Pop top Mittens Adult Size

I enjoyed knitting this pattern so much, after making two children size pair, I decided to adapt the pattern for an adult size pair.  They fit me perfectly, but they are a gift, so perhaps I will knit another pair for me.

The pattern is from SSKnits and is easy and well written.

Advent Scarf 2014

Every year there is a mystery KAL  through Revelry for an Advent scarf.  When a knitter signs up to be part of the KAL directions for a section of the scarf is sent each morning starting December 1, and if knitted, by Christmas the knitter will have created a beautiful sampler type scarf.  This year I decided to accept the challenge.

Scarf and Pop Top Mittens

Miss A.  really liked the swirl hat I knit for her and asked if I could make "pop top" mittens and a scarf to match. Of course ....

I always wanted to try mittens that fold back into fingerless, but thought they would be difficult. To my surprise, they were easy and fun to make.

Mock Cable Rib Stitch Prayer Shawl

This pattern by Louis Chicquette is easy and fun to knit. It is the second of his prayer shawl designs I have knit with many more yet to attempt.

Swirled Ski Cap

I knit this cap for my granddaughter; I hope she likes it!

The pattern, Swirled Ski Cap,  is from Caps for Kids.

I used Lion Brand's Caribbean, Tweed Stripes yarn and a size 6 needle.  This hat was quick, easy and fun to make. I think it will go well with her new down jacket.
