We're still in a pandemic and Hubs has been living it up being at home and expanding his musical repertoire. So, he's gone a few brass instruments but his first love is with guitars. He's gotten a bass so that his electric guitar has a companion and a mini ukelele to complement his "regular" ukelele. He has a steel string guitar but ... He's really loves the sound of a classical guitar. 🥰💕💕
So, I've been encouraging him to purchase an acoustic nylon string guitar and he keeps saying well, it may not work with my guitar stand. 😱😭
So, to "remedy" the situation (& stop any further excuses), I yarn bombed it! 🤭👍🙌🥰 And here's how I did it:
For the arms,
- I casted on 12 sts & join in the round.
- Knit 7 rows.
- K2tog, k 8, k2tog for a total of 10 sts.
- Knit 29 rows then do a three-needle bind off.
- Repeat for the other arm.
- Cast on 24 sts and join in the round.
- Knit 5 rows.
- K2tog, k8, k2tog 2x , k8, k2tog for a total of 20 sts.
- K.
- K2tog, k6, k2tog 2x , k6, k2tog for a total of 16 sts.
- K 4 rows then do a three needle bind off.
- I used a thin para cord and pony beads so that the "cap" could be cinched when in use (& not fall off).
And here's what it looks like, all gussied up:
Looks like he'll need to get that guitar now ... 🤷🤭🥰😘
