Winter Hat, Booties and Mittens for Baby Alice

Winter Hat, Booties and Mittens for baby Alice

My great grand-daughter is due in November, so I got busy and learned how to make booties and no scratch mittens. I have made hats before for my other grand children but never had tried booties or mittens. I was very happy with the outcome and have to say I love you tube.

Crib Blanket

Yarn: BERNAT BABY Sport
Circular needle sizes: 9 and 3.75
Knit stitches: 7 rows with size 9
7 rows with size 3.75
Repeat until desired length

Folded 4″ over to make a little scallop and added blanket binding to the top

I am going to become a great grandmother in November. I am so excited and thought I better get started on the blanket I am making to welcome our new little one into the world. I won’t be able to be there to wrap my arms around this little one but in every stitch I am putting into this crib blanket I am thinking of him or her. Each stich has a prayer, a blessing and a heart full of love.

Knitting Personality Test

While I was visiting the Kniting and Crochet Forum called Knitting paradise, I came across this fun little knitting personality test. Interesting, It said I was a logical knitter. Seemed to fit me pretty well, personality wise.

Knitted Mesh Soap Holder

Great for home

Hang to dry

Great for on the go

I love this soap holder. I made a couple on my own and they turned out ok. Then I seen this video on you tube and just had to try it. I love it, it is so easy to make and very comfortable to use. It works great for your own personal soap at home, but I love the idea of taking it on the go. I just want to make one for everyone in my family.

I have included the video from Good Knit Kisses in case anyone else would like to try it. And also so I don’t forget how to make them

MULTICOLORED SCARF

Scarf for Linda

To make this scarf I used the Kniffty Knitter 8″ loom. The stitch is the twisted stitch. I used one skein Multi Casual Boucle by Sensations and 1/2 skein Caron Simply Soft color Pagoda. I really like the thickness of the scarf using the twisted stitch on the loom. I absolutely love the color Pagoda. I had some left over and decided to make a scarf for myself. I miss the knitting needles , so I am going to use 9″ needles and just do the knit stitch. Simple but a stitch I have become very comfortable with will post a picture when I finish.

MY FIRST LOOM KNITTED SCARF

Knitted on a 10" loom from Knifty Knitter. Dark purple yarn called Charism by Loops & Threads. .I used the e-wrap knit stitch and added some fringe. I really love the pattern it made and I absolutley love the color.

GETTING PLENTY OF PRACTICE WITH KNIT STITCH SCARVES

Morgen's - red with sequins - knit stitch

This is Morgen’s scarf, I used red-hot enchantress yarn by Yarn Bee. It was a bulky weight and done in the knit stitch and fringe added. She loves it, it fits her like a shawl. She slept in it the first night she got it.

Aspen's - black with a shimmer - knit stitch

Aspen’s scarf ia made with a black shimmer yarn by Red Heart. It is a medium weight and done in the knit stitch and added fringe. It looks great on her and ties very easily.

Amelia's - pink,green & tan extended knit stitch

Amelia just loved the yarn in this scarf she said it was sooo soft. I tried a new stitch called the extended knit stitch and it makes the scarf feel very light and fluffy.

Amelia's - light yellow with beads - knit stitch

Amelia’s scarf made with a light baby yellow yarn with beads and fringe.

My First Loom Knitted Hat

I used the circular 31 peg loom by Knifty Knitter and Deep Purple Charisma Yarn from Loops &Threads. Using the e-wrap stitch I made a 2″ brim and an 8″ body. I tied it off with the drawstring method and topped it off with a pom-pom. I can’t wait to see how it fits my youngest grand-daughter, I think she is going to like it. Now I have to make each of the girls a hat to match their scarves.
