I started working on Bob last year at the beginning of our cross country road trip. I had finished the entire body of the garment before I realized that I had misinterpreted the instructions and needed to rip back to the beginning of the upper ribbing. So, of course, disgusted with myself, I put the project in a bag and ignored it for over a year.
A few weeks ago, I decided that enough time had passed that I could rip it back and start into it again with enthusiasm. Actually, it's a simple design and goes very quickly when you get into it.
Instead of the 100% cotton yarn called for in the pattern, I chose to use Classic Elite Premiere. This yarn is 50% pima cotton and 50% tencel, which makes it very soft and drapey. I bought 10 50g hanks on EBay for $20 and I still have almost half of it left.
Here are the details:
Pattern: Bob
Size: Small
Yarn: Classic Elite Premiere
Color: Coconut (#5275)
Care: Hand Wash Cold, Dry Flat
Needles: All on Size 8 Circular, Pieced with Mattress Stitch
