Firefly Bainbridge

I made a Foliage hat back in November, using a James C. Brett yarn called Marble that I loved, but for the longest time couldn’t figure out what to do with. Then Foliage came along and I made that on/during my latest trip to the US.

There was still about half a ball left, and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. With such a small amount, there’s very few choices. I didn’t want to make an amigurumi with it, didn’t think there was enough for mitts/fingerless gloves, didn’t want to make another hat. Then I saw a version of the Bainbridge Scarf (link opens a pdf file) that was green, cabled, and had green leaves on the tie. The only picture I can find is on Ravelry, which is still in Beta, sorry if you can’t get in yet to see it.

I looked through my Vogue Knitting Stitchionaries and decided to use the Firefly pattern, from Volume two. I ran out of yarn for the leaves and used Lion Brand Cotton-Ease in Taupe.

The pattern is meant for thicker yarn, so I added more stitches, around 30 more. Here it is with the hat:
