Waddle, waddle! Waddles Toque Pattern

Waddles Toque

...another little toque to go along with the Hoot Toque & the Twiga Toque...

Worked from the top down, seamlessly and in the round, Waddles is quick to knit and requires only minor embellishments to finish it off!  This is a fun toque to learn some new techniques and give as a gift.

Sizes Newborn, Baby, Toddler ,Child, Adult Medium & Adult Large.

A little bit of duplicate stitch is used to shape the eye arches and beak.  Buttons for eyes are too cute!  Pom poms accentuate the I-cord ties...

Loxley is SO happy to have a new toque as he outgrew his infamous Hoot Toque!!

$1 off pattern from November 20-22, 2013. Discount applied at checkout. Happy knitting!

“Toadstools & Tadpoles” is a whimsical baby set including a cardigan, bonnet & booties.

The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with a toadstool border along the bottom (either done in intarsia or duplicate stitch), and a “tadpole” cable pattern on the body. A cable is worked at the same time, along the front edge and incorporates buttonholes.

Remember this cute little Twiga?

Twiga Hoodie Pattern $6.00 -

I have had this pattern back for a while, but haven't had time to re-release it.

This jacket is knit with South West Trading Company's "Saphira"; a supersoft superwash 100% merino wool.  Delicious to knit with!

"Twiga Hoodie" features an asymmetrical front opening, spots are worked in intarsia, seamless, bottom-up construction.  Only a few stitches to graft together under the arms!

Mittens are knit separately, then one edge is sewn to the sleeve.  They flip up and can be buttoned to the sleeve to be out of the way.

"Twiga Hoodie" can now be purchased through Ravelry or here on the blog.

From Knit Picks Blanket & Jacket.

This is happening a little earlier than expected, due to family events. Testing went swimmingly and I met some very wonderful people through the process. Thank you, dear testers; I could not make this possible without YOU!

I present The Organic Seasons Blanket & Jacket Patterns.

The Jacket is knit seamlessly & flat from the bottom up.  The borders can be worked in duplicate stitching or intarsia.  There is a border motif option for each season. 

The body, sleeves & hood are worked in a soft wave pattern that is representative of years, the ocean, the wind.  Similar to the rungs on a tree. 

The front has a asymmetrical opening and the buttons bands are worked by picking up stitches.  Buttons or toggles will work beautifully.

The Jacket features a generous fit to be worn over clothing and to last more than one season.

Sizes available are 3 months to 10 years.

Knit Picks Swish Tonal Worsted was used for both the Jacket & the Blanket.  It is a superwash wool that is soft and luxurious. 

The Blanket is worked seamlessly, from the center out, in the wave pattern.  You have a choice of seasonal border motifs, which match the jacket.  Sizes are Lovie (23" x 23"), Stroller (34" x 34") & Crib (45" x 45").

One season can be worked across all four sides or a season per side.  The choice is yours.  The Blanket pattern features charts as well as written directions for the wave pattern.

Both patterns will be available through Knit Picks within the next few weeks, or you can purchase them now through the blog or Ravelry.  Both patterns are in imperial and metric measurements.

Twiga Hoodie

Knitcircus Issue #15, Fall 2011 can be see here!

Some of you had some pretty close guesses; pullover, hat, fair isle. The part of my design that I asked you to guess on was the inside of the hood!

Twiga Hoodie is a giraffe hoodie with mittens that can be turned back while not in use.

Yarn: South West Trading Company, "Saphira", bulky weight; fun and fast to knit up!

Before I sent off my sample, I made Loxley be my model :)  He just didn't want to do it!

The mittens are stitched on the the cuffs at the back of the mitten, then they can be flipped up and buttoned onto the sleeve.  Those mitts will NOT get lost!

I will announce the winners tomorrow, so please check back here if you don't hear from me :)

Happy Knitting!
