I had a lot of bulky wool blend yarn at home, but nothing to knit with it. So I whipped up these Chubby Cat Hats to be donated to charity! Here's the pattern to them for you.

Ribbed Moss Ripple Socks

Another free knitting pattern from Worsted Knitt! I'm getting the hang of this :)

 

This sock pattern is perfect for self-striping and self-patterning yarn. It can be so boring knitting plain stockinette socks with these yarns, but any complex pattern will not show in the striped yarn, or it will just look bad and messy. This simple moss stitch rib doesn't disturb the colours, but makes the sock more interesting to work on and to look at.

Lacey Bubblegum Punk Mitts

Lacey Bubblegum Mitts

I was making more fingerless mittens for sale for my local animal shelter autumn market and came up with this little pattern. Hope you like it!

 

I'm calling them Lacey Bubblegum Punk Mitts, as the bubblegum punk style is "girly as well as black". The mittens also remind me of the punky 80's style, so there we have it. You could make these mittens in hot pink as well!

Heavy duty PDA cozy

Heavy duty PDA cozy
Heavy duty PDA cozy

Another small but fun and useful knitting pattern from me!

 

This piece was originally called Nick's PDA cozy, because I made the first version for my fiancée, Nick. However I think "Heavy duty PDA cozy" is better, because that's what it's made for - protecting the PDA that is travelling at the bottom of a bag, hitting the ground now and then. And it works!

 

Nicks's PDA is still good as new. I made the first cozy  a while ago, but didn't write the pattern down then. This is a bit modified "version 2.0" of the original cozy.

 

I offer this free knitting pattern for no fee for your own personal use - you may not sell this pattern or the products you knit using it (please ask me about charity).

The cozy is planned to be thick, so that in case the PDA gets dropped or takes a hit it doesn't get damaged.That's why the gauge is so tight and the yarn so thick. The seed stich stripes make the grip better, plus the bottom one helps when pushing the PDA out of the cozy. The opening is a bit smaller than the rest of the cozy so the PDA won't slip out on its own. This cozy is knit in the round (the pattern is for dpns) and has no seams.

 

The yarn is bulky but the needles are DK - this is to achieve maximum thickness of the fabric. The pattern can be quite easily modified to mobile phones or smaller PDAs, or cameras even. You can cast on more or less stitches at the beginning for width, increase more stitches at the sides, or leave the increases be for a smaller cozy. You can knit more or less rows to suit the hight of your PDA.

 

Obviously the cozy can be used for other mobile devices as well - a friend is currently using one for his iPhone.

Emerald string bag

Emerald String Bag
Emerald String Bag

I've really got interested in designing knitted items! This is the second knitting pattern I publish. I'd appreciate any comments / test knitting reports!

 

Emerald string bag

 

A handy bag for groceries, yarn, or to use as a swimgear bag on the beach. The bag comes in two sizes, the bigger one is really big and might not be suitable as a farmers' market bag (if you fill it with frut and veg, it will become really heavy, because the bag is very spacious!). The pictured bag is the bigger one.

The bags are designed to be carried either in the hand, or over the shoulder. See the pattern after the "Tell me more" button.
