Today I sat down to see if I could wrangle a baby hat out of the rest of the cone that had the slightly largest amount left. Single stranded instead of doubled, part because I wanted a finer fabric and part because there was so little yarn now. Eyeballing all the way, hoping I was leaving enough for the decreasing at the top, checking Bev’s size chart, and yay, I made it!
Yeah I could rip out the last dozen rows to add another two of them to the main part. No I’m not going to. (No I did not snip it off yet, either. In case a new day gave me more patience.)
I wonder if I could squeeze a pair of baby booties out of the other near-empty cones. Because just one would look funny.
