Knitted Bunnies « Jo so and sew
This bunny is so simple as it is made from a knitted square – any size is fine. (This one is in 8ply wool on 4mm needles and 28 stitches across.) With the same coloured wool (I have used contrasting wool here so you can see more clearly) and a very big running stitch – stitch across the middle of the square (fold in half if you want to be accurate.) Make sure you have a secure knot at the end as the thread will be pulled later. Knitted Bunny tutorial - Step 1 Then stitch up into one half of the square to make a triangular shape – as in the picture Knitted Bunny tutorial - Step 2 As you start to pull this thread you can see the head and ears of the bunny start to form. Knitted Bunny tutorial - Step 3 Before you pull it too tight – push in some stuffing (I have used pure wool here but you could use polyester) Knitted Bunny tutorial - Step 4 Pull the thread tight and make a couple of stitches through the hole to secure.

Virka en enkel sjal | Malin Bohm Jag har länge lovat er det här mönstret och nu har jag fått tummen ur och fotat processen. Jag är väldigt dålig på att läsa virk-/stickbeskrivningar, det är något i min hjärna som inte kan koppla texten till handen. Så det är därför lite svårt att skriva en virkbeskrivning, men, jag har gjort mitt bästa för att skriva en, på mitt eget vis. Om ni inte förstår så hojta till, så ska jag försöka beskriva bättre… Du behöver: Garn av trevlig kvalitet, förslagsvis ullgarn. Förkortningar: lm = luftmaskor st= stolpar 1. 2. (Arbetet ligger här åt fel håll, egentligen så virkar jag från höger till vänster) 3. 4. 5. Efter ett tag kommer ni börja se ett mönster. Detta mönster kan varieras. VARNING! Sorry, this description is only in Swedish. Double Knitting - Knitting Community Double knitting is the exception to many knitting rules. You can double knit a stockinette scarf, and it will lay flat instead of curling. Color knitting will be reversible, showing a negative of the image on the back of the work instead of floats. How is this possible? Cast on Cast on with double the number of stitches The cabled cast on is great for double knitting because it creates a flexible edge. Cast on with yarn held double You could also use the cast on of your choice, but with the yarn held double. How to Double Knit Single color double knitting instructions This is the easiest way to do double knitting Cast on an even number of stitches *Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front, repeat from * across the row Repeat stitch pattern on each row Bind off (using any method) Double knitting with one color in the front and one color in the back Bring both yarns to the front and purl the next stitch with only the contrast color Repeat these two stitches across the row

Pipe Fox Tutorial by ~rallamajoop on deviantART Vintage Fan Ripple Stitch Pattern pattern by Janis Cortese This pattern came about as a result of this thread, which I figured out from the photo linked in the first post. It would make a great afghan in DK-or-heavier yarn, and this sample that I’m working up in fingering is going to be a nice scarf. Done widthways, it’d be a nice stole. The sample piece in the photos is 10.5” (eight fans) wide. Six fans would be ideal for a scarf. It was done with a size E hook and KP Stroll Tonal in Foliage. UPDATE: I’m defining a trtr as a 4-tuple stitch here. BTW, if you’d like to sell items made from this pattern, that’s fine by me, but I’d rather you didn’t sell the pattern. Commenter superlucypop linked to the following video in the comments for this pattern as well, which people may find useful.

Clothesline Knitting or Filled I-cord - KNITTING Recently I thought about how to make low-priced purse handles. I wanted to make them from the same yarn that I will use for my purse but I didn’t want to have a simple I-cord because I’m always knitting very loose and the cord gets much to flexible for a purse handle. Then I thought about 'Clothesline Crochet' (see my blog entry) and thought that this must be possible with knitting, too.It is ;-)) That’s what you do:I choose a thick ready-made cord to cover with knitting.The number of stitches to cast-on depends on the size of the cord, the yarn and the needles (try it!) So, cast-on the stitches, lay the inner cord in (see photo) and knit the first stitch over the inner cord.The inner cord will be trapped in the stitch. Then knit simply the rest of the stitches, lay the inner cord a little beside (see photo). This is a copy of my blog entry 'Clothesline Knitting or Filled I-cord'

Recycled Glove How-to: Make a Chipmunk Softie Gloves (like socks), while born to be part of a pair, often end their days in lonely solitude, separated from their mates by the forces of the universe that conspire at every turn to pull them apart. Alone, they sadly serve little purpose (aside from the occasional show biz appearance for only the most sparkling among them), and are left to languish in the backs of a drawers and bottoms of closets — that is, if they’re not disposed of all together. Ah… but it’s a new day. Thanks to the Penguin Group for sharing this project from Happy Gloves. Author Miyako Kanamori is a crafter who lives in Tokyo.
