The Patterns
If Six Was Nine
This
charming eyelet cowl designed by Beth Theuring will make a lovely gift. It may
be made in a variety of yarn weights, from fingering to bulky and on a variety
of loom gauges and sizes. Adding repeats is as easy as one, two, three!
Sunny Day Spa Set
Brenda
Myers has put together a collection of four patterns for this exquisite spa
set. Packed with the technique Brenda is famous for, these are sure to be your
new favorite gifts.
Sunny Day Basket: A beautiful,
seamless design made to fit over a simple food storage container, this basket
is not only practical, it has a brilliant construction.
Sunny Day
Backscrubber: The
clever design of this scrubber results in an intricate look, but do not tell –
it is just i-cord and loops. Only Brenda could have thought of it.
Sunny Day Turban: An increase here, a
decrease there, and you will have the perfect after-bath turban. This pattern
is jam-packed with technique, but knit stitches and e-wraps do all of the work.
Sunny Day Facial
Scrubby:
It seems a shame to call these little beauties scrubbies. With their picot
edging they make beautiful doilies, coasters and jar toppers. Fast and easy,
these are sure to be your new favorites.
Panda Earflap Hat for
Kiddos
So
cute you will want to make one for the kiddos you know and the big kid in you
as well. Kathy Norris has designed a simple yet stylish panda hat. Pom poms
dangle on long i-cords below the earflaps, while panda eyes and ears charm you
from above.
Aquariolis
Practical
lace. Janet Rekesius has taken the most practical of items, a bottle carrier,
and made it a special gift with lacy fabric. Customize your carrier for large
or small bottles, and you are off and running.
Just a Duck Hat
The
sweet simplicity of Kathy Norris’s baby duck hat will charm you and the little
ones you make it for. As Kathy says: “Because every baby deserves a duck hat.”
Lava Lamp
The
colorwork and short row shaping of this sideways knit hat is going to intrigue
you, and the pattern will delight you. Janet Rekesius has written a stunning
pattern you will want to make over and over again.
Checkers for Tea
A
tea cozy that wants to be a hat, perhaps? This cozy looks complicated, but the
checkers are worked in a simple slip stitch fashion because Renee Van Hoy likes
to keep things easy. A tucked ribbed base helps the cozy stand up, and the
double stranded interior keeps things nice and warm. Best of all, it may be
made on any loom with a multiple of four.
Snugglebug Slipper
Socks
You
are going to love Snugglebugs from Heather Lynn. Made on a 24 peg large gauge
loom, these chunky slipper socks have three sizes and are easily customized to
fit the ones you love. A clever bind off closes the toe without a seam.
Half & Half
Scrubby
When
you need a fast, useful and pretty gift, Heather Lynn’s little scrubby cloth is
the perfect answer. A blend of cottons and scrubby yarns, you can use one half
for your dishes, the other half for scrubbing your pans. Try it in the bath,
too, instead of a loofa.
Seamlessly Cute Bears
Scarlett
Royale has designed teddy bears for the little one in your life. Made on any
gauge loom with 24 pegs, this sweet pattern uses short rows to shape the arms,
legs, tail, head and ears without a single seam.
Shetland Islands Cowl
Great
big chunky cables make this cowl stand out. It comes in two sizes, with the
smaller making a perfect one skein project. Renee Van Hoy’s easy on the hands
cable method makes the cables a breeze. An added plus, it works with a number
of different peg counts.
Handle Cozy
For
every time your hands have ached, Paula Maloney has designed a clever and
practical solution – a loom knit padded handle cozy. Customize it for your
broom, bicycle, or pan, and keep your hands and those of your loved ones
cushioned and protected.
Star Point Hat
Peggy
Overbey has designed a unique sideways knit hat with a surprise on the top –
lace star points. You may knit this with the top open for a pony tail, or
stitch the points closed to show off the beautiful star design.
Star Point Scarf
A
companion to the Star Point Hat, Peggy Overbey’s scarf takes the star point
lace and creates a stunning scarf with short row lace edging. Together they
make a beautiful gift set.
Little Lace Flounce
Renee
Van Hoy’s sweet shawlette has a wide lace flounce all around the edges. Worked
in DK weight yarn on a 5/8 inch gauge loom, it is a fun and chunky lace that
knits up quickly. There are also notes for making a full sized shawl. Perfect
for the bride in your family.
Vertigo Lines Hat
Kathy
Norris has a talent for designing striking colorwork patterns that are
incredibly simple to make, and this hat is no exception. Worked using only one
color at a time, and using simple slip stitches, Vertigo Lines is fast, easy
and stunning. Any loom divisible by four may be used.
Vertigo Lines Scarf
Complementing
the Vertigo Lines Hat, Kathy Norris has designed this scarf using the same
clever and easy color work and slip stitch techniques. The chunky scarf and hat
set are a wonderful gift for someone special.
Teatime Washcloth
A
little picture cloth is just the ticket when you need a fast gift. Renee Van
Hoy has designed a pretty teapot cloth using textured stitches that help the
picture stand out from the background. Every step of the pattern is written
out, but there is also a color-coded chart for reference.
