First Soaker Attempt

Recently Finished Projects:

Ottobre Soaker in small size -
This is my first ever knitted wool soaker. It only took me two days! I corrected a number of mistakes as I progressed but this is as good as I can get it at the moment.

It was made using the Ottobre wool soaker pattern (altered to fit my stitch/row ratio) using Patons Jet yarn (8-10 ply 80% wool, 20% Alpaca) and 6mm needles for the body and 5mm needles for the legs.

The dimensions ended up being waist 41 cm, rise 46 cm and thigh 20 cm.
