With this charity aspect in mind I have designed The Rainbow Babies as the first new and exclusive free pattern on our website. Ideal as fund-raisers, these sweet Babies are quick to knit and each one only requires 25 grams [less than 1 ounce] of yarn and the same amount of stuffing. The doll measures just 17cm [6¾ in] high without the cap. The feet, legs, body and head are knitted in one piece and the ‘babygrow’ garment is part of the doll. The only separately knitted pieces are the arms, cap and scarf. You can make pink or brown Babies, but be sure to choose lovely bright colours for the rest of the design, in keeping with the rainbow theme. With your help I hope the Babies will create a beautiful RAINBOW all around the world. Click here to download the Rainbow Babies free pattern. Jean Greenhowe's Meet the Ghostlys Happy haunting!

Little Tin Bird & Basic Granny Square Pattern - StumbleUpon. As promised, here is my pattern for the Basic Granny Square.

Little Tin Bird & Basic Granny Square Pattern - StumbleUpon

I didn’t invent this pattern in the slightest, (obviously) but I’m going to show you step by step how to make the basic granny square. When I started to learn I couldn’t find a pattern that I could understand easily and so I hope to change that by doing one with lots of pictures :-) This is the pattern I used to make the squares for the Granny Alice blanket (above). For this pattern, you will need to know how to chain stitch, and how to make a UK treble (TR) stitch. This is equivalent to the US double (DC) stitch but I will be using the UK terminology for this pattern. If you don’t know how to make a TR stitch, have a look HERE. I am using Rowan Handknit Cotton DK (and a 4mm hook) to write this pattern as I think it’s easier to see the stitches with cotton than wool. Basic Granny Square Pattern. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The Mucky MacBook: Knitting for newborns: Simple hat and mitts set...

Being that one of my "2011 crafty new year's resolutions" is to make as many gifts as possible, I decided a bit of knitting was in order. Being a little short on time, I looked around the internet for some quick-knit patterns. I wanted to do a hat and booties or a hat and scratch mitts set, but couldn't find the exact thing I was looking for. So I just started knitting, then I unravelled, started again, un-picked, started again - all the while making note of the patterns that were developing. Pattern_fingerlessgloves_charity.
