I get asked a lot if my flapper style baby hat pattern could be made available in larger sizes for adults, well I have finally got around to making this happen. It is available through my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/109859302/flapper-style-cloche-hat-knitting" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flapper-style-cloche-hat" target="_blank">Ravelry</a>. Knit in 8 ply and circulars it is a quick knit and you can use your imagination as to how to finish your flower.<br />

I love using vintage buttons but I do offer instructions for adding a knitted centre if that is what you would prefer.<br />

The leg is made longer than I usually do for a womans sock and a few stitches added for the calves but once again this can be varied to suit.<br /><br />Materials:<br />1 x 100g ball Opal Sock Wool<br />1 set of dpns size 2.5mm (or what is needed to get correct tension)<br /><br />Tension:<br />36 stitches to 10cms (9 stitches to 1 inch in width).<br /><br />abbreviations:<br />k - knit<br />p - purl<br />psso - pass slip stitch over<br /><br />Using dpns size 2.5mm cast on 70 sts, join and work in the round.

Divide the remaining sts on to two needles and leave for the instep.<br />Work 31 rows on heel sts as follows:<br />row 1. slip 1 stitch purlways, purl to end of the row<br />row 2. slip 1 stitch knitways, *knit, slip 1 stitch knitways, rep from * to the end of the row.<br /><br />TURN HEEL<br />k19, k2tog, k1, turn<br />p6, p2tog, p1, turn<br />k7, k2tog, k1, turn<br />p8, p2tog, p1, turn<br />continue in this way, until all stitches are worked on to one needle. (20sts)<br /><br />Using set of 4 needles, knit 10 sts. (thus completing the heel), slip all instep stitches on to one needle again. Taking another needle, knit remaining 10 sts. of heel, knit up 17 sts at the side of the heel, knitting one extra (18sts in total) in the corner to avoid that dreaded corner hole.<br />With a second needle, knit across instep stitches.<br />With a third needle, knit up 1 stitch in the corner to avoid the dreaded corner hole, knit up 17 sts at the side of the heel (18 sts in total) and remaining 10 sts of heel.<br /><br />Knit 1 round, remembering to knit the corner sts together on needle 1 and 3(the extra two stitches that was knitted up previously to avoid the hole).<br /><br />SHAPE INSTEP<br />1st round: - 1st needle, knit to last 4 sts., k2tog, <span style="color:#ff0000;">k2</span>; 2nd needle, knit; third needle, k2, slip 1, k1, psso, knit to the end of the needle.<br />2nd round: - knit<br />Repeat these 2 rounds until 64 sts remain in the round.<br /><br />Continue without shaping until foot measures 19 cms (7 1/2 inches) (from where sts were knitted up at side of heel).<br /><br />SHAPE TOE<br />1st round - 1st needle, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1; 2nd needle, k1, slip 1, k1, psso, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1; 3rd needle, k1, slip 1, k1, psso, knit to end of needle.<br />2nd round - knit.</div><div id="ms__id877"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Repeat these 2 rounds until 20 sts remain</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">.

I used 8ply Bendigo Wool on 3.75mm needles. As there is copyright on this pattern you are going to have to go buy the book, but I can pass on to you the tail as that bit I added myself, as a pig has to have a curly tail. The tail is made as follows:<br /><br />Cast on loosely 10 sts<br />Row 1 (k1, k1 tbl, k1) in each stitch across<br />Row 2 Cast off purlwise.<br />Twist into shape, and there you have a little tail.<br /><br />My knitting blog can be found <a href="http://shazknit.blogspot.com">here.</a><br />My Etsy shop can be found <a href="http://shazzasknits.etsy.com">here.</a>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859667986757642982noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15066294.post-1139136025222379632006-02-06T14:15:00.003+11:002008-07-17T20:28:24.675+10:00MUSE HAT<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/683/783/1600/blogpics%20025.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/683/783/400/blogpics%20025.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I love crocheted hats but unfortunately I cannot crochet. Many years ago I remember knitting a jacket which had a stitch pattern that looked just like crochet so after sorting through my old pattern books I found the pattern and used it to make my Muse Hat. Why Muse you ask? It reminds me of the hats that the beautiful wives / girlfriends of famous musicians and artists were always pictured wearing in my mums New Idea magazines during the '60s and '70's, complete with the false eyelashes and long hair. It is being modelled here by my DD, who loves the hat so I think I will have to knit myself another one.<br /><br />Materials:<br />2 x 50gram balls of Cleckheaton Natural 12ply<br />5.5mm circular needles (40cm length)<br />1 x set 5.5mm double pointed needles<br />1 stitch marker<br /><br />Tension:<br />16sts per 10cm in moss stitch (k1, p1 rib)<br /><br />Using 5.5mm circulars cast on 69 sts, join and place a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.<br />Round 1: k1, p1, repeat to the end of the round.<br />Round 2: p1, k1, repeat to the end of the round.<br />Continue working in moss stitch as established, 4 more rows (6 rows in all).<br />Begin pattern:<br />Round 1: k1* yfwd, k2tog, repeat from * to the end of the round.<br />Round 2: knit.<br />Round 3: *sl 1, k1, psso, yfwd, rep from * to last stitch, k1.<br />Round 4: knit.<br /><br />Last 4 rows form pattern, work in pattern until work measures 12cms from cast on edge, ending with a round 4.<br /><br />Next row k2tog, knit to last 2 stitches of the round, k2tog (67 sts)<br /><br />You can change to double pointed needles now or later when there are too few stitches for the circulars.<br /><br />Crown Shaping:<br />k1, *k4, k2tog, repeat from * to end of round.<br />knit 1 round.<br />k1, *k3, k2tog, repeat from * to end of round.<br />knit 1 round.<br />k1, *k2, k2tog, repeat from * to end of round.<br />knit 1 round.<br />k1, *k1, k2tog, repeat from * to end of round.<br />knit 1 round.<br />*k2tog, repeat from * to last stitch, k1. <br /><br />Cut a long tail of yarn and thread onto a darning needle and thread through all the remaining stitches and pull up tightly as you go.

Repeat this row until 4 stitches remain, cast off. Sew your cast on and cast off tails in and voila a facewasher.<br /><br />I wrap one of these up with a nice soap or foam wash and you have a nice present for someone special.<br /><br />Now if you would like to make a simple baby blanket or throw, just use this same pattern with whatever yarn you like and then look through any stitch pattern guide and find a nice lace pattern using about 6 - 10 sts and make it the length that when slightly stretched it will fit around the edge of the blanket and then sew it on. Or if you are one of those clever people who can crochet, you can make a nice trim around the edge. Bendigo Woollen mills 8ply machine washable yarn works well for baby blankets.<br /><br />My knitting blog can be found <a href="http://shazknit.blogspot.com">here</a><br />My Etsy shop can be found <a href="http://shazzasknits.etsy.com">here.</a>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859667986757642982noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15066294.post-1123056205136926972005-08-03T18:00:00.002+10:002008-07-17T20:25:26.623+10:00SHAZZAS SOCKS<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/683/783/1600/blogpic%200072.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/683/783/320/blogpic%20007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />1 100 gram ball Opal sock wool<br />1 set 2.75mm double pointed sock needles (I am a tight knitter so this size needle suits, if you are a loose knitter, use 2.25mm)<br /><br />This is a ladies medium fitting sock.<br /><br />Using No. 2.75 needles, cast on 64 sts. Divide sts on 3 needles (20 - 24 - 20).
