Odessa hats complete.

Three Odessa's all in a row...



Are they the cutest or what! I have promised Maia a beaded version...and she has requested pink of course!

Cashsoft. Dare I say it could me my favourite yarn?! Love it. Seriously.
I made the first one in DB Baby Cashmerino in cream. I didn't check gauge. Lazy. I figured it would fit a child...and I was in need of something to knit. Let me just show you the difference in sizing between the baby cashmerino and the cashsoft...



I just loved the pattern. Interesting enough...plus bead knitting...yet easy enough to mindlessly knit along.

This hat could be knit in a day. I actually did the first beaded one in a day.
Yarn: Cashsoft (blue), Baby Cashmerino (cream).
Pattern: Odessa Hat
Adjustments: None.



I have been searching on line for the cheapest Cashsoft...and I think it is here.
I paid $12.95 a ball canadian...totally a rip off!

This is so cute. They look so sweet in their new hats. What a lovely pattern, and it looks good with and without beads.

Too cute. Thanks for sharing the scouted cashsoft spot, it's crazy pricy in Canada. Maybe now I'll give it a whirl.

What cute hats and models! I'm on my second ball of Cashoff and it's starting to grow on me. It is nice and soft!

The kids are definitely cuter than the hats. And the hats are cute. That's all I have to say :).

I made Odessa too, but I only had my dog to model it. He hates me now.

Please bear with me... AWWWWWWW! They are so cute! Three Odessas? You are one brave woman. And to think I was happy with myself for just completing one! Congratulations - especially considering the IV incident I just read about!
