I’m on a roll, hold the mayo! Cabled Rangoli Hat by Desi knitter in RCY Baby Alpaca DK, which was another accidental yarn purchase along with the Pure Cashmere.

It took about a skein and a half and took about two days worth of knitting time. I had a few problems with the written instructions on the pattern – the cables went a bit wrong for me towards the end and I ended up with odd numbers of stitches but I haven’t completely figured out what happened. I was also knitting it on 80 cm 3.5mm needles in magic loop because I don’t own any 40cm circs and that’s given me a bit of a stretched ladder on the joins but that’s my own fault and it’s not that massively noticeable when it is on my head.

Now to finish the second Monkey (we have passed the heel!) and then I need to consult my Ravelry queue to see what I have planned/the yarn for next.
