I’m considering this pattern for my advent minis! I love that it’s different and it looks fun 🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

The crazy thing was being off in my stitches didn’t show up until chart 4 because chart 2 had a repeat of 10 and chart 3 had a repeat of 20, but then chart 4 was a repeat of 53 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had a hard time reading the stitch count chart to even figure out what happened. but lesson learned 😅

It started out as the beach daydreams shawl, then another pattern I can’t remember, and now I’m starting the Gadarene shawl by expression fiber arts. I absolutely love this yarn from @badsheepyarn.bsky.social so I want it to be something special!

Bright side: I decided to add another color 😂 I’m going to make an even bigger and better shawl! Here’s the start of it in the other color, I’ll stripe/fade to the blue eventually 🧶 third try (or pattern choice) is the charm!

Round four of hats for #showmeyourknits. This one is special because I originally made it for my daughter when she was a baby, and now my baby boy is wearing it! 🧶

Round three of hats for #showmeyourknits is hats that are wips!

Here’s round two of hats for #showmeyourknits! 🧶 big sister and baby brother in matching hats ready for Christmas pictures! Yarn is @badsheepyarn.bsky.social

This one on Ravelry seems to have a ribbed version of it helps to look at a pattern! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Based on the instructions it looks like you place the stitches on the needles that you had held, then cast on or pick up the 11 stitches before joining into the round. It should complete the circle and line up evenly under the sleeve.

I knew it had a name! I just couldn’t remember it lol 😂

Here’s a picture of what I do, I just pull part of the cable out to make a smaller loop, then knit to that part and pull again. I find it smoother than double pointed needles but everyone has a method that works best for them. So just trial and error until you find what works!

I would say if you’re not comfortable with magic loop then double pointed needles may be your best bet. I usually use circulars and pull out a little loop to make it feel like a smaller cable length. I can’t take a picture right now but maybe tonight after I get the kiddos to bed if you need help.

I love how cute the buttons are! But as a mom with a toddler and a baby, I tend to avoid anything with buttons as it turns into a huge hassle every time 😅 zippers are a definite must for me!
