Pearl Tassel {knitting}

Thursday 25 April 2013

I finished it last week but needed to send my notes back to Libby for the test knit. And she is onto a winner, this pattern is going to be a success. It looks great, easy to wear and is a super fit. Unfortunately you will have to wait for her to publish the pattern before you can make yourself one!


I cannot tell you a lot about it, as the pattern is not yet released - but trust me is not as difficult as it looks, really - which is great. It makes it a very quick knit. 


I knitted it in Malabrigo worsted (pearl) - The colourway is great, as it goes with everything. 



Looks at the back of it, I can't get over it. It looks amazing 


In my feedback I asked Libby to consider making mittens for the pattern, that would make a very complete pattern, and guess what I have a bit of that malabrigo left over, so it would be perfect! I will of course let you know when the pattern is available and there may even be a giveaway...

  1. Very cute! It is FINALLY warming up here in Massachusetts and all I can think about is fluffy knitted hats. When this pattern gets released it will go right in the queue!

  12. Super cute! It looks really tricky, so if you say it is easy it must be a great pattern. I love the soft grey colour of the yarn you have used too - very flattering!

  16. I love Malabrigo Worsted. It's so soft and just beckons a crafter. The hat from its back view looks like an intricate flower.
