Notes

To try to cure my knitting laziness, i’ve decided I need to start something new (this rarely works, but whatever) and since I was sad that I had to give away the totoro hat I made for my neice (she did tear up when I gave it to her, so it was totally worth it) and these seem a little more acceptable for an adult to wear.

I need a really small size, and I gauged in one color STST on 1s, and that was about 4 inches, so I figure that with the shrinkage that stranded knitting causes, I should be golden. (I hope!)

5/13- a bit too small, had to recast on with 2s, much better.

5/20- Still too small. I need to go up a needle size because its ending up too short I hate afterthought thumbs. I’m going to rechart it or something to do a raglan thumb instead. I also want to do something else for the mouth because he looks a little disgruntled with the float for a mouth.
