I've been waiting to do some sort of Aspen pattern for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity to design a sweater for him. The sweater is knit from thick roving, so it takes very little time to whip up. It is knit flat and seamed to give it shape. A shawl collar finishes it off. Stay tuned for the matching toque pattern, which I'll post just as soon as I can do a little photo shoot.

This pattern has been a long time coming. I first designed it last fall, but when I had finished knitting it up, the armholes were much too small! Heartbreak! It took me a year before I was ready to pull it all apart and start knitting again. I changed the design around a bit and now I am so happy with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my favourite animals to encounter in the winter woods are Snowshoe Hares. They've shed their summer greys and browns and put on a coat of pure white. They would blend in perfectly with the snow, if not for some tiny accents of black on their ears and their black eyes. I wanted to design a sweater that would reflect this beautiful creature for my daughter. The pattern is sized for a 12-18 month-old. My daughter is nearly 17 months old now, and about average size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This sweater features puffed sleeves, a gathered, moss stitch skirt with an empire waist bodice, and a hood with ears.</div>

Fold in the bottom two corners into the middle and sew onto hood this

then tack them part of the way up to the hood, so they stand up
straight.</div>

My Cedar baby needed a new shawl to wear to match those baby blues. And so, here is my latest creation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pUo4w0RKj5yCbDWkMVfXXYYkXUrPCOIBnfP85eZsEXJK-o7Qe0a7Lwx0ZEemm_Ot5gdId8sFAh1C7CwrgaT0LG2HIeULEHk5bah_E9J7ilL8ZLnGPviIom1Ep89r0rUASPkWmkWEy3M/s1600/P3200231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pUo4w0RKj5yCbDWkMVfXXYYkXUrPCOIBnfP85eZsEXJK-o7Qe0a7Lwx0ZEemm_Ot5gdId8sFAh1C7CwrgaT0LG2HIeULEHk5bah_E9J7ilL8ZLnGPviIom1Ep89r0rUASPkWmkWEy3M/s1600/P3200231.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
This beautiful shawl is designed to fit babies from around 10 months -18 months. It is knit by holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together. The garter stitch gives it wonderful texture and keeps the shawl from curling. A double increase in the centre of the shawl leaves a delicate pattern up the back.<br />

Little Red Riding Hood/ Christmas Hood<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knitting pattern time! This one I made for Halloween, but it can also double for Christmas too. Who doesn't need a bright red cape and hood? This is a one-size fits all type of pattern. My almost-5-month-old daughter is wearing it in the pictures and I tried it on my two-year-old son as well and it fits nicely. </div>

Cast on 90st in cc1(white) on 5mm circular needles and join in the round, placing a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each new row.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Row 1: *k5, on the right needle, slip 2nd st from left over the first st, then the 3rd st over the 1st, then the 4th over the 1st, and then the 5th over the first, leaving just one st on the right needle, yo* Repeat * to * a total of 18 times.</div>

Switch to main colour (Berry Red)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knit until the red portion of the cape measures 3" long (if you are knitting this for a 2 or 3 year old, consider adding an inch or two of length at this part).</div>

Now the hood is going to be worked flat. Instead of continuing to work in the round, turn your work, k2, purl until 2 from the end, k2.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continue to work in stockinette st, with the first and last two stitches of each row always knit (garter st) until the hood measures 9.5" long from where it splits from the cape (add and inch or two for sizes 2T-3T). Turn the hood inside out and fold in half, doing a 3 needle bind off to seam the top of the hood together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Weave in ends and block the hood.</div>

Life at the beaver lodge just got a whole lot cuter! Here is my latest edition to my woodland animals knitting patterns: the Beaver Kit! Who wouldn't love an adorable little baby beaver kit? This pattern is knit using extra chunky yarn, so it takes very little time to complete. This ensemble is modelled by my almost 3 month-old baby girl. It probably fits babies in the 0-3month range, maybe stretching into 4 or 5 months of age.<br />

I created this pattern for my newborn so she could have something nice and soft to wear in the hospital and at home. The hat features a delightful little leaf sprouting from the top like a sapling. The scratch mitts are intended to keep those sharp little newborn nails from scratching that soft newborn skin. The scratch mitts start with one repeat of lace for a nice decorative edge.</div>

I wanted to let you know that I have decided to remove this pattern. This pattern was made to look like a traditional First Nation's style sweater from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. The truth is, that it is not fair for me to be posting this pattern. While I have not profited from this pattern at all, it may be taking away revenue from the traditional makers of this style of sweater, and that is not fair of me to do. I am sorry for any harm that this may have caused. Thank you for all your interest in this pattern. If you are still looking to knit something similar, please look for a pattern provided by the original creators of this style! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Halloween is coming in a month and it is time for another knitting pattern. This year my little guy is going to be a stag for Halloween and I designed this cute little hat for his costume. I now have two hat sizes available, but if either hat size doesn't work for your needs, you could always use a different hat pattern and just add the ears and antlers for your hat.<br />

