Two weeks until Father's Day

Here in the UK, it's only two weeks until Father's Day - plenty of time to get your knit on and make a gift with your own fair hands. My Over the Line beanie uses under 100g (160 yards) of chunky yarn and knits up in just a few hours. It's worked flat and the pattern uses just basic slip, knit and purl sts and simple k2tog decreases. The only thing you have to be mindful of is keeping the tension even when you slip the stitches with the yarn in front to make the horizontal loops. My husband is even more camera shy than I am, but our daughter was happy to volunteer as model - once again!

The pattern is available on LoveKnitting and Ravelry.
