Apart from knitting socks and Baable Hats, I had no experience en knitting cardis or jumpers. I really tried, but instructions usually put me off until I stumbled upon Fernand la Fabrique‘s IG feed. The small price of the pattern was a great incentive (4.90 euros) and I gave it a try with the Gustav Cardigan (instructions are only in French unfortunately).
I read the instructions thoroughly and was greatly pleased with them. Very clear and totally understandable for a newbie like me.
Since I saw this hat on Pinterest, I had in mind that, one day, I would knit it. But I’m a newbie in knitting, having only knitted socks for the past year.
But this hat…so I took the plunge and bought the pattern on Ravelry and ordered some Drops Nepal yarn (Kalidou is a great French website with lovely yarns at great prices). i used a pompom thingy from Aliexpress: quick and efficient!
The first one was for Miss G. I knitted everything with a size 4.5mm. A bit tight, but perfect for my daughter’s head.
I used the following colours: White/ Black/ Medium Grey/ Medium Brown
