This is Gretel by Ysolda

You can buy the pattern here for a meer 2 pounds, its WELL worth it!

Pattern: Gretel by Yosolda

Needles: 3.25mm and 4.5mm circs and dpns

Yarn: Cascade 220 colour 8010  1 skein

Start Date : dec 14th 2007

Finish Date : dec 17th 2007

I love this knit. It had lots of cabley goodness and the pattern was still very easy to follow. I didn’t have the correct cast on needle size of 3.75mm so i used 3.25mm’s which made it a little snug but its still fits nicely. Although alot of people on Ravelry had commented on how slouchy the Slouchy version was I went for it and it turned out just how I wanted it to. I first saw the pattern over at Carole’s.Her daughter Hannah is just soooo pretty and looks great in anything so when I saw Gretel on her I HAD to make one pronto.

  1. What a gorgeous hat! If I could wear hats (without my hair standing on end after taking them off, and if I looked good in hats…which unfortunately I don’t), I would definately make this one…though I suppose I could always make it and gift it or donate it….anyway, it looks gorgous on you!

  2. You look beautiful in that top picture! and the hat looks beautiful in the next…just look at all those gorgeous cables going every which way!
