Wrist Warmers

Cast on 44, 45 or 46 in size American 7 double pointed needles, do ribbing 2 by 2 or 2 by 3 for an inch and a quarter in polo color yarn, switch to orange carrot Herschnerr's super saver, rib one more row then change to stockinette stitch in the round, knit every round, leave a tail at beginning to check for beginning as you work, make to desired length, at least 9 inches, less one and one quarter inches, make a thumb hole by working to beginning long tail marker and decreasing one stitch and turning to purl back side, purl this back side to beginning where you decreased a stitch, stop , decrease again and turn or reverse your direction again so you are again knitting the piece, when you reach the opening or decreased area, cast on two stitches to keep count even and create an even hole,  and knit across the gap, keep knitting stockinette in the round, knit every row for another inch, bind on knit for a curled hem or turn and bind off purl for a straight hem.

You can deliberately twist the ribbed cuff at round four if you like, otherwise carefully hold the yarn the first several rounds so it stays straight on the needles until you can clearly see the rib pattern. This was not deliberate at first but I liked it so I repeated it with the second wrist warmer. The Colorful section is the top, you could play around with this and put the Polo shade at the hand area either in rolled stockinettes edging (just knit in straight stockinette and bind off) or change to back to rib stitch for some more ribbing to encase your hands. Darling.

See the thumb opening in the photo below, --you can finish the edge in single crochet or slip stitch, or, even a blanket stitch so it won't curl around the thumb or the bottom edge. The unfinished or rolled edge looks cute and its very quick since once your there you're done if you choose. 


This has been done in 46 stitches decreased to 44 stitches in the center of the carrot color, which would be alright to work even, I am slim so I made them a little small after I got started.

Happy Times Ahead

Try this out, it whips up pretty fast and feels good on. Any color.

Cast on 56 at hem, increase to 60 near hip area, at armhole decrease one at each side two times. Stockinette knit 8 inches in front and 9 inches in back before casting off for collar, 10 stitches in front and 20 stitches when doing back. Keep binding off one per row until 12 stitches remain for shoulder.
Cast on 84 stitches for neck ribbing. Work for two inches and sew to neck putting the seam in center back.

 Here, I've added a ladderback stitch shawl, with a tiny crochet snowman appliqué. I use the shawl over everything when it's cold also It's about 60 inches long.

Holiday Sparkle Sweater

Easy to knit on large needles and the ties can be from scrap yarn.

Back:
Cast on 72 stitches, work 1 by 1 rib for 1 ¼ inches in dark green, change to off white yarn, knit another 8 inches, incorporate 2 1x 2 inch and 1 x 1 ¾ inch rectangles near the top of this section as in the picture. Finish with off white and change to dark green, knit with dark green 4 inches, knit across 72 stitches.


Knit one row at top of green area with off white, switch to red-silver, work 6 inches, bind off 3 26
on each armhole for sleeves. 66 stitches.
Continue to work red-silver for 2 more inches, switch to off white, work off white , incorporate 2 random 2 x 1 and 1 ½ z 1 rectangles in dark green, 2 ½ inches, bind off for neck
Bind off 24 stitches, leaving 42 stitches to divide at two shoulders into 21 stitches, work even on 21 - one row, then bind off one stitch on neck edge on each shoulder, 20 stitches at the shoulder. Work one more row, bind off. 20 stitches, 24 inches from beginning.
Tie a contrasting piece of yarn into the colorblocks by holding the yarn behind the face of the knit fabric and pulling it to the face with a crochet hook twice to get two tie ends, tie these in the center of the color block rectangles.










Silver and RED, Deep Green Blue, a spruce green color and cream make a cute holiday sweater.

