I absolutely had to have a go at this stitch as soon as I saw it - I love learning new techniques and this was a real eye-catcher. Speaking of eyes, I soon discovered that it leaves me totally boggle-eyed, as I have to really focus hard and close on the work as I make each stitch (it's a two-part process) - it makes reading the pattern off my computer screen fun, not to mention that I go immediately cross-eyed as soon as I try to watch television!
I made the bootees first:
These were made in sport weight yarn in a very pale lemon and spring green - I rather like them!
The buttons I bought ages ago and thought went perfectly with the bootees.
Of course, having made those, I had to make a matching hat....
I'm rather proud of both hat and bootees!
