Cupcake beanie

The yarn  A purple Sirdar snuggly kisses delicate stripe effect DK. 

The tension 22st 28 rows with 4 mm needles. With a pink Sirdar snuggly double knitting yarn of different stripe effect and same label tension.

The Pattern
I've used 4.5mm needles with the 2 yarns mentioned above:

Cast on 35
Row  1. Knit row
Row  2. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch, (or increase as you desire)Row  3. KnitRow  4. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitchRow  5. KnitRow  6. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch.

Change colourRow  7. PurlRow  8. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitchRow  9.Purl
Row 10. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitch.

Change colour
Continue in pattern changing colour every 6 rows or 4 rows for 7 more times per colour change or until it measures around 36 cm or so. End on a row 10. 
Sew up diagonals together. You dont have to be perfect here, as long it goes around your babe's head. (I don't have a babe anymore so it was a bit of a guess for me, sadly they have all grown up.)

Pick up 4 stitches per rib around 140 stitches in my case on one edge and rib knit for 7cm. Cast off neatly. Thread yarn through other end of most stitches and pull in tight and secure end. Add large pompom.

The Pictures
I'm loving this layout for my pictures. Playing with my phone and pics...AGAIN...forever changing likes.

Just tooo cute.

Here is my take, sooo lovely, the new In Colours for this Stampin' Up! NEW year. yay...

This is my Stampin' Up! styled card. I had so much fun making this and it didn't take that long either, surprisingly. Stamps and matching punches are quick and easy to use.
Love it... I hope you like my new trial of a collage display...
This style of card is called "Cascade" and I have been wanting to try for awhile. So last weekend I had that opportunity in Rosebery, Tassie. A lovely lady showed us how to make a similar card and we had such a fun day and hope to do it again soon. There are plenty of tutorials and templates in the wide world web, if you search "Cascade Card".

and here is another quickie. Punch a couple of flagsand stamp away in matching colours...by eye,cause I'm too lazy to use the Stamp-a-ma-jighave fun looking at the rest of the hop
