Something needed & more for Charity

A very short-notice make for me recently! When I picked Jack up from my mum's on Thursday, she told me that Jack had to go to nursery on Friday, either in fancy-dress or wearing something spotty.

We had neither! And no time (or money) to go out and buy something, so I raided my stash adn came up with this:


A spotty waistcoat!

I've also been knitting and crocheting more stuff for Lisa's Stars. Heres a few of the crocheted bonnets I've done:

Eyelet Hat Pattern

And another!

Eyelet Hat



This pattern is knitted in the round on DPNs and if you're comfortable using them, the hat is a fast knit (with no seams to sew at the end!)

There's no need to worry about gauge as premature babies are all different, whatever your gauge, your finished hat will fit an angel.

Materials:

Baby DK yarn (in your choice of colour)
1 set 4mm DPNs
Yarn needle


Directions:

Cast on 36 sts, place 12sts on each needle.

Join the round, being careful not to twist the stitches as you do. You can, if you wish, place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round but I just the tail from casting on as a marker.


Round 1: (K1, P1) around

Repeat this pattern until piece measures just over 1cm (1/2")

Next 3 rounds: Knit all stitches

Next Round (K2, yo, K2tog) around

Next 2 rounds: Knit all stitches
