Let’s bring in the New Year right; this is my last pattern of 2016!

Happy New Year to all my subscribers

 

 

PATTERN INSPIRATION:


All this rave about the messy bun and pony tail hats. Got me thinking Cancer patients and Alopecia patients would love this too, but hmmmm no hair well I came to your rescue, nothing more frustrating to these patients than to see cute hats and just sit there thinking if I ONLY HAD HAIR. I would so love to wear this, I also know many won't leave there homes without a wig on, with this hat there is no chance that people will know you have no hair.

Some may say its ok but they don't understand how we feel. they may say its's only hair for God's sake, But to some it means everything to them, for a woman to loose their hair, it is a very dramatic time in their lives, Some may say this isn't me anymore, Some may say I am not pretty anymore. So here's to you! You can feel pretty again and keep up with the style as well. For those suffering from these horrid diseases if you’re thinking what about my head is so sensitive you can wear this hat with a wig liner this really helps for those with this issue.

“Touch of Love Messy Bun Hat Inspired by its magic to be 2 hats in one. This pattern will be dedicated to my little sister Debbie 6-16-64 3-12-2007 who passed of cancer.

PATTERN INSPIRATION:

This pattern was created by watching my grandchildren loving to make a snowman on a sunny warm winter day with their papa, mind you they were 3 & 4 years old and didn’t understand why the snowman melted by the end of the day, and cried, but we worked so hard with papa to make this for you meme when they saw him melted, the oldest was devastated and said she would never build another snowman if he was going to melt. So I had to think quickly, I wanted a special snowman for her that wouldn’t melt, so off I dashed to my Kiss Looms while she was asleep. I created what I told her was magical snowmen when she awoke, her eyes were so big and she looked at me and says meme you’re the best. So now that winter is upon us once again she wants to come build a magical snowman right outside my patio, so I can see it every day and know she made it just for me, Children are what makes the Christmas season seem so alive

Gauge: 18 st x 24 rows per 4”

Height: 7”

This pattern was created by seeing a photo online and I wanted to loom knit it on my Kiss Looms. So by looking at the photo I created my version of what I saw, and this is what I came up with. Can be used for a fruit basket, cookie container, candy keeper, or even as a gift basket instead of wrapping a present to give to recipient place items to be given as a gift  in Santa pants. Imagination is unlimited. And what better way to have to buy ice cream, so you can recycle the pail, that’s my story and I am sticking to it lol.

Height: 19"

From feet to top of suspenders
Loom required: The DRAGON Large Fixed Gauge Loom

Elegant Fingerless Mitts

Loom Knitted



 This pattern was created by seeing a photo online and I wanted to loom knit it on my Kiss Looms. So by looking at the photo I created my version of what I saw, and this is what I came up with.


Gauge: 18 st x 24 rows per 4”

Size:
This pattern can be adjusted by using multiples of 2 to get different sizes, I used 28 pegs for a tighter fit which is great for if you have wrist problems. I have done them with up to 36 pegs which would fit a large hand.
Also in pattern it has a short and long version, short would cover just to your knuckles and the long version covers to the second knuckles

LOOM:
Kiss loom: Small Gauge slim 2 way adjustable, Looms can be purchased here http://kisslooms.com/small-gauge/30-peg-small-gauge-short-2-way-adjustable-loom-detail  using the 1 peg ends

Or any small gauge loom giving you the gauge
