KNITTING

KNITTED BUNNIES from

http://Josoandsew.wordpress.com

Ohh, time flies... My son is old enough now to go to kindergarten. So I started looking for some nice ideas for his farewell gift for all his friends in daycare ;-)

It had to be easy, quick and cheap to make. Because I had to make 35 of them ;-)

I found what I looked for on http://Josoandsew.wordpress.com, a nice tutorial for knitted bunnies.

1) first knit a square.

    - for the little one I took 30 stitches

    - for the big one I took 50 stitches

2)  - sew a triangle from the middle to the top and back. Pull the thread. This way you have the ears and the head. Stuff the head.

     - then sew the back, stuff it, and finish the tail.

3) instead of a pompon for the tail, I made a label. On the label I wrote the name of his friend and on the other side I wrote my son's name.

4) Between the ears I made a ribbon with a key ring 

5) I put a little bag with some candies on the key ring

6) I put them all together   

7) Then I wrapped them 

KNITTED CARDIGAN!!!!

A skirt we already have. A nice crocheted one with a beautiful flower ;-)

This time I felt more like knitting... 

First knit 10 plain lines (set up as many stitches as you need for a collar), and then knit 5 lines plain, and 5 lines purl, etc  and every line add one stitch every 5 stitches. And keep following this procedure until the cardigan is long enough.

On the collar I put a button to close the jumper. And I used the crocheted flower as buttonhole.

AND NOW THE SHOW!!!
