It is a miracle. I actually started and finished something. This is another November Hat. It is starting to feel slightly chilly in the morning so a hat for the little one was in order. It was a fun knit, and the yarn works beautifully with the stitch pattern. I love gifting baby blankets. They take longer than a cardigan and a hat, but they are satisfying to make. You might remember seeing me start this a couple of days ago. It was a rough start but once I settled on a stitch pattern I liked it was nice and easy. I used an acrylic yarn because babies leak and I want the mommy to just throw it in the washing machine. It is soft and textural. I love texture and the vertical stripes add enough visual interest to make it really pretty.
It is for a baby boy and I wanted it to look sophisticated and not scream baby so I went for a deep denimy blue. I hate the pale blues and pinks they use for baby stuff.
The seed stitch border is an alternative to the garter stitch but still makes sure that it doesn’t curl at the edges, which I just hate. Do you want to make one? The pattern is available for free, just click the link to get it, a chart is also included. Seeds and Trees Baby Blanket (click this link or any of the images to get the pattern)
Coat hangers can be cute? Yes yes yes they can be very cute. So cute in fact that I want to make some. I can across there cheerful ones from Petite Fee.
My grandmother had these, I am not sure if she made them or someone made them for her (she’s an amazing seamstress, knitter, crocheter, cook, grandmother and an amazing woman all around). I a free pattern by Spud & Chloe for them if you want to make your own.
You might have seen it before, but let me tell you the whole story. I got this Because a friend was going to have a baby, so I could make this. And I fell in love with the color and stitch detail The yarn was so soft and squishy, perfect for a tiny baby. I had to hide it till I gave it to my friend because my little one, loved it too. Oh well, maybe I should make her a bigger one soon. And guess what, I giving the pattern away for free, so that lots of other little babies (or bigger babies) can enjoy it. It is small 27 inches by 25 inches, which is perfect for strollers and car seats, the size is easily adjustable, just make sure you have more yardage. You can also use any weight yarn, just use the recommended size hook for it too. Pattern Details: The pattern also includes a chart for the stitch pattern
I am calling this the MummyGo Bag because it is perfect for you mums out there, grabbing stuff and always on the go. I wanted a medium sized bag that could hold my stuff and be easily accessible. It is also very easy to make and takes almost under an hour from start to finish. The corners aren’t rounded and the handle can be pulled to give it a gathered look that is so sweet. You can carry it on your shoulder or hold it easily, whatever your style is.
I made another one too. If you make one of these I would love to see it so let me know.
All you need to do is crochet a rectangle then slip stitch the edges together to make sleeves. Is there anything easier than that? You can do this with any weight yarn and any size hook. I made one for myself and one for my daughter. Hers was done in a worsted weight yarn and took a couple of hours. Mine was done in a fingering weight yarn and took ages, mainly because I kept stopping and doing other things in the middle. You need to measure the length you would like the shrug to be. Both of the ones I made were short sleeve ones. Start chaining, your chain should be a multiple of 5 + 2. For my shrug the starting chain was 192 and for Lulu’s it was 62. Row 1: Turn and SC in the second chain from the hook, SC across till the end of the chain. Row 2:Turn and do a no turning chain dc (the link takes you to a youtube video explaining how to) you can also do a 3 chain if you prefer. 2DC in the same stitch, *Skip 4 stitches, In the same stitch 2 DC, Ch 1, 2 DC* Repeat until you get to the last 5 SCs, Skip 4 and then 3DC in the last stitch. Row 3:Turn do a no turning chain dc, 2 dc in the same stitch, skip all the DCs and work (2DC, CH1, 2DC) CH 1 space only until you get to the last cluster which is 3DCs. Work 3 DCs in the very last DC. Row 4:Turn do a no turning chain, 2 DC in same stitch, *CH2, SC in the space between the DCs in Row 2, CH2 . (2DC, CH1, 2DC ) in the next chain space. CH2, and SC in the space between the next DC clusters in row 2*. Repeat until the last 3DC cluster and DC3 in the last DC. Repeat rows 2 – 4 until the shrug is as high as you want it. Turn your work and SC in same stitch,* CH 4, SC in CH1 space* Repeat until you SC in the very last dc. Turn and SC in each SC and 4 SC in the CH4 spaces till the end. Now fold the rectangle over and either sew the edges or slip stitch together to form the shrug. Wear it and feel pretty good about yourself or make a mini one for the mini you in the house.
After knitting a dishcloth and using it for some time I realized that dishcloths really are awesome. I then made another one using the same yarn but smaller needles. Then I decided to use some leftover cotton to make a crochet one. At first I had no idea what to do with them, then found out that they are pretty little things that make wiping counters and drying dishes so much more fun. Some people use them to wash dishes but I prefer to use my tawashis for that. I’ve also learned:
Want to make one? Here’s how: Stitches between asterisks ** are to be repeated I used Coats India Cinderella and 3.5 mm hook Starting Chain: Chain 37 {or any odd number depending on the size you want to make} Row 1 : SC in the next 36 stitches. [36 SC] Row 2: Turn, chain 1 and SC in same stitch, DC in next stitch *SC, DC* across [36 stitches] Row 3 – 30 : Repeat row 2. In the next rows you will be SCing in DCs and DCing in SCs. Row 31: Turn, chain 1 and SC in same stitch, SC across [36 SC] Finish off and weave in ends. You can SC around the dishcloth for a neater edge but I liked the raw bumpy edge.
