crocheted????
first I have to admit that I am no crocheter...well, I know the stitches and I know how to crochet
but I feel out of sorts when doing it.
I crochet with my right hand and maybe that's the key,
while being a lefty..
it's more a fight than a pleasure for me to do this
but anyway sometimes I like it,
I stumbled across this tutorial and immediately had to start to crochet
after the third attempt with the pattern it worked
sure, it was, like everyday, a fight against the fury in the cat
the idea was to create a little pouch
I started with 27 ch and followed the stitchpattern
for 7 rows
then seamed together the rectangles, leaving the top of them open
ready to be lined with some cotton I had on hand
a cute little zippered pouch :)
ready to leave
...
look at this wild, wild fur bearing animal
seconds later Mr. Rossi hooked his claws into my leg.....

knitting and cats....
he decided that I have to finish another project first....
not a bad idea, since there are only the sleeves left to finish twentyten
not a bad idea, since there are only the sleeves left to finish twentyten
OMG it's ready and it fits so well ;))))
did the sleeves in a hurry and steam blocked it
so I can wear it today!!
and the colour - what can I say - it's not the best choice to my skin,
but I liked it too much...
how lucky we are, to be able to knit such wonderful unique things!!!

ready
my new hat,
knitted a few more of these for friends, but never had time to take pics
so here is my very own one!!!
plain and simple with just enough slouch
worked with 2 yarns held together
brim worked flat in garter st
body of hat in rounds in stst
you will need about 150 m alpaca superlight and the same amount of merino 120
from LANG YARNS
circulars and dpns US size 8
and, if you like, pom-poms, buttons, embroidery thread, .....to embellish the little hat
see this post for inspiration
here is what I did:
gauge was 20 sts = 10 cm
headband:
CO 10 sts, work in garter st for 64
sew BO edge to CO edge to form a ring
pick up 96 sts around ring and join to knit in rounds
work in st st until body of hat measures 14 cm ( without band)
beg decreasing:
rnd 1: *k10, k2tog; rep from* to end
k 3 rnds
rnd 5: k4, k2tog, *k9, k2tog; rep from* to last 5 sts, k5
k 2 rnds
rnd 8: k2tog, *k8, k2tog; rep from* to last 8 sts, k8
k 1 rnd
rnd 10: k4, k2tog, *k7, k2tog; rep from* to last 3 sts, k3

k 1 rnd
rnd 14: *k1, k2tog; rep from* to end

rnd 15 + 16: k2tog around
cut yarn, leaving an end for sewing. draw through rem sts, pull up tightly
and weave in end.

hat in progress
working on a little slouchy hat
will try to get it ready and write the pattern ...
- two different yarns
- garter brim
- Stst body
will try to get it ready and write the pattern ...
new year, new blog
muse
a little shrug
you will need:
about 500 m bulky yarn to get gauge
7mm needles or size to get gauge
7mm dpns or size to get gauge
tapestry needle
gauge: 12 sts = 10 cm in double moss st
double moss st (or double seed st):
multiple of 4 sts
row 1: *k2, p2; repeat to end
row 2: *k2, p2; repeat to end
row 3: *p2, k2; repeat to end
row 4: *p2, k2; repeat to end
rep rows 1 - 4
garter st:
worked flat:
RS and WS k all sts
worked in rounds:
rnd 1: k all sts
rnd 2: p all sts
rep rnds 1 - 2
the main part of muse is knitted flat, shaped with shortrows, sts are picked up
for the ribbing, then you have to fold the piece in half and sew a few inches together,
sleeve sts are picked up to knit the sleeves in rounds, collar is worked seperately
then seamed to the fronts of the main part.
CO 78 sts and start working double moss st:
rows 1 + 4:
*k2, p2; rep to last 2 sts, k2
rows 2 + 3:
*p2, k2; rep to last 2 sts, p2
continue working rows 1 - 4 until work measures 40 cm from CO.
shortrow shaping:
RS: knit 30 sts in pattern, turn
WS: Sl 1, knit in pattern to end
RS: knit 28 sts in pattern, turn
WS: Sl 1, knit in pattern to end
RS: knit 26 sts in pattern, turn
WS: Sl 1, knit in pattern to end
continue working shortrows 5 times more
next row: knit in pattern to end
next row: knit 30 sts in pattern, turn
next row: Sl 1, knit in pattern to end
next row: knit 28 sts in pattern, turn
next row. Sl 1, knit in pattern to end
rep shortrows as you did on the other side
ending with a RS row
next row: BO all sts.
now we have to pick up sts for the ribbed bottom:
pick up and knit the middle 38 sts of the CO edge
work k1, p1 rib for a total of 8 rows
BO all sts.
next step is to sew the sides together:
fold piece to half, bring CO edge to BO edge to form a rectangle; leaving 14 cm open (measured from the fold) on both sides for armholes, sew sides together.
pick up sts to knit the sleeves:
pick up and knit 38 sts around armhole, join to knit in rounds.
knit in garter st to desired length, BO all sts.
work second sleeve to match
now pick up sts around fronts and neck,
k 3 rows Stst, BO all sts
CO 25 sts for collar and work back and forth in garter st until collar is long enough to match the fronts and neck. BO in pattern.
sew collar to the front opening, weave in ends and wear with proud.

circa 500 m di filato della grosseza per ottenere il campione
ferri 7
ferri 7 a doppie punte punte
o della misura necessaria ad ottenere il campione.
campione: 12 m = 10 cm a p riso doppio.
PUNTO RISO DOPPIO
multiplo di 4 m:
f 1: *2dir,2rov* ripetere per tutto il ferro
f 2: *lav le m come si presentano per tutto il ferro
f 1: *2dir,2rov* ripetere per tutto il ferro
f 2: *lav le m come si presentano per tutto il ferro
f3: lav al dir le m che si presentano al rov e viceversa
f4: lav le m come si presentano
rip sempre i ferri da 1 a 4.
legaccio:
lavorato in piano: tutti i ferri al dir
lavorato in tondo:1 ferro dir, 1 ferro rov.
La parte principale del corpo si lavora in piano facendo dei ferri
accorciati,le m sono riprese per fare le coste ,si piega poi il lavoro a
metà e si cuce ai lati per creare l'apertura degli scalfi
Si riprendono poi le m attorno agli scalfi con i ferri a d punte per lavorare la manica.
Il collo è lavorato a parte e poi cucito alla parte centrale del corpo.
Credo che se si riprendono le m ai lati PRIMA di cucire, si possono evitare i ferri a d punte.
Montare 78m e lav a p riso doppio:
ferri 1 e 4:
*2dir,2rov,rip fino alle ultime 2m, 2 dir.
ferri 2 e 3:
*2 rov,2dir,rip e finire con 2 rov.
lav in questo modo fino a 40 cm
FERRI ACCORCIATI
dir del lav: lav 30 m a p riso doppio, girare il lavoro(lasciando in attesa il resto delle m)
rov del lav: passare 1m ,finire il ferro.
dl: lav 28m,girare
rl: passare 1m, finire il ferro
dl: lav 26m, girare
rl: pass 1m finire il ferro
continuare a lav a ferri accorciati altre 5 volte.
f succ: lavorare tutto il ferro a p riso d.
f succ: lav 30m, girare
f succ: passare 1m finire il ferro
f succ: lav 28m, girare.
f succ:passare una m,finire il ferro.
rip la lavorazione a ferri accorciati come fatto per l’altra parte finendo al dir del lav.
Al f succ chiudere tutte le m.
Ora riprenderemo le m per la parte a coste del fondo:
riprendere e lav al dir le 38m centrali del ferro di montaggio
lav a coste 1/1 per 8 ferri,poi chiudere.
ora cuciamo i lati
piegare il lavoro a metà nel senso della lunghezza ,portare il
ferro di montaggio sul f di chiusura,a formare un rettangolo;cucire le
parti laterali lasciando 14 cm per lo scalfo(misurati dalla piegatura) .
Se non usate i ferri a doppie punte, non cucite.
riprendere le m per fare le maniche:
riprendere e lav al dir 38m attorno allo scalfo e lav a legaccio fino alla lunghezza desiderata, poi chiudere.
Ripetere per l’altra manica
ora riprendiamo le m attorno i davanti e il collo,lav 3 ferri a m rasata poi chiudere.
Montare 25m per il colloe lav a legaccio fino a raggiungere la
lunghezza necessaria di davanti e collo,poi chiudere (sul rov del lav
lavorando dir)
Cucire il collo al davanti ,nascondere i fili. this pattern is for personal use only
