I did these two widdle wabbits, the blue one is for Jet & the orange one is for a friend's new little bub. The pattern is one of lincrafts handouts & i used the recommended yarn which is lincrafts fairy floss:
I made this beanie & scarf for a friend for Christmas. I bought this yarn ages ago to make her something with cause she loves blue, its from lincraft, think its called Heather? I only got two balls of it cause i was just new to knitting then & i was only planning on knitting a scarf, but i know shed like a beanie so i wanted to make her both. The beanie took up most of one ball so i had to do the scarf out of one & a bit. I knitted that ball of yarn 3 times trying to get the pattern right. First i did a ribbed scarf (stupid i know cause it takes up more yarn) then i did the pattern i used in the end but i did to wide so i made it thinner & did it on fatter needles (9mm). Here they are with me modelling (using the term very loosely) them:
& heres a close up of the pattern, not that you can really see it. Basically you just have to cast on 14 stitches (or any multiple of 3 + 2 extra) then k1 *k1 yo k2tog & repeat from * to the last stitch then k1. Cast off after you've reached your desired length & thats it.
The beanie pattern was really simple, its from the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts which has quite a few fab patterns in it. The beanie pattern has lots of variations but i just did the basic rolled brim variety.