Or as I like to call it, a "Showl". This is my latest knitting pattern, inspired by a beautiful shawl/cowl/infinity scarf that a lady in town wove. This "showl" is a great in-between season accessory and looks great with a light coat or sweater to add a little extra warmth. </div>

The texture of this "showl" is lovely, the linen stitch gives it the appearance of being woven and the reverse side feels so luxurious.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Notes: </b>This "showl" is cast on using an open/invisible cast-on and then joined to the end using kitchener stitch to make a continuos loop. The seam is still somewhat visible though, and if doing an open cast-on is intimidating for you, go ahead and use your regular cast-on method and sew up the two ends in whatever way works best for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cast on 60 stitches using the invisible or open cast-on method.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Work in linen stitch until "showl" measures 6 feet long. Linen stitch pattern is as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*k1, yfwd, sl1, ybk* until 2 stitches remain. k2</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*p1,ybk, sl1, yfwd* until 2 stitches remain. p2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When shawl/cowl measures 6 feet long, place the open cast-on stitches on a needle as well, twist the shawl/cowl in one full twist (like an infinity scarf) and join the two edges in kitchener stitch to make one continuos loop. Weave in ends. Wrap that "showl" around you and revel in its softness and warmth with a mind at ease, knowing that you didn't have to sacrifice comfort for style.</div>

I live in a small town that was established by the fur trade over 200 years ago and this hat is a throwback to those times.<br />
This hat is knit flat, but can easily be knit in the round if that is what you like best.<br />

There should be 11st remaining. Break off yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread tail through the remaining loops (pulling them off the needle) and pull tightly in a circle. Fasten. Sew up side, weave in ends. Make a pompom for the top and sew in place. Tada! </div>

This is a conceptual knitting pattern that will look different for everyone who knits it. In this pattern, you record the day's highest temperature by knitting one row in the colour designated for each temperature. At the end of the year, you will have a visual colourful graph of the temperatures of your area for a whole year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Start by casting on 35 stitches in white and knit 5 rows, working in garter stitch. After that, knit one row a day, in the colour you have chosen to represent your temperature groupings.<br />

Knit two rows in white at the start of each month, if you would like to keep track of the separate months.<br />

At the end of the year, knit another 5 rows in white. Bind off, weave in ends, and you are done! I think this would also look nice in a monochromatic colour scheme. Hmmm, something to try next year? I am excited to see how mine turns out!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02437225935361796925noreply@blogger.com102tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034644132803192987.post-68902987488708568612012-10-21T10:44:00.001-07:002020-09-20T20:46:48.430-07:00Nutbrown Gnome Hat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night I knit Kesten a little hat using <a href="http://400squareftliving.blogspot.ca/2010/12/knitting-childs-forest-pixie-hat.html" target="_blank">my pattern here</a>. Instead of a Forest Pixie Hat, I'll call it a Nutbrown Gnome Hat. Instead of knitting a chin strap, I knit two cords to tie under the chin. Pretty Cute!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Cast on 56st on your 6mm straight needles.<br />
<br />
First row: k1, p1, repeat to end<br />
second row: k1, p1, repeat to end<br />
<br />
Repeat these two rows 7 more times, ending on a wrong side row.<br />
Next row: Begin to knit in stockinette stitch. Continue in stockinette stitch until hat measures 8 inches from the beginning.<br />
Decreasing:<br />
First row: k6, k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Second row: purl<br />
Third row: k5, k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Fourth row: purl<br />
Fifth row: k4, k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Sixth row: purl<br />
Seventh row: k3, k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Eight row: purl<br />
Ninth row: k2, k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Tenth row: p2tog, p1, repeat to end<br />
Eleventh row: k2tog, repeat to end<br />
Twelfth row: p2tog, p2tog, p2tog, p1<br />
<br />
Cut yarn leaving a 6 inch tail. Weave end of yarn through the remaining four loops on your needle, pull loops off needle, pulling them tightly together and secure the end of your yarn. Sew up the sides of the hat, making sure that the first 2 inches or so of the ribbing is sewn with the right sides together, so that any seam will be hidden when the ribbing is folded over. Add a button and/or pom pom if desired. And have fun wearing this cozy hat!<br />

Time for a new knitting pattern! This one I designed for my little boy's Halloween costume. Since we have a lot of foxes in the Fort, I thought it would be cute if he dressed like one. I only have one size available for the hat, if you require a bigger size, you could always use any other plain hat pattern and then attach the ears on top.<br />

