Boobie Beanie

I purchased the pattern from The Witty Knitter on Ravelry.

The Boobie beanie is a knitted hat that resembles a breast. 




            2 hats, side by side




I altered the pattern slightly and used Chunky cotton for the main part and Aran cotton for the areola and nipple. I doubled up the aran weight yarn so as to be similar in appearance to the main colour but only used a single thread for the nipple which is done by the I-cord method.

It's the first time I've used circular needles and double pointed needles and I'm rather pleased with the results.

                             1st hat


                             2nd hat
     (with a slightly slimmer nipple)
      Much improved!


And thankfully, all reactions from people have been positive so far usually accompanied with a smile or laugh!
