The First Headcoat - finally gifted! =)

The 12-year-old girl that got it for her birthday was very happy, too! *yey*

Usage: ca. 86 gr. - one thread brown yak/merinowool from Stäkets Hantverk & Design and one thread blue wool from Holst Garn. Both fingering weights. I used both 4mm and 3mm needles.
