What started out as a simple Halloween costume dress-rehearsal....

turned into a full fledged knitwear photo shoot!

Hello, I'm a knitwear model!

Starting from the top, you see a cute little red Gretel beret made for a cute little Red Hatter I know.

Specs:

• Pattern -- Gretel by Ysolda
• Yarn -- Hill Country Yarns Merino Silk in Fire Red
• Size -- Slouchy (yes, that's a size!)
• Modifications -- Used a regular cast-on 2 X 2 ribbing instead of the tubular cast-on called for in the pattern and went up a needle size for both needle sizes (used 6's and 8's instead of 5's and 7's).

Next up are a pair of Fetching fingerless gloves shown with the Haruja Scarf I finished.

Cheerleader Daughter knows how to "work" the knitwear.

Specs:

• Pattern -- Fetching by Cheryl Niamath
• Yarn -- Malabrigo Worsted Merino in Sealing Wax
• Size -- One size fits all
• Modifications -- added 4 extra rounds of stockinette stitch after the thumb and before the last cable, and could have added even more!

• Pattern -- Haruja Scarf by Tikru
• Yarn -- RYC CashCotton 4 ply in color 910
• Size -- At least 60" long (probably longer)
• Modifications -- none

Okay now, this is scary...

Did you make the angel/devil costume? I really love the red beret. If I knew who it was for I would be even more excited. How cute it all is. How appropriate is that costume?

She definitely does know how to work that knitwear! Very cute pics!

CD is very "fetching" in her costume and your knitwear!! Looks like the theme of her costume very much fits her personality (and probably a lot of us too!). Darling! Those mitts are on my list of todo's.
