Holly, mom to the adorable kid, and I have been friends since the third grade. (Second grade was rough for us. I was super jealous of her.) She lives in Germany and is in Indiana for a visit, so we pretended yesterday was her birthday even though it's not for another six weeks.
She's asked for a hat:
Ann Budd's Basic Hat Pattern with picot edge,
using polka dot chart from Hilary Smith Callis' Dots Cowl
(mine ravelled here)
a cowl:
roughly based on "My Favourite Things" Infinity scarf
(mine ravelled here)
and Totoro mittens:
Norwegian Totoro Mittens (mine ravelled here)
All were knit in Cascade 220 Superwash in 854 Navy and Knit Picks Chroma Worsted in Carnival.
I don't know Totoro, so those didn't strike a cord with me, but I love the hat and cowl A LOT. I'd wear them myself in a heartbeat.
Happy birthday, Holly!
Those are all awesome - Holly is a lucky friend!
