Seed Stitch Wrist Warmers





Seed Stitch Wrist Warmers

I always loved the wrist warmers people wore on TV, and they inspired me to create this pattern. The seed stitch wrist warmers are knitted from the top down, NOT side to side. When finishing the project, make sure to match up the two longer sides rather than the two short ends.

Materials
-1 skein of yarn (I used worsted weight)
-Size #8 knitting needles

-Tape measure or ruler

-Crochet hook or darning needle

-Scissors


Pattern (Make 2)
Cast on 24 st.
Row 1: k1, p1 until end of row

Row 2: p1, k1 until end of row

Repeat these two patterns until piece measures 7 in.

Cast off.


Finishing
Fold over the knitted piece matching up the two longer sides. Using a crochet hook or darning needle, sew the edge, leaving a 1 1/2 in. hole 1 1/2 in. from the one end. Do the same with the second piece and weave in ends. Enjoy!

Simple Knit Bandana




Simple Knit Handkerchief

This handkerchief is ideal for beginner knitters who just want something different to knit. The pattern provided is made for a solid color handkerchief, but the one in the picture has a pink stripe because I did not have enough yarn to finish it in purple. This can be done, if desired, by changing yarn while knitting your project. Enjoy!

Materials
-
1 skein of yarn (i used wool
- Size #8 knitting needle
- Crochet hook or darning needle
- Scissors

Pattern
Cast on 60 st., leave a tail 12 in. long.
Row 1: k1, k2tog, k until last 3 st., k2tog, k1
Row 2: knit
Repeat these two rows until there are 4 st. on needle.
Next Row: knit
Next Row: k2tog (2x)
Next Row: k2tog
Cast off.

Finishing
Weave in all ends except tail. Cut a piece of yarn 12 1/2 in. long and triple knot it to the other point. Put on your head and enjoy!
