A simple to knit, yet sophisticated looking nightgown. Soft for sleeping or lounging, with a graceful, flowing skirt, adjustable waist, and loosely knit eyelash top that easily adapts to different widths.
Sizes Two sizes —Woman’s Average listed first, Woman’s Extra Large is in parentheses As Knit: Skirt: 58” (72)” / Top: 42” (53”) (approx) Will Fit Sizes: Bust measurement fits between 30” – 48” (48” – 60”) Due to the loose knit of the fabric and natural give of the eyelash yarn, top sizes will adapt to different widths, since it can stretch out widthwise, or pull down lengthwise making it narrower in width, when worn. Waist size is very adjustable with center tie.
Yarn Requirements Main Yarn for skirt: 400 (500) yards soft, worsted weight yarn (more if longer skirt is desired). Eyelash Yarn for top: 120 (150) yards short eyelash style yarn Suggested Needles Needed Size 15 US/10 mm 36” circular knitting needles |

Sweet and Simple Swaddling Blanket
This baby blanket is also a handy wrap-up bunting with an attached hood, and sides that are secured by a bottom “flip-forward” pocket. When not being used as a bunting, the blanket can be used as a conventional flat baby blanket. It features a center back hole for easy car seat belt use (works well on most safety seats, but the 5-point harness systems that have the side leg straps are a bit more difficult to work the straps over the sides of the blanket). Written with detailed instructions in line-by-line format, suitable as a newer knitters project, while having enough detail to interest more experienced knitters as well. (Formerly available in the Winter 2003 issue of INKnitters Magazine)
Size Generously sized for larger than newborn size, to allow for continued use as baby grows. Finished measurements: 36” wide unfolded flat; 22” long on body sides; 26” total length from top of hood to bottom. Bottom Pocket: 12” wide by 6” deep. Yarn Requirements Approx 750 yards smooth Worsted Weight Yarn. Sample knit with Plymouth Encore, worsted weight, 75% acrylic/25% wool, 3.5 oz (100 gr), 200 yards (183 meters), 4 skeins. Suggested Needles Needed size 8 US/5 mm, 29” long circular needle, (or longer, used to knit flat) |

These felted wool slippers are quick to knit, and extra warm. Shown here before and after felting. A pocket is added to the top of a basic beginner’s sock that holds a felted wool pouch insert. The pouch is filled with dried rice or grains before closing, and then it is micro waved and inserted into the slipper pocket for long lasting warmth. Novelty yarn may be added to the cuffs and pocket tops for fun effects after felting. (See additional photos, some with novelty yarn, on my General Knitting page!) (Formerly available in the Winter 2003 issue of INKnitters Magazine)

Using ribbing in your socks doesn’t have to be boring! These socks incorporate 3 steps of ribbing in their design. First, the custom ribbing on the cuff is designed to flow into the lines of the Popcorn and Lace Rib pattern on the leg. Then this simple combination of stitches is both functional and decorative at the same time. The ribbed structure provides a good fit by stretching for many leg sizes, while the easy popcorns and eyelet lace add visual interest. Finally, the popcorns are eliminated on the foot where the bumps might feel uncomfortable in a shoe, while the eyelet lace rib is continued seamlessly down the foot for a fine fit with fancy looks. (Formerly available in Cast On, published by The Knitting Guild of America, Fall Accessories Issue, 2002)
