Sheldon pattern by Ruth Homrighaus. A common thread blog: rag bath mat tutorial. I’ll start my first post back with a finished project/tutorial! A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and i were planning to throw out this huge king size comforter. it was just so much fabric though, that i couldn’t bear to part with it. so it sat beside the doorway for about a week, before it came to me. rag bath mat. so, i bought the gigantic knitting needles - size 19! Ripped the comforter, made yarn from the fabric strips, and knit it up into a mat for my bathroom floor! Before &nbspAfter i followed the tutorial by cocoknits, but here’s what i did.i started by cutting little slits at every 1.5” increment. then, i ripped with my hands each strip until i had a whole bunch of strips. ripping with your hands is MUCH easier than actually cutting the strips, and more accurate too. it rips right along the grainline perfectly so you have very even strips…and it’s FAST. it also makes a very gratifying noise. then, put the first strip through the slit in the 2nd strip.

Patterns - free patterns - cocoknits by julie weisenberger. All Wrapped Up. All of the snow we've been getting lately has inspired me to write a new pattern. I can't have enough headbands -- and this one has a bow! Description: A headband/earwarmer worked flat using short rows to accomplish shaping. NOTE: wrap stitches if you want to avoid holes in your knitting that come from knitting short rows.

Materials: Worsted weight yarn, approximately 150 yards. Needles: Headwrap: CO 80 stitches (cable cast on if you have a loose gauge like me) Work in a 1x1 rib for 4 rows Row 5: knit Row 6: purl until 5 stitches remain, turn Row 7: knit until 5 stitches remain, turnRow 8: purl until 7 stitches remain, turn Row 9: knit until 7 stitches remain, turn Row 10: purl until 9 stitches remain, turn Row 11: knit until 9 stitches remain, turn Row 12: purl until 11 stitches remain, turn Row 13: Knit until 11 stitches remain, turn Row 14: Purl until 9 stitches remain, turn Row 15: knit until 9 stitches remain, turn Row 16: purl until 7 stitches remain, turn Row 17: knit until 7 stitches remain, turn. Knit and Crochet 1. Cables. Marnie MacLean Designs. Knitty.com. WigUsing straight needles or one set of circulars, cast on 96 sts.

Work in 2 x 2 rib until the piece is as long as the distance between the bottom of your chin, and your eyebrow (about 6.5"), ending with a WS row. NOTE: The extra stitches along the edge of the work will balance the width of the first and last ribs. Later on, when the bangs are added, these stitches will become parts of purl ribs. If more length in the main body of the wig is desired, work more rows at this point. Next row [RS]: work as before, but slip the first and last stitch. Bangs With RS facing and using backward loop cast on, loosely CO 32 sts. The backward loop cast on allows for plenty of stretch. If more length in the bangs is desired, work more rows at this point. Work Decreases Using diagram B below as a guide, rearrange stitches on needles and add stitch markers. NOTE: Decreases will be worked identically at the front and back of the wig. Begin decrease round by working decreases over bangs.
