No-Sew No-Crochet User-Friendly Willie Warmer. Adapted from www.keyway.net/crafts/wwpat.htm by Robert Jenkins What follows is my take on the original with real-life adaptations, assuming the Warmer is not done entirely as a joke or novelty, but a real male accessory intended for use.
(A great gift for a kilt-wearer!). It is chatty but frank, but not at all R-rated. However those with a delicate inner nature and the pre-pubescent will need to stop here 'til they grow up. I first made the Willie Warmer from the pattern as written. Gauge is vital. Experienced knitters can use the following to translate it to their favorite mode of circular knitting. I read recently that a lot of people have trouble with patterns when they are given too many options to choose from. Make some small "designing" choices of your own. Willie Warmer Pattern Materials: I used Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride. For the closure ties, I used that shiny "rat tail" cord you can find at fabric shops and some crafts stores. Gauge: I got 5.5 sts per inch/2.5 cm. Basics:
