le pull london bonnet (wip)

my most complicated knitting attempt yet, and the first project to knock out on my winter crafting plans

First up out of my winter crafting plans is the le pull london bonnet. This has definitely been my most ambitous knitting project yet, but one of my most anticipated. This bonnet is so dang cute.

I’m using quite a few unfamiliar techniques and materials:

  • mohair (fluffy 🙂‍↕️)
  • multi strand knitting
  • picking up stitches (…and making sure I’m in the right working direction)
  • i-cords

I’m super excited though. The chaotic color changes are everything to me.

I had to restart this thing like 8 times. It was so difficult to keep the tension for some reason. I’m thinking it’s because i had to hold all of the different colors together at some points ha. I eventually got it though. That’s what learning is all about. Ahhhh, it really came together and these colors are just so gorg.

Weaving in the ends will be horrendous, but worth it.
