There's nothing more satisfying than knitting the last cable decrease on a Christmas gift. I mainly use Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran for winter hats, and this baby pink is just beautiful and has a vintage vibe to it. I buy mine from Love Crafts and they have good offers on throughout the year. The pattern I use is one designed by Debbie herself, it was free on her web site a few years ago and is so easy to follow with horn cable stitch (or antler cables). Its the perfect choice for hand made Christmas gifts.
I'm currently knitting three for my nieces (Meg, Beth and Grace) as they are spending Christmas day with their mum and new dad (my husbands twin brother) You may remember we attended their beautiful wedding in Lake Como in September.
The colours I've chosen are Baby Pink (603), Oatmeal (27) and Biege (102) they look so gorgeous when paired with the pom poms I buy from the lovely CraftyFriendsUK. I buy from Catherine because her pom poms are consistently excellent quality, I've bought 6 just recently.
I'll post the finished hats later this month on my Instagram account.
Here's the one I knitted for my sister last Christmas.