Sleeves:
Right sleeve: Cast on 38 stitches with size 9 needles, work 1 by 1 rib stitch beginning with dark green, for two rows only, change to red-silver and work one inch more of rib. Stay on size 9 needles and go to stockinette stitch. Increase 3 stitches when length reaches 5 inches from cuff edge, work 5 more inches before increasing 3 stitches more. Increases are spaced across sleeve--44 stitches across, 10+ inches from beginning. The right sleeve has 7 squares of green, 3 medium and 4 very small, 3x4, 2x4, 2x3, 2--1x1, 1 1/2x1/2 and 1 -1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (e.g.1.5x1.5) in this order spaced 1 to 2 inches from one another with the tiniest 1/2x1/2 inch one four inches from the rest. After the first two blocks have been incorporated, about 4 more inches in sleeve length, increase 4 more stitches -- 2 at each edge--48 stitches.Add three more of the squares over the next 4 inches, --5 placed squares and 18 1/2 inches.

This is what makes the style cute, the scattered blocks on one sleeve and the V-shape following on the second sleeve.

Sleeve cap:


Front Body: Cast on 72 with size 8 needle and dark green color. Work 1x1 rib for 1 1/4 inches, then work 1 more inch without switching needles in stockinette, switch to size 9 needles and proceed in stockinette. Work 6 inches with 72 stitches across and then attach the red yarn in the center, decrease one stitch in center so that you have 35 stitches green st, 1 stitch off white, 35 stitches more of green across. Purl in the back and attach the red where the white knit was below. Keep working up the front with one knit row only of off white and red-silver beginning on the purl side of the front. Create a V design by moving up from the center white stitch one stitch every row on each side and keeping the green carried across the centered V-design for five inches. The design will have a layer of off white below several rows of red-silver. At five inches carry the white across straight and drop the green colored yarn on either (each) side of the front. Next row, a purl row, purl across in red-silver. The rest of the front is finished off in red-silver. The total length of the front and back portions of the sweater will be about 24 inches.


The Left Sleeve:
This is made like the front with a v'd insert of white and red-silver above the dark green lower portion and cuff. The V should start when the length of the sleeve reaches 10 inches. The total length of the sleeves will be about 22 1/2 inches.

Right sleeve: Cast on 38 stitches with size 9 needles, work 1 by 1 rib stitch beginning with dark green, for two rows only, change to red-silver and work one inch more of rib. Stay on size 9 needles and go to stockinette stitch. Increase 3 stitches when length reaches 5 inches from cuff edge, work 5 more inches before increasing 3 stitches more. Increases are spaced across sleeve--44 stitches across, 10+ inches from beginning. The right sleeve has 7 squares of green, 3 medium and 4 very small, 3x4, 2x4, 2x3, 2--1x1, 1 1/2x1/2 and 1 -1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (e.g.1.5x1.5) in this order spaced 1 to 2 inches from one another with the tiniest 1/2x1/2 inch one four inches from the rest. After the first two blocks have been incorporated, about 4 more inches in sleeve length, increase 4 more stitches -- 2 at each edge--48 stitches. Add 3 more of the squares over the next 4 inches, --5 placed squares and 18 1/2 inches.

Hats

Do you like Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, actresses in romantic movies etc.?





This was supposed to be string crochet, but I used worsted, I like the effect. I made it smaller than a sun hat where the brim goes especially. I love it.

Another and slouchier one, with the brim clipped up on one side, to move around wherever you like the effect.

Requirements:
300 Yards of medium weight yarn and American Size H Crochet Hook.

Chain 5, join, make 8 sc into this ring, row two 2 sc around, mark, 16 sc, row 3-2 sc each st, mark, 32 sc, row 3- work even, row 4-work even, row 5-3 sc, 2 sc next stitch around-40 stitches, row six 4 sc, 2 sc in next stitch-48 stitches, increase every other row by sc three stitches and 2 sc 4th stitch around as in round 5. Mark each row/round and continue until 93 sc. Work rows 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 even-93 sc. Work sc in back loop of stitch all around-93 st. Work sc into whole stitch around-beginning BRIM-93 sc. Work 2 sc, next stitch 2 sc into that stitch-124 sc. Rounds 3,4 and 5 work even-124 sc stitches. Round 6, 3 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, mark with clip or contrast yarn scrap-155 sc. Row/rounds 7,8,9,work even- 155 sc. Tie off for derby with turned brim. Put a fastener such as a clip, snap or button of your choice in one place to flip up sexily.