This pattern includes both knitting and crochet, although you could easily forgo the crochet part and make the eyes and beak out of felt instead. Make sure you measure your child's head circumference and choose the size that fits closest. I do not have a child at home to measure the sizes by, and every child has a very different sized head. Use the gauge to determine if you need to add or subtract a few stitches to make the hat fit your child better.<div><br /></div><div><b>Yarn</b>: I used a chunky weight yarn in brown tweed for the main part of the hat (unfortunately it is a thrift store find, so I don't know the name or amount, but each size hat uses less than an average sized skein). I also used a small amount of chunky weight yarn in black, white, and orange for the eyes and beak.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Needles and hooks</b>: The main body of the hat is knit using 5mm double pointed needles or circular needles. The crocheted eyes and beak use 5mm (H/8) hook.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Gauge</b>: 3st = 1inch in stockinette stitch</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sizes</b>: Small [newborn to 5 months, roughly 15 inch head circumference], (Medium [6 months to a year, 16-17inches], Large [a year to 2 years, 17-19 inches]). The sizes will be written in the pattern as follows: S(M, L).<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Abbreviations</b>:</div><div>ch: chain</div><div>dec: decrease (for crochet)</div><div>dpns: double pointed needles</div><div>k: knit</div><div>k2tog: Knit two stitches together</div><div>p: purl</div><div>sc: single crochet</div><div>ssk: slip, slip, knit (individually slip 2 stitches knitwise and knit them together)</div><div>st: stitch</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Pattern:</b></div><div>Hat:</div><div>With 5mm dpns or circular needles, cast on 40st(50, 58) in brown yarn and join in the round, being careful not to twist work.</div><div>Row1: knit 1, purl 1 around.

<span style="text-align: left;">Hello everyone. I wanted to let you know that I have decided to remove this pattern. This pattern was made to look like a traditional First Nation's style from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. The truth is, that it is not fair for me to be posting this pattern. While I have not profited from this pattern at all, it may be taking away revenue from the traditional makers of this style, and that is not fair of me to do. I am sorry for any harm that this may have caused. Thank you for all your interest in this pattern. If you are still looking to knit something similar, please look for a pattern provided by the original creators of this style! </span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><br /></span></div>

I love the simplicity of this pattern and how adorable it looks when done. I knitted this hat using two strands of yarn together, giving it a very nice effect and added warmth. Using two strands of yarn at once isn't necessary, just make sure you have the proper gauge.<div><br /></div><div>Gauge is very important, so be sure to check it carefully. Use 4.5mm needles (straight) in stockinette stitch. 1inch x 1inch = 4 stitches x 5 rows.</div><div>I used two very thin yarns, one of acrylic and one a mohair mix (50g each). You could use just one yarn that is a little heavier (thicker).</div><div><br /></div><div> Sizes: Ok, I don't have a baby or child to try the sizes out on, so I am going by averages. If you are making it for a specific child, you could try to get their measurements to make it a more accurate fit. Just remember that 1 inch equals 4 stitches, so add or subtract the stitches necessary for fit.</div><div>6 months to a year: 15 inches in circumference (from under chin to top of forehead to under chin again) </div><div>1 year: 16 inches</div><div>2 years: 18 inch circumference</div><div>4 years: 19 inch circumference</div><div>6 years: 20 inch circumference</div><div><br /></div><div>With 4.5mm needles, cast on 60 stitches (64, 72, 76, 80)</div><div>1st row: Knit 2, purl 2 to end</div><div>2nd row: Make button hole: Knit2together, yo, continue in ribbing pattern to end. *(note: I made a larger buttonhole for the buttons that I used. k2tog, yo, yo, p2tog. It is just trickier to knit and purl in 2 yo's in a row in the next row)*</div><div>3rd row: Continue in ribbing pattern until last 4 stitches, knit 2, purl 1 in yo, purl 1 in final st. (just keepin' the same pattern going)</div><div>Continue in ribbing pattern of knit2 purl2 until a total of 8 (8,10,10,12) rows have been completed from the beginning.</div><div>Now for some stockinette stitching!</div><div>1st row: Knit to end</div><div>2nd row: knit 2, purl to last 2 stitches, knit 2 (use a stitch marker to mark these spots if you have a tendency like me to forget)</div><div>Repeat these last 2 rows (knitting the first and last two stitches of every row to make a garter stitch border) until the piece measures 6.5 inches (6.5", 7.5," 7.5", 8") long from the very beginning (including all the ribbing).( This is where it helps to have a child to measure on. When you get half-way through a row, fold the piece in half and pin the row you are working on together. If it can close while fitting over the child's head, then it is long enough.) Bind off when appropriate length is reached. Fold in half with wrong sides facing. Sew up the end that you just finished binding off.

Sew to the ribbed end that does not have the buttonhole.</div><div> Sew a button (Very securely!) to the end of the chin strap.
