Knitting: Baby Blanket
the pattern repeat is 8 stitches and 4 rows.
Knitting: Cowl
Knitting: Throw
this is a very simple pattern for cables. you will use two strands of yarn held together at all times while knitting this throw. In using the two strands held together you get the bulky weight. You could however eliminate the need to use two strands by substituting the yarn with a bulky weight yarn.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
I’ve had a few people email and ask if this can be made larger (adult size) yes the pattern repeat is 17sts which will add a little over 3.5” for each pattern repeat you incorporate.
Knitting: Throw
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Easiest, fastest newborn beanie you will ever knit! I was tired of spending over an hour knitting baby beans so I was inspired to create one that was still cute/soft and took 30 minutes or less to finish.
Knitting: Dress
quick little baby dress. I made it to fit approximately 6 months as that was what I needed as a gift for a baby that was already born. But you could modify the number of stitches down or up and make it a bit shorter or longer depending on what size you need.
Knitting: Scarf
Very easy scarf and knits up in no time!
Knitting: Pillow / Cushion
fairly easy cable pattern. You can use a pillow form instead of batting, although the 20’x17” form is not easy to find.
Knitting: Scarf
Great texture and super warm and cozy! it is pretty quick and easy to make. It is a combination of basket weave and simple garter stitch.
Knitting: Drawstring Bag
I created this pattern on a whim when I needed something other than a boring card and envelope to give a relative the gift of cash.
Knitting: Scarf
I created this quick knit circle scarf because I wanted to make something as a Christmas gift for a friend, but didn’t have much time. I also needed to find a good use for a skein of yarn that wasn’t quite full. I had a previous project that I needed just a tiny bit of yarn to complete, which resulted in me having to buy a whole skein.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This blanket is fairly basic and a beginner could definitely do it. Enjoy!
Knitting: Baby Blanket
Knitting: Baby Blanket
This blanket knitted up super fast and is really soft. there is no wrong side either. Both sides come out the same (except the border is larger on the wrong side.) Nice thick blanket to keep your little one snuggly and warm.
