I finally got around to working up our Multi Cables Ear Warmer for our SW Merino - BULKY yarns. It is 5" wide and works perfectly as a nice cozy Cowl too. I used US 11 (8 mm) and only 1 skein. But if you prefer a firmer version and use US 10 (6mm) you would need 2 skeins. Instructions for approx. 4" width are included in the instructions. It seems crazy working these bulky yarns at this time of the year. Swarms of mosquitoes were trying to eat me alive while taking the photos. It was snap and run. On the other...

I worked this ear warmer back in 2005 - or before. I decided to make some more, except I couldn't find my notes. 3 days later after multiple attempts I finally figured out what I did. This pattern is easy. You only work cables on 2 of the 8 rows. You can easily adjust the pattern to other weight yarns. Just adjust the needles and either add or delete 8 stitches.  Remember patterns are guides - you are the ULTIMATE boss. Happy Knitting! Lis

My White Pines Hat Pattern updated and using our hand dyed SW Merino - Bulky yarn. This hat is among the warmest hat patterns as you have 3 layers of super soft bulky merino by your ears where you need the warmth the most. 

Have fun creating your own in your favorite colors.

Been meaning to update some of my Cable Hat patterns. Yesterday I posted the Cables - Bulky Pattern, which is a great hat for someone just learning cables. It is in Bulky yarn on large needles and quick to work up. When I was a kid my dad gave me a wooden box from Russia it had colorful Onion Domes burned onto the top of the lid. Years ago I used that as inspiration for a hat in Aran weight. I was looking at the box the other day and thought the pattern would be perfect for Bulky weight yarn....