Embellished floral hat-like Kate Middleton- At round 10 and 75 sc, finish row, for row 11 work even, ROW 12, 4 sc, 2 sc in next stitch around until you have 82 stitches sc. Mark place. Work rows 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 even-82 sc. Work sc in back loop of stitch all around-82 st. Work sc into whole stitch around-beginning BRIM-82 sc. Work 2 sc,  3 sc into next stitch 3 times, work 2 sc, 2sc next two stitches 4 times-122 sc. Rounds 3,4 and 5 work even-122 sc stitches. Round 6, 3 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, mark with clip or contrast yarn scrap inc in two of the stitches so the end stitch count equals 155-155 sc. Row/rounds 7,8,9, *10, 11 and 12 work even-155sc. Work row 13, 4 sc, 2 sc next stutch all around -186 stitches. Row/rounds 14, 15 and 16 work even-186 sc stitches. Round 17, sc 5, 2 sc into next stitch all around-217 sc. Row 18 and 19 work even-217 sc. Tie off. Wrap cord, yarn strands (about 8 strands at 15 inches long) around the hat just above the brim, tie a bow and leave its tail free. Put your silk flowers in the center of this bow knot. Sew into place. You can leave the band strip loose around the rest of the hat, since this will hold it on as you attach the flowers.

Buy the pattern here if you prefer, available in downloadable PDF.

Cool Effects

Get a toy canteen, fill it with water. Put the whole thing in the freezer, store until frozen into a block.




Hang it around your neck at the pool or in the back yard to cool off, sip it too. As long as it's frozen solid it stays icy cold for several hours. You can use it anytime elsewise too such as in the car and so on.

Square Neck Vest

Slightly low Square Neck and armholes make for a cute longer vest that is nice in the Spring alone and great layered in the fall over a blouse.


By using a flecked yarn in natural with blues and browns and grays you have a great neutral piece for jeans, khakis and more. I love mine.
Only takes about 3 skeins or 8 ounces.

http://annissette.livejournal.com/149239.html

Purple Cutest Vest

 Front Neck.
 Front when worn.
 Back right shoulder when on. (leaning slightly forward)
Size 8 and 9 needles: 2 regular skeins of
worsted yarn.
This is the front side and you will make two because this buttons up the front. Cast on 32 stitches, work rib in 1 by 1 rib for 2 1/2 inches. Change to size 9 needles if you used size 8 for the rib and with the size 9 work 9 inches in stockinette before making the coiled rope cables. More in a minute about the coiled rope cables and the binding off for armholes. The front gets its decorative edge from the added ribbing around the neckline in larger 2 by 2 rib and down the center front. The neckline starts a little low, just at the 9 inch mark. Bind off three on the knit row, purl a row, bind off two the next knit row (at edge where the center neck is, not the armhole), purl then bind off one stitch per knit row until you are working with 15 stitches, center one bobble in this row on each side. At the same time work two sets of coiled rope on side seam
*purl 2, put 3 stitches on cable needle, to front of work and work next three stitches before working three stitches from cable holder, now purl 2 more,* knit two , repeat from{* to * }except put cable to back of work. Reverse direction for other side for the neckline bind off and the cable back or front of work instructions. After 10 rows, bind off 9 stitches for armholes, which makes a square edge that looks cute.

The Bobbles and Pom Pom stitches are scattered at 2 per each 5th row after the final coiled rope area at center back at a rate of two bobbles at ends of rows working in to the third group  which has three bobbles evenly spaced across. Just before binding off for back neck two bobbles are centered just under the neck with about 12 stitches between them. The shoulder area has one bobble on each shoulder within 16 shoulder stitches.



