Knitted baby cocoon




Free Pattern:

Size 7 Circular knitting needles
1 set of 4 double pointed needles size 7
I used Bernat baby coordinates in white, light yellow and baby blue
One stich marker and large eyed needle to sew in loose ends

Holding 2 strands together, CO 100 stitches and join being careful not to twist your stitches.

Knit in the round for about 18 inches, switching to double pointed needles when you feel comfortable. I switched right around my 8th decrease row.
Start decreasing as follows...
R1: *K23, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
R2: *K22, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
R3: *K21, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
R4: *K20, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
R5: *K19, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
R6: *K18, K2TOG* Repeat to end of round.
Keep following this same pattern, decreasing by 4 each round, till you have 12 stitches left on your needles. Using your large eyed sewing needle, carefully pull the remaining 12 stiches off your needles and onto the sewing needle and pull tight to cinch closed. Tie off and sew in loose ends.
Now, I sewed in a lining using some cotton fabric for extra comfort and warmth. But, you do not need to do this. The sack is soft enough for your precious little baby.

Cute Knit Scarf

Image
This was my first knit project. It came out pretty good for my first time, if I do say so myself. I used Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight medium 4 yarn(ART. E300 color 0310 Monet) on size 8 (5.00mm) knitting needles. I think I saw a pattern somewhere online but I cant remember the website. CO 24 Row 1: Knit Row 2: Knit Row 3: *K2, P2* Repeat to end of row ending with P2 Row 4: *P2, K2* Repeat to end of row ending with K2 Row 5: *K2, P2* Repeat to end of row ending with P2 Row 6 & 7: Knit Repeat rows 3-7 or this pattern till you get to your desired length and cast off on Knit row. To add fringe, I wrapped the yarn around a DVD case and cut it. Then used an H size crochet hook to pull through the loops on both ends of the scarf.

Custom Crochet Pencil Scarf - Teacher Favorite!

Image
This pattern was created as a personal request from one of my friends. She and I have been friends since Elementary School and now she teaches Elementary School. She asked if I could make her 2 scarves for her and one of her colleagues that looked like a pencil. I thought to myself, this ones going to be fun to create! So, over the next few days, I sat down with my crochet hook and my yarn, and started to create this amazingly cute idea for a pencil scarf. I love the way it came out and so does my beautiful friend. She gave the 2nd one as a gift and the other teacher loved it as well. I've posted this one for sale in my Etsy shop for only $2.99. The link to my shop is below. I hope to see some pictures in my comments of the scarves you create with this super cute design. Enjoy all you little pencil pushers! https://www.etsy.com/listing/571180276/pencil-scarf-pattern?utm_medium=SellerListingTools&utm_campaign=Share&utm_source=Raw&share_time=1527424098000&utm_te...
