Patterns
I finally did it! This is my first pattern I offer for sale. It's called the Kuebel hat, and I love it!
I originally made this hat for my husband, who is the prime example of people
who cannot wear a woolen hat longer than 10 minutes before it starts to itch
them. He also gets cold easily, so if I were to make him a hat, it would need to be
warm. So I had this idea of a two-layer hat, where the inside would be soft and
non-itchy and the outside really warm and covering the ears. I'm really bad at
double knitting, so I decided to knit two hats separately. But I also hate seaming,
so I knit the hats one at a time, but using the same cast-on edge. Behold the
Kuebel hat was born!
Another free knitting pattern from Worsted Knitt! I'm getting the hang of this :)
This sock pattern is perfect for self-striping and self-patterning yarn. It can be so boring knitting plain stockinette socks with these yarns, but any complex pattern will not show in the striped yarn, or it will just look bad and messy. This simple moss stitch rib doesn't disturb the colours, but makes the sock more interesting to work on and to look at.
A word of warning: the pattern is not symmetrical. If you love your order and symmetrical ribbings, you possibly won't like this pattern. It doesn't really show that much, but better to give you a heads-up to avoid disappointment.
I was making more fingerless mittens for sale for my local animal shelter autumn market and came up with this little pattern. Hope you like it!
I'm calling them Lacey Bubblegum Punk Mitts, as the bubblegum punk style is "girly as well as black". The mittens also remind me of the punky 80's style, so there we have it. You could make these mittens in hot pink as well!
I offer this pattern for free for personal use - you may not sell this pattern or the mittens you knit using it (please ask me about charity). Please consider my stitch markers or Worsted Knitt's Shirts and Bags when planning on getting some knitting gear!
Here are all the pencil case patterns for the now-passed KAL "Pencil Cases for Sudan". Please note! I only designed the Moss stitch pencil case, the others are just linked here and I claim no ownership of them.
Please do not use any for commercial purposes other than those benefitting Sudan or Darfur.
