Swatch to the rescue
While knitting away on one sleeve of my yet-to-be-named top-down pullover, I realized that I probably wouldn't have enough yarn to make the sleeves as long as I wanted (slightly past wrist length). To the rescue: the large swatch I made when I was working on the proposal for the Wakame Lace Tunic pattern, published in the Summer 2008 issue of Interweave Knits. (An interesting side note-- this was one of the few patterns I've written where the yarn I swatched turned out to be the yarn used in the finished pattern.) After reclaiming it, I'm sure I'll have enough yarn!

The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
