Toddler
Felt Hat
You may have seen this adorable hat at our table at Knit-Out 2004. The
hat ws so popular that we ran out of patterns early on, but now you can
get one online!
If you prefer, you can download a print-friendly Word version of this pattern (1.2 MB).
Ribbon Poncho
This openwork poncho made with Deco ribbon yarn is elegant enough for
a special occasion. I made myself one to wear to a wedding.
Previous Patterns
Lace
Hair Kerchief
This is a great first lace project.You can use DK (double-knit)
or sport-weight cotton to make a nice little kerchief. You can also use
this pattern to make a shawl, using any yarn you like, by knitting until
you get the desired size.
To do this project, you will need to know how to do a slip 1 (Sl1), yarn over (YO) and a knit 2 together (K2tog) in addition to the usual knit, purl, cast-on and bind-off.

Melissa is a member of our knitting group who became a brand-new, shiny emergency medical technician just as the weather turned bitter cold! Because of this, I decided to make her a really warm hat that she could wear while she works. I used two skeins of Cascade Pastaza in navy blue. The ribbing makes the hat stretch or contract to fit just about anyone. |
Baby Fruit
Hat
This hat is designed to go with the popular raglan-sleeve
sweater pattern we sell in the shop. In fact, you can knit the hat out
of the leftover yarn from the sweater, plus a little DK-weight yarn in
green for the stems and leaves.
Directions are included here for both a grape and a blueberry hat.
Also included: instructions for making knitted cord.
Child’s
Sock Pattern
This is a great little sock for any child whose
feet are 6” long from heel to toe. You can get two pairs of anklets
out of one 50-gram ball of Regia or other fingering-weight sock yarn.
Eyelash-Yarn
Scarf
This is a scarf with a trick: It’s knit in
a tube so that it can be worn as a scarf or a cowl.
American
Flag
Here’s an easy pattern I came up with to
make a knitted flag. The stars are embroidered on at the end.
Fast Baby Mittens
This is a great little pattern when you need to
make a baby gift FAST!
