Granny Square pattern, with pictures (scene one, take two) Edit #2 (late November 2006): I've noticed on several forums that a lot of people are using my rectangle granny square pattern. Seen the comment that people are worried about the long sides of the afghan narrowing while the corners on the short ends stick out. This is perfectly normal. Once your afghan starts getting bigger the weight of the afghan will make things even out. You dont need to do anything special to fix it. EDIT: November 2006 -- I've found several of my pictures in other sites on the internet...I dont mind people giving out the LINK to my blog, but I do mind people lifting my pictures and claiming that the items in the pictures were personally made by them. I'll be gradually putting copyright info on my pictures, altho, it's probably a little late now... Here's hoping the power doesnt go all wonky on me again (and it could...there's a heck of a wind storm going on outside) This is a crochet pattern that was taught to me by my late grandmother.

Oilily coasters hooks, pattern! Ik heb een aantal mailtjes gehad van lieve lezers die benieuwd waren waar ik het patroon vandaan had van de 'oilily' onderzetters. Ik heb deze zelf een beetje uitgevogeld. Hier onder het patroon welke ik voor de liefhebber heb uitgeschreven. Excuus voor de slechte kwaliteit foto's maar ik heb de foto's s'avonds genomen en dan is de kwaliteit niet echt om naar huis te schrijven. * Je begint met een ketting van 6 lossen welke je sluit dmv een halve vast. * 1e toer; met dezelfde kleur, 12 stokjes in de ring. *2e toer; nieuwe kleur, 3 lossen (dit is 1 stokje) en 1 stokje, dan in elke opening: 2 stokjes, herhaal tot je de ring weer kan sluiten dmv een halve vaste in het eerste stokje (in totaal 24 stokjes). *3e toer; zelfde kleur, 3 lossen (dit is 1 stokje), dan in elke steek (dus niet in de opening): 2 stokjes en dan weer 1 stokje (in totaal dus 36 stokjes). *4e toer; nieuwe kleur, goude kleur, vaste in elke steek. Herhaal, dus 1 stokje, 1 stokje en 2 stokjes. Afhechten en klaar is je onderzetter!
Double Knitting - Knitting Community Double knitting is the exception to many knitting rules. You can double knit a stockinette scarf, and it will lay flat instead of curling. Color knitting will be reversible, showing a negative of the image on the back of the work instead of floats. How is this possible? Cast on Cast on with double the number of stitches The cabled cast on is great for double knitting because it creates a flexible edge. Cast on with yarn held double You could also use the cast on of your choice, but with the yarn held double. How to Double Knit Single color double knitting instructions This is the easiest way to do double knitting Cast on an even number of stitches *Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front, repeat from * across the row Repeat stitch pattern on each row Bind off (using any method) Double knitting with one color in the front and one color in the back Bring both yarns to the front and purl the next stitch with only the contrast color Repeat these two stitches across the row

The Thumb Trick: Sometimes called an afterthought thumb, I first read about it in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. I really like this method because it's seamless; sometimes when patterns have you place stitches on a holder and then cast on the top stitches you can get an odd seam right in the crease where your thumb meets the hand, and that can be uncomfortable. The only trouble that some people may have with this method is that you cannot immediately try on your mitten in progress, as you can with mittens where the stitches are put on holders. The trick: Knit to where you want to place the thumb hole, and take a length of contrasting yarn, and knit the thumbhole stitches with it instead of your working yarn: (see the working yarn, still on the right-hand side of the work?) Then, slip all these stitches back onto your left hand needle purl wise: And knit across them, with your working yarn: Here are the held stitches after a few rows have been worked: (Fetching uses a ribbed pattern. Ta da!

By Terrye How To Make A Crochet Magic Ring There is definitely a benefit to using a magic ring, or magic circle, over the traditional beginning chain that you slip stitch into a ring. What is it? There will be no space in the center of your project. Here are the steps to making the magic ring. Step 1: Begin by making a backwards “J” with the end of your yarn. Step 2: Cross end of yarn behind your yarn coming from the skein. Step 3: At this point you will need to pinch/hold the yarn together where they cross. Step 4: Let yarn from skein fall behind loop. Step 5: Pull loop all the way through, and up to top of ring. Step 6: Using your middle finger (or any finger that is comfortable) continue to hold the loop you just made, to the top of the ring. Step 7: Chain 1 for sc & hdc patterns. Step 8: Crochet as many stitches in the ring as your pattern calls for. Step 9: Pull yarn end to seal circle. If something doesn’t make sense, or if you have any questions, just let me know. Happy Crocheting!
Free pattern: Green Zebra baby sweater I made the prototype for this sweater for my younger niece. I was pressed for time and didn’t have a chance to shop for new yarn, so I dug into my stash and used up leftovers. Of course, I didn’t have enough of any one kind of wool to create a solid-colored sweater, so this stripey creation was born. The body of the sweater is knit seamlessly in one piece, bottom up, using intarsia to create the knitted-in buttonband. Of course, you can make variations of this sweater.
