Make Way for Geese!

I came across this adorable pattern for a hat on Ravelry called Olga the Goose.  While I love it as a hat, I thought it would also make a cute soaker.














The pattern worked out perfectly for the number of stitches.  At first, I tried to knit it by stranding, but that was just a hot mess.  I ripped it out and decided the only way it was going to work was if I used a duplicate stitch.















Once I got going on it, it was actually a lot of fun to do.  I'm happy with the way it came out and so is my daughter-in-law, which is what really counts!

I used Cascade 220, all of which I found tucked away in my stash, which made this project even sweeter.  It's hard to come up with something cute for a little girl when I've only been knitting for boys the past eight years!

    OMG they are too too adorable. You are so talented. I am currently teaching the girls that work with me to make your bibs. We are having a lot of fun with those. Thank you so much for all you do.

    Oh, how cute! I'm always looking for new diaper cover patterns for my son's cloth diapers. I absolutely love this.