The Back: The back incorporates more different stitches than the front. Cast on 52 stitches with size 9 needles and work 1 by 1 inch rib stitch for 2 1/2 inches. A coiled rope cable is worked with 6 stitches per rope. The back has two groups of 2 ropes at the very bottom and one more group of of two coiled rope at the center back near the middle of the spine area.
These coiled ropes ✶are worked after (on lower area) knit three, with *purl 1, put 3 stitches on cable needle, to front of work and work next three stitches before working three stitches from cable holder, now purl 1 more,* knit two , repeat from{* to * }except put cable to back of work, knit 14. Repeat from * to * with cable 3 hold put to back of work the first time and with it held to front of work the second{* time*}.
After the rib hem, Knit one row and increase 2 stitches evenly spaced across. Purl next row. Knit 3rd row increasing 2 stitches evenly spaced across. Purl next row. Now work one knit row and one purl row before beginning the coiled rope area.
Row one and three: knit 3, purl 1, knit 6 purl 1, knit 18, purl 1 knit 6, purl 1, knit 3. Row 2, 4 and 6  purl 3, knit 1, purl 6, knit 1, purl 18, knit 1, purl 6, knit 1, purl 3. Row 5✶ for one set of  put to front and back of work, rows 5 of pattern is here✶-✶ plus 6 rows more with knit 3, purl 1, knit 6, purl 1, knit 18, purl 1, knit 6, purl 1, knit 3. Now work about 5 inches in stockinette stitch while increasing 4 more stitches in one of the rows before reaching the coiled rope area, after knitting across 21 stitches, center ✶-✶, knit 21 more equaling 60 stitches. At the same time when the total area after the ribbed hem equals 11 inches bind off 8 stitches for armholes straight across.

For neck and front binding cast on 252 stitches on size 9 needles and work in 2 by 2 rib for 1 inch. Incorporate button holes on one front edge if desired or just work buttons throught the weave. Place 5 buttons 3 inches apart starting one inch from very bottom on left front.

Bobbles: If you don't know how to make a bobble, add a ready made pom pom or tie a yarn or ribbon there. Even put embroidery if you like.
The Bobble requires knitting into one stitch repeatedly.

Bobble is coming soon.

Bobble
Work a knit stitch into first the front and then the back of the next stitch on the needle, the stitch where you want the bobble to surface on the finished piece. now, do it again. Next purl these four knit stitches, then proceed to knit into the purled stitches, as is you were knitting across a whole piece in stockinette, knit and purl the stitches one more time. Now, slip the stitches, one at a time over the first stitch, leaving one stitch on the needle as a bobble makes no difference in stitch count to the row.

Sweater Coat in Maple

For Experienced or Adept Intermediate Knitters


This is made from Bulky weight novelty yarn and sizes 13 and 15 needles. It required only about 8 balls and a 3o inch zipper that opens on the bottom too. It is a mixture of seed stitch and 3x4 rib with modified leg of mutton sleeves. It is over the knee length and could be worn as a sweater dress if desired. Super Bulky Weight
3.5 oz/64 yds/100g at least 64 yards or more per skein.

Right Side at bodice, underarm and midriff. Notice the 4x4 ribs at the lower half of the front under the seed stitch in jumbo needles at the bodice and the 2x2 rib of the long sleeve. The cap of the sleeve is shaped to harmonize with the bodice, a little above the start of the midriff's seed stitch area.
Front at Bodice, midriff and V-neck. The bust is more prominent than this, I am leaned back.
The zipper here is in cream, much better than black, somewhere like Hancock's probably carries a medium brown to match exactly -- I enjoy the cream and the medium brown almost equally myself.








Super with necklaces. Scarves, hats, boots, even a blouse underneath. This is the back below.

