 |
Softly
Scalloped Nightie. A simple
to knit, yet sophisticated looking nightgown. Soft for sleeping or
lounging, with a graceful, flowing skirt, adjustable waist, and loosely knit
eyelash top that easily adapts to different widths. |
 |
Hidden Heart Nightie. A snuggly soft nightgown with front tie panels
that cover an inset panel which reveals a lace heart and front side
slits hiding beneath, (that also makes it useful as a nursing gown!)
Adjustable straps tie along the back and adjust the width to fit.
Written in 5 sizes, and easily adjustable with ties when worn. |
|
 |
Garter Shell Lace
Wimple.
This dressy but practical head and neck covering starts with a
scalloped garter edge, then a simple shell lace with garter stitch for
the main body. The tube width is slowly narrowed for a snugger fit
around the head and face when worn up, and to sit neatly around the neck
when worn down. |
 |
Sure Fit Sampler Hat.
A simple to knit hat, worked in the round, or flat and sewn, with a
hidden ribbed band under the turned up cuff that helps the hat fit, and stay on.
Also looks wonderful in color-changing yarns, especially Noro's Kureyon and Silk
Garden, or with the sections knit in different solid color bands. |

Sweet and Simple
Swaddling Blanket. My specialty baby bunting blanket pattern. It's a
wonderful baby gift that is definitely one of a kind! It's a hooded baby
blanket that also folds up into a snuggly bunting held closed by a bottom
pocket, with the ease of large buttonhole in center back for infant car seat
belt use! |
 |
Julia's
Hat. Knit
sideways with short row wedges. Popcorn edges and top fringes are knit
on as you go, the only finishing is to sew the cast on to bind off edges
(or use a provisional cast on to graft the ends together for a no-seam
hat). Knit in variegated yarns for fun striping. |
 |
Kate's
Cape. A
little girl’s cape with lots of room for movement and play, that is
quick to knit using chunky brushed yarn that also gives lots of body and
warmth. Worked top-down with easy shaping, and a simple decorative
crochet scallop bind-off that gives extra-cute girl appeal. |

| Sock and Slipper Patterns |

|
|
Spiral Rib Kilt Hose.
Traditional men’s
kilt hose worked in a worsted or medium weight sport yarn, with a simple
to work but fancy looking crossed stitch spiral rib worked around the
cuff and then in columns down each side of the leg. The spiral rib is
then split in half at the heel flap divide and worked as a two stitch
twist mock cable down the sides of the foot. Seed stitch rib columns are
worked down the leg, heel flap, and foot. |

Shapely
Secrets Socks. A sock pattern of tricks for shaping stockinette
stitch socks for a better, snugger fit to hug your legs and your ankles, but
without interrupting the stitch pattern of the self-patterning sock yarns.
Features special ankle stitch shaping and graduated top ribbing, and knit at
a good solid fabric gauge. A unique concept for those great patterned
sockyarns! |
 |
Popcorn
Lace Socks. Using ribbing in your socks doesn’t have
to be boring! These socks incorporate 3 steps of ribbing in their design,
using both lace and texture for visual interest as well as a comfortable
fit. |
 |
Hot Pocket Felted
Slippers. These felted wool slippers are quick to knit, and extra
warm. A pocket is added to the top of a basic beginner’s sock that holds a
felted wool pouch insert. The pouch is filled with dried rice or grains
before closing, and then it is micro waved and inserted into the slipper
pocket for long lasting warmth. Novelty yarn may be added to the cuffs and
pocket tops for fun effects after felting. (Shown here before and after
felting.) |
