Bulky Beanie

So yeah. I cast another thing onto the needles. I'm not very monogamous about my knitting these days. Plus I need to get a whole lot of stuff done.

So I cast on for this Big Ribs Beanie. I've knit this pattern several times before. For Blamey's BF John, for a couple family friends, and for T, of course. It's a great pattern for knocking a gift out quickly. You use 3 or 4 strands of worsted and just rib the whole thing.

I used two strands of Red Heart Super Saver in Coffee and one strand of Vanna's Choice in Taupe Mist. For about 2". Then, I changed to two strands of the Vanna's Choice and one of the Red Heart. After a few inches, I'm going to change to three strands of the Vanna's Choice. I'm going for an ombre type look.

I don't think it's quite happening, though. Still, it's a nice looking hat. I'm going to finish it as planned.
