it waist length and suited a toddler proportions better. It was only the second item I have ever knitted, and never before with circular needles. I changed the stripe widths around a bit but it was fun especially using this chunky wool -- took about 2 weeks of my spare time -- probably about 20 hours.

      Thanks all of you! It looks a bit lopsided here but it is absolutely even in reality. A wonder to behold!
