New Born Teacup/micro Puppy Sweaters

A breeder friend of mine mentioned that she wished there was a way to keep one puppy in need warm without over heating the others. Well, being the knitter I am, I came up with this simple pattern. Pictures will be on their way.

Materials
Fingering weight or sock yarn (You ideally want a super wool. wool will keep the pup warmer than acrylic, but with added bonus of superwash, you don't have to worry abt it felting when you wash it.)
3mm knitting needles I used 2 npds because I don't need a long needle
3 extra small buttons
needle for weaving in ends.

Keep your little ones warm.

Dice Bag Pattern

I made this pattern as a dice bag. But It can be made as a small purse, pouch, etc.

Also, this is more of a guideline. You can add or subtract rows and/or stitches depending on how big or small you want it.

Note: I made pattern as I crocheted it. If there are any mistakes, please let me know.

On to the pattern!

Materials: You can use any weight of yarn and any hook size you like.

I used worsted and 5.5mm hook


Gauge: There isn't one! :)


This pattern is crocheted in the round


Rnd1: Make a Magic Loop and sc 6

Rnd2: 2sc in every st (12 sts)

Rnd3: 1 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (18 sts)

Rnd4: 2 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (24 sts)

Rnd5: 3 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (30 sts)

Rnd5: 4 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (36 sts)

Rnd6: 5 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (42 sts) 

Rnd7: 6 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (48 sts)

Rnd8: 7 sc, 2 sc in next st. Repeat (54 sts)

Rnd9: sc around in back loops only

Rnd10 - 24: Sc around

Rnd25: Chain 3, skip next 3sc, sc in next 4 sts. Repeat

Rnd 26-33: Sc around. Fasten off.

Weave in ends.



Drawstrings:

You can chain however many stitches as you want. I did 71. I like having the extra length. I don't have to worry about the string falling out of the eyelets.

For the second row You can use whatever stitch you like. I just slip stitched across.

Weave in ends.

Feed the string through the eyelets and Ta Da! you're done!

Enjoy!





 

Tiny....

I've decided to knit tiny things for tiny baby feet. And then sell them on Etsy. xD

Santa Hat Ornament

For this Pattern I just pretty much used my Nose Warmer pattern with a few small changes.

Materials:
Set of US 1.5 / 2.5mm dpns
Worsted/medium weight yarn
(Working with this weight of yarn and this size needle is a pain in the butt, I know. But the end result is worth it. Plus, you can always change the needle size if you, though it will make the hat bigger.)

To knit Santa Hat:

Cast on 40 sts with CC (I used White)

Round 1: K2, p2
Round 2: K2, p2 
Tie on MC(I used red) and work in stockinette st as follows
Round 3: K
Round 4:K
Round 5: *K6, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round 6: K
Round 7: *K5, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round 8: K
Round 9: *K4, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round 10: K
Round 11:*K3, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round  12: K
Round 13: *K2, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round 14: K
Round 15: * K1, K2tog, repeat from * to end.
Round 16: K
Round17: *K2tog, repeat from * to end. (5 sts left)
Cut yarn, use darning needle to pull through remaining sts and weave in ends.

Gather some CC yarn ends together that are about 2 inches or longer. Attach to top of hat. To make the 'PomPom' fuller and thicker, unravel yarn.

Attach a loop or hook to hang from tree.

To make cord:
I used six strands of the yarn and braid a long enough cord to fit around you head. I braided a 21 inch cord.
Tie cord onto nosewarmer and enjoy a toasty warm nose always!!!

Tiny Scarf Ornament

Well, this is the first pattern that I created that I actually finished. It super easy and really yarn weight and needle size doesn't matter. Knit with what your comfortable with. But I will state what I used as a refrence. :-)

Materials:

Medium/worsted weight yarn
2 Size US 6 / 4mm needles
Yarn needle


CO8 sts with Colour1
Work in Stockingette (K 1 row, Purl 1 row) Stitch until colour measures aprox. 3/4 - 1 inch (This was about 4 to 5 rows for me)
Switch to Colour2 and work in Stockingette for another 3/4-1inch and switch colours again.
Work in pattern until scarf measures about 10 inches long.
Bind off and weave in ends.

Attach tassles by folding a bit of yarn in half, thread the two end into a yarn needle, leaving the loop sticking up enough to feed the two end through. Pull to tighten.
I unraveled the two yarn ends to make the tassles look fuller.

Fold Scarf in the manner you prefer and sew together. I made sure that 2 red sections were together and sewed it using red yarn, so it wasn't visible.

Making the ornament loop hangy thingy..... I have to idea what it would be called. The little loop thing that hangs the ornament off the tree. Ornament loop, I suppose?

Anyway, This is how you make it. Well, how I made it.

I braided together three strands of red yarn, knotting only one end. After braided, thread the non-knotted end into the needle and attach to ornament.

Yay! You made a tiny Scarf ornament!

I have a problem

Hello, My name is Jaime and I have a problem.

I buy and hord yarn. Wool mostly. I just can't get enough. I have more wool yarn than I know what to do with. Going into Michael's or any yarn store is dangerous for me and my bank account. I know I should stop. As I said, I have more yarn than projects.....  But it's just so pretty   n(*.*)n
