Thank you for your contributions to the MN Food Shelves!

Please enjoy my Happy Hoppin’ Hands, beaded fingerless mitts pattern in support of he 2015 MN Yarn Shop Hop. The beaded pattern on the top of the hand matches the Happy Hoppin’ Cowl 2014. The beads are optional, but so wonderful, I couldn’t resist them.

Thank you for all of the class and pattern support!

Happy Spring!
Enjoy

A warm Thank You to all who have taken classes with me. It’s been my pleasure! I hope to see you all again:)

As the MN shop hop approaches, here’s another fun cowl pattern for you! Grab this pattern and head out to the hop to pick up yarn, needles and beads. Have fun!

The beads are optional, but it’s so easy and so much fun to add them to your knitting, you just have to try it! This pattern is a good way to get started.:)

Learn a couple of tips and tricks for the cast on, join and bind off, too.

I recommend size 8, 24” length circulars for this project.

Also, depending on the yarn, you will use between 250-300 yards of sport weight or dk.

TOHO 6/0 seed beads are available at many of the shops:)
Bead stringing information is included in the pattern. We used approximately 500 beads in each sample cowl. The bead color used in the samples was #21, silver lined crystal.

Special long tail cast on information is included.

A special thank you to Wendy and Susan for test knitting the pattern.:)

Happy Hoppin’! Enjoy!
