Another Hitchhiker

Project Details:

  • Pattern: Hitchhiker, by Martini Behm. As of today there are more than 35,000 of these either finished or in progress on Ravelry. That is sort of moderately insane.
  • Yarn: Arcane Fibre Works 80/20 fingering yarn. The color name is Who’s A Good Boy. Though this is technically sock yarn, it’s pretty soft. I’m not sure how it would hold up in socks. It’s divine as a little neck accessory though!
  • Started: January 2023
  • Finished: August 31, 2023
  • For: ?? This is going in the gift basket for someone.
  • Needle: 3.25 mm
  • Yarn/Pattern rating: *****/*****. This may be the perfect knitting pattern. You can use a wide variety of yarns, you can change it up by adding eyelet rows or lace inserts, or it can just be a terrific easy TV knitting project. You just knit along until you have just enough to finish the last repeat and bind off.

Hank likes it!

I also never got around to posting the last sock pair I finished.

Those were for John. The yarn is one of the Regia Design Lines by Arne & Carlos. The color number is3879. It’s a sock, what can I say. This is my usual cobbled-together sock-pattern-in-my-head.

One last Hank photo, just because he is so goofy.
