Knitted Kitteh

Awww! Look at the little kitteh! It's rather adorable isn't it? I knitted this little fellow for my friend Beth. It is an incredibly easy pattern both to knit and to sew up. I made the entire thing in less than two hours. Awesome eh?  


Here's a link to the pattern if you would like to try it out! It's so very quick and easy that I would strongly recommend it. I used googley eyes and a little heart button for the nose but there are other ways of doing his face as you can see here. It's a very versatile pattern and you could quickly and easily make a whole family of kittehz. Oh yes.


This pattern is perfect for beginners. Aside from a little bit of shaping for the head, it's just straight up knitting. It's great if you're new to knitting and want to graduate beyond the scarf. Take the leap I say, knit a cat!

                                         

                                     

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far and enjoying the summer sunshine!

Sharing The Love




Here are a set of fantastic little hearts. They are ready to radiate lots of love and make you or someone dear have moments of heart-skippy happiness. The challenge is on you to knit them. Should you choose to accept... I have provided the pattern!
I got the pattern from a wonderful blog called Mochimochi Land. Give it a glance when you get a chance, it'll be worth your while!

Here goes:


Abbreviations:

CO = cast on

BO = bind off

st = stitch

k = knit

p = purl
kfb = knit into front and back of stitch (to make 2 stitches where there was 1)

k2tog = knit 2 stitches together

p2tog = purl 2 stitches together

rep = repeat

Pattern starts here!
CO 2 st

row 1: kfb, k to last st, kfb

row 2: p 1 row

rep these 2 rows 6 times total (14 st)
row 3: k2 tog, k5 and turn, leaving remaining 7 st on the needle

row 4: p2tog, p2, p2tog
BO 4 st, cut a long piece of yarn (about 10″) and weave through back of piece to reattach to other side (where you left off when turning)

row 5: k5, k2tog
row 6: p2tog, p2, p2tog
BO 4 st
Repeat the above pattern for opposite side of heart.

Good luck to all my knit-wits!
Thanks to Anita Murphy for the photo.
