Making this as a pattern test for my little Athena, due October 31. Athena is the goddess of handicrafts, wisdom, invention and math, so there is no more appropriate name for the daughter of an engineer and a crafter/maker/hacker.

Originally started with an H hook and as I went on realized tulips would be green, and stems purple (shown in last photo) frogged and restarted reversing starting color. Love it so far!

I plan to pack it in my hospital bag.

Finished the cocoon yesterday. It was measuring 4” too long and 1” to wide. Turns out Lion Brand Baby yarn is a 4 not a 3. I dragged it back to just before the last pattern repeat, added 1 more row of HDC and ended with RSC.
