Patons FAB! DK, pictured above, is a thoroughly decent buy.
From this ball I have made a hat.
And two tops.
Wyatt obliged his nana by modelling this top for size before it had sleeves or buttons added. He was hiccupping at the time.
I swear that this face was in response to hiccups and not to the knitwear. His mother states otherwise.
This is the same top with sleeves and buttons. I’ve since rethought the sleeves. Ribbed sleeves on a wriggly baby do not make for easy dressing.
This is the second jumper in progress. It’s been cast off now and is awaiting the sleeve stitches to be cast off. It’s already been worn by Wyatt with the sleeve stitches held on tied life lines.
There’s still a decent amount of yarn left.
I like that in a yarn. Less than €4 spent on it and I have three items of babywear from it.
Decently soft and wearable items too.
I paired Patons FAB! DK with Double Knitting Baby in shade “Baby Denim”.
The Baby Denim colourway makes for a lovely edging, especially on riotous varigated knits, and is also acceptably soft.
And for no other reason than grandmotherly besottedness, I part your company with a photo of Wyatt bundled up snugger than a Mountie making his way over the Rockies.
Wyatt bundled up like an Eskimo.
