These are a couple of gifts I made recently. The tank-top was for my very handsome godson, and the hat for a dear friend. The latter came from a pattern in Sarah Dallas' Vintage Knits, but I made up the pattern for the tank top. Using chocolate brown, cream and cornflower blue yarn I just chopped and changed the working yarns as I felt like it -- some were just stripes of different widths, others I used a Fairisle technique to carry patterns along the row. A tip for the beret is to use very fine elastic thread at the end to run through the hem edge -- this makes it sit more securely on the head.
