Are you going to make some, @Callistemon?
I did adapt the pattern slightly because of the stripes, i.e. an odd row more or less so they’d start on the right side. And used no. 10 needles instead of 11s, so they’d be a wee bit bigger. Plus didn’t bother with the scarf or the ‘buttons’, hardly needed with stripes.
Very easy though - even the sewing up wasn’t too much of a PITA!
Yesterday morning I was still in my dressing gown at 11.30 am having thought, ‘I’ll just knit one arm,’ followed by, ‘Might as well do the other,’ followed by, ‘Might as well start the hat,’ followed by, ‘Might as well finish it now I’ve started...’ ?
