knit too Peasy pattern by Heidi Kirrmaier Starting June 1, 2013, if you purchase 4 or more patterns from my Ravelry Shop at the same time, you automatically receive a 20% discount. A cropped cardigan with 3/4 sleeves, worked in one piece from the top down, which means you can easily change the length of the sleeves and body as you like. You could also add more buttons if you prefer a closed cardigan. Suitable for an adventurous beginner, who understands top-down raglan construction, is not afraid of a little lace and picking up stitches for the trim. Body length from underarm =31 cm (12.5 inches) Sleeve length = 28-30 cm (11-12 inches) Choose a size that gives you approx. 0-2 inches of positive ease. Yarn requirements:(Make sure you increase the amount of yarn required if you intend to lengthen body and/or sleeves.)

Harry Potter Knitting Patterns One eco-friendly way of getting knitting supplies that we sort of touched on yesterday is by upcycling, or making yarn out of some other material that was already in existence as something else. T-shirt yarn is a common example. I have a whole box full of T-shirts that one day I really will make into a quilt, and many of them I've cut the bottoms off of to make into T-shirt yarn. It's a relatively easy process but it can be really hard on your hands to cut through all that material and to keep the "yarn" a somewhat consistent thickness. I made this little bag for holding coupons out of plastic yarn. © Sarah E. When you've made your yarn, you should know that it can be a little difficult to work with, but it's still a lot of fun for projects like this super-sturdy bag. Another kind of upcycled yarn is known as plarn or plastic yarn, which is made out of plastic shopping bags. Recycled silk yarn. © Sarah E. You can also purchase yarn that includes recycled materials.
