Not got a clue how though, so figured I'd see if anyone does them & has any tips, before I try to wing it...as my winging it usually results in at least 5 attempts and hours upon hours of time.

Thanks

Here's the cute, but oh so impractical hats

Oh I hear you. Knit-work is such a s.l.o.w. craft but for me it's relaxing, except for those drop stitches and accidental YOs. I like the beanie and sweater combo, nobody minds if it's impractical.. it's just too darn cute!

Your bow came out lovely. It's nice to have another fellow knitter here on YT My bows 5/8" in size and are single loop, not stiffened. It's a personal pattern I use for business and also sell them here to YT members, great hit for winter I prefer barrette backings over elastics and alligators clips. Here's a sample bow I made for Tessa with matching scarf (which is one of many impractical items I make. lol. But a girl has got to accessorize!! and being handcrafted, it is truly one of its kind).
