Preemie Hat

Found another preemie hat pattern this morning, so knit this one up -

"Mock Rib and Eyelet" -



you can find the pattern and info at:

Vine of Life

This is a design by Sue Schaefer -
Vine of Life, one of the Trust and Obey patterns.

It was a fun pattern to knit -
not difficult, but offered some stitches I don't ordinarily use.
I'm a bit disappointed because the stitching doesn't show up very well in this photo - I used a dark navy yarn.

Sue's work is awesome -

Square Mitred Dishcloth

This was my goof-up!
One of my very favorite quick & easy dishcloth patterns is the Square-Mitre ~ and though I've done lots of them, for some reason - the other night, I goofed - and only did the increase rows, didn't allow for knitting an entire row in between! - so I was done in no time......well, I'm not eager to rip it all out......so I improvised - and this is what I came up with !

What I did to *improvise* was to continue knitting - and would knit one row, then purl one row - so it looks as though it has a semi-border effect ~
Fortunately, those that I gift my knit dishcloths to are very un-crafty people, who think that no matter what you did with a ball of yarn, that it's wonderful !
So, this is just between you and me, okay?!

Who knows? Maybe I've created a new offshoot from this pattern!

You can get this fantastic-ly simple [as long as you aren't a goof-up like me!] pattern at:

Windmill pattern

I love this pattern! it is a little different from other *circle* dishcloths I've knit - but very easy, yet it looks really elegant [too often, people say, Oh!~I can't USE it - it's too pretty!] ~
- used Dalmation, a black/grey variegated yarn, Peaches and Cream
- pattern [shown in sample, knit with self-striping yarn & it's gorgeous!]:

Olivia Hat

I call this the "Olivia" hat, just because I knit it for my grand-daughter, Olivia!
I used the pattern on the knitting label - it was a Jacquard-self-striping,
gosh I love that stuff! makes it look like you worked hard to achieve all those different colors!!

Ripple Eyelet Baby Hat

This cute hat was designed by Bonnie Brann ~

It didn't take me long to knit it -
& I love the effect with the self-striping baby yarn!

Scallop Stitch Hat Variations

You can use various yarn colors and your imagination to change the pattern a bit -
In the white hat, instead of doing the ribbing I did a stockinette stitching [knit one row, purl one row] which made a rolling brim.

This looks great in solids, variegated, or self-striping yarns.