Back: Cast on 56 stitches with size 13 single point needles. Work 4 by 4 rib stitch for 1 inch and change to 15 needle for 25 more inches. Decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced on each side leaving 52 stitches. Work at 52 stitches for 5 inches. Change from rib stitch to [seed stitch (row 1: k1, p1; row 2: p1, k1)] and increase across work 6 stitches evenly spaced. 58 stitches. Work this 9 inches. Bind off on outer edge for armholes on each side of back, 3 stitches for each armhole, one per row per end, 52 stitches. Work even from here for 7 inches. Bind off 12 stitches in center of back neck, than one more stitch on each neck edge at beginning or end of next row (whichever one is at neck edge) three times per side. Work each shoulder separately one more inch and bid off with 17 stitches per shoulder.
Sleeves: With size 13 needle cast on 24 stitches, next row switch to 15 needles and working is 2 x 2 rib stitch work 24 stitches for 4 inches. Increase 2 stitches per edge at this point on next row, keep the ribs matching from the row below as you make the increases. 28 stitches. Work 28 stitches for 4 inches. Increase 2 on each edge as before. 32 stitches. 32 stitches. Work 4 inches of 32 stitches and then increase 4 stitches on each edge. Work these 40 stitches 5 inches before binding off for armhole edge. On each side of armhole edge bind off one stitch 8 times one per row on each edge, leaving 24 stitches to work for two more inches. After completing 2 more inches bind off on a knit row. Make two sleeves.

Front: Cast on 32 stitches with size 13 needle, next row switch to 15 needles, work this in 4 by 4 rib stitch for 23 inches, now... Decrease 4 stitches, two on each end, reducing the 4 by 4 rib to 2 by 4 on each edge. 28 stitches. Change to seed stitch. Bind off for neck from this point in length by binding off two stitches 2 times on three consecutive but different right side rows, at inner neck edge, right side for left front and left side for right front when section of work is facing you. Then, decrease 1 stitch 6 times in the same manner at the neck edge. Work until total length is 40 inches. Bind off for armholes, 1 stitch 3 times (1 per each of the three rows) on three consecutive right side rows. Work until armhole is 7 inches and garment side front is 47 inches, increase 2 stitches on outer edge. Finish by working one more inch at 17 stitches and bind off for shoulder.

Attach zipper to front after sewing shoulder and side seams, and, sleeve seam to a short way past the elbow from the cuff edge. You can attach the sleeve by putting the right side of it to the right side of the shoulder and easing it all around while sewing into place. Where you have left the top of the sleeve open will let you do this  fairly easily.

Zipper is here in Medium Brown and Ivory

The seed stitch means you don't have to finish the edges any further.

Rib stitch is formed by k4, p4 row 1, 3, 5 and odd number rows in multiple of 8 and p4, k 4 rows 2, 4, 6 and all even numbered rows on the same piece.

Birthday Cake

A little white cake. Pillsbury Plus White Cake, Pillsbury Funfetti Stars n Stripes White Confetti Frosting to which 2/3 has blue food coloring added. A star tip, a plastic bag with a small snip out of the corner. Put the last of the vanilla icing in the baggy and with the star tip pipe around the lower section and near the top turning the cake while drawing the line which will simply have parallel lines over the top of it, and, then, make some flowers by pressing the frosting through the star tip very near the sides of the cake , and, then, pressing inward slightly and quickly back with a slight twist-- this should make a flower like imprint which you might want to refer to as a windmill shape or a star shape. Experiment with ovenproof bowls and pans for the shape of the cake itself.

Cable Detail


This has a single cable centered in front, a mock pocket at the left chest and a cowl like neck with bobbles and cables woven in. The back has interspersed cables that match the cable pattern on front which is also true of the sleeves. The sleeves also have moderately deep cuffs and are extra long, coming partway over the wrists and onto the hands. A special nubby textured type of yarn in yummy cream is used, similar to a fisherman but looser, less structured and more feminine.
