knittinIt patterns

Here are my patterns!  All are printed on cardstock with clear photos and complete and easy-to-understand directions.  Every pattern has been knitted by me and test knitted by family and friends.  They are enclosed in sheet protectors.  Prices given are the retail price per pattern in US dollars.

Basketweave Watch Cap

Sizes: Women's/Men's
Gauge: 20 sts = 4" in stockinette stitch
Skill level: Advanced beginner
Price: $4.50

A very warm hat - the 6" or so of 2x2 ribbing doubles over to cover your ears.  The basketweave design allows for pockets of air which collect warmth from the wearer. Simple.  Functional.  Good looking in every yarn!


Bulky Ear Flap Hat

Sizes: Children's/Women's/Men's
Gauge: 10 sts = 4" in stockinette stitch
Skill level: Advanced beginner
Price: $4.50

   

Super fast to knit up and it looks great on everyone!  Suggestions included for variations on finishing touches.

Stadium Hat & Handwarmers

Sizes: Women's/Men's
Gauge: 20 sts = 4" in stockinette stitch
Skill level: Advanced beginner                 Price: $5.00

  Pick a colorway for your favorite team!

The welted knitting undulates around the head, from top to bottom which makes the hat adjustable - if you're not sure how tall to make it, allow for extra length by knitting more rounds.  It stretches - It scrunches!   

The handwarmers are knit from the fingertips to cuff - a little unusual in this type of construction, but it maks for an elegant gusset at the thumb.                        

Entrelac Hat, Felted Bag and Felted Basket, Intermediate skill level  Price: $6.00

Size: Women's (19" circumference); Gauge: 18 sts/4" in stockinette stitch                              


Finished measurements after felting: band = 22" circ; body = 32" circ, height = 13"; Gauge: 14 sts/4" before felting in stockinette stitch.


Finished measurements after felting: band = 22" circ; body = 32" circ, height = 8 1/2"; Gauge: 14 sts/4" before felting in stockinette stitch.               

This trio is a variation on one theme.  The hat was created first.  I turned it upside down and found a great basket after felting and adding handles.  Adding more entrelac tiers created a bag that holds a LOT!  For the bag and basket, the yarn is doubled for the base to give more strength and stability.  Suggestions are given for different colorways - use a solid colored yarn, a variegated yarn, or change color for every tier.  Felting instructions are included, as well as instructions for I-cord and applied I-cord.
