Knitted Preemie Hat



I have been making hats for the boys and I was thinking maybe you would want the pattern. I had this pattern for over 10 years and before the twins coming, I would make them for Preemies in the hospital. They love to have little hats for the babies. I would wash mine first before I gave them away. So maybe you'll make some for a hospital near you.
I would rate these very easy to make.

Supplies; Baby Yarn and size 3  double pointed needles

Directions;

1. Cast on 78 stitches, divide  on 4 needles

2. Knit 1, Purl 1  in a ribbing pattern for 2 1/4".

3. Knit rows (stockinette stitch) for 1 1/2"  Total measurement of hat is 3 3/4"

4. You will start decreasing; " K 3, K2 tog, K 3, K2 tog" for one round. Then Knit the next round.  Repeat these two rounds until there are 22 stitches left on needles.

5. Thread yarn onto a tapestry needle and draw threw all remaining stitches, pull tightly and secure.

6.  Attach a pom - pom or a ribbon bow on top of the hat if you like.

Tip; leave a small tail when casting on. That way you can tell when you go around each time.

Till next time

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
