Honeymoon Beanie

"It can be done on straight needles with a seam. You have to convert the pattern so that every second row is actually done in purl to make it match the picture."

"Where the pattern says to change to double pointed needles where appropriate means that when the stitches become too tight to work on circulars you switch to dp's. You need the circular needles in both size 4.5mm and 5mm, you only need dp's in 5mm. Youtube is full of videos that many new knitter's find extremely helpful (even some of us older knitters that have forgotten things use them) This would actually be a really good first project on dp's for a new knitter."

"I would never wear a pair of gloves like this, but I love them and I want to knit them! There's something soothing about using small needles and a repeating pattern that you don't get with other patterns. This is one of those vintage patterns that have such grace and elegance that they are hard to resist."

"I like that! I don't know whether it's all the combined colors or the shape, but I really like it. I was disappointed that I couldn't find written instructions. Not everyone wants to watch a video to see how to do things. I probably won't be making this even though I do like the looks of it."

"This is a super cute kids' blanket. However, to get the free pattern, you have you give your name and email address to the website Melody's Makings. When you do this you will receive the pattern by email but you will also be signed up for the website newsletter. Otherwise you cant get the pattern."
