Kotori Jacket

Hello friends!
While I might have been quiet on my blog, I have been very busy in the pattern writing department (yippee!). This particular pattern has been available for a little while now, and it is already one of my most popular patterns (thank you lovely crafters!!) and I have made approximately a squillion of them so far :-) I can almost make them in my sleep now (it would be pretty handy to be able to crochet whilst sleeping, right?)

I like to try and write my patterns in LOTS of different sizes, so you can make one for all the little people in your life, and so you can keep using the same pattern and make a new jacket as your child grows :-) This one is available in sizes from newborn to 6 years! That's a lot of sizes!

It's a simple style, that is suitable for both boys and girls, and can be made with long or short sleeves. This pattern works just as well in cotton, for a Spring/Summer jacket, as it does in wool for a Winter/Autumn jacket. The simple design also means it the perfect "canvas" to play around with stripes or some gorgeous hand dyed yarn :-) And even an adventurous beginner could make this jacket in a few evenings! And did you know that I am always happy to help with any questions you have when making anything from my patterns. I promise you, there are never any silly questions :-) You can leave a comment here on my blog (I always get a notification so I don't miss any questions) or drop me a line via my Facebook page HERE

The Kotori Jacket pattern is available on Ravelry, Etsy & Craftsy!

I'm also thinking about making and adult version, with a bit of subtle waist shaping. What do you think?

Sparrow Hat Pattern

Hello friends!
I have been busy writing some new patterns for you! Yes, that's right, more knitty fun for everyone :-)
A collection of four little hats is ready for release. I'm so happy to finally have the patterns ready after all the designing, playing and testing.
The first pattern to be released is the Sparrow Hat. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you would have been seeing this hat design for quite some time now. It's one of my most popular designs, so I was pretty excited to be able to share the pattern too :-)
You've probably figured out by now that the "Fishtail" lace used in the Sparrow Hat is my favourite lace stitch. I use it a LOT. It's easy to remember and very effective :-)
Knit all-in-one, in the round, with a seamless construction, which means now seams to sew! And as you can see from the pictures above, the ear flaps and ties are optional, with instructions given for both styles in the pattern.
The sizing goes all the way from newborn to 5 years, so all the little Sparrows in your life can be warm and cosy :-)
This hat uses only a small amount of yarn, approximately 55m-120m (depending on the size you're making), so it's a great stash buster and you can use up all the little bits of delicious yarn that have been languishing in your knitting basket.
A quick and surprisingly easy knit, you can have one finished in a few hours, making it the perfect last minute gift for a new arrival or special birthday girl :-)
This hat is part of a collection of four little hats, so stay tuned for the release of the other designs. You can look forward to the Mio Hat, which is a plain and simple hat, perfect for both a little boy or girl, great for playing with stripes or a lovely hand dyed yarn :-) The Pip Hat is also lovely for a little boy or girl, with a deceptively simply textured stitch in 2 colours :-) And the Miel Hat, lovely for a boy or a girl with a simple, but effective eyelet pattern!
All 4 patterns will be available separately and as part of an E-book via Etsy, Ravelry & Craftsy :-)

Little Pixie Bonnet

Hello friends!
I knows it's been a little while since my last post! Sorry! but I have been very busy making lots of fun new things and writing a bunch of new patterns, due for release in the coming weeks! (Yes, exciting times!)
Here is a little bonnet I made yesterday :-) it is crocheted using a combination of Australian alpaca, cashmere and organic Australian wool!
Even though this one is for a baby, I am a little bit tempted to make one big enough for me :-)
This hat is available in my store HERE
Have a wonderfully crafty weekend!

Another Little Vest

Hello friends!
Even though we're in the middle of another heat wave (in Autumn!!) it hasn't stopped me crocheting :-) You know I'm obsessed and I can't stop. Sometimes I even have dreams when I'm asleep that I am crocheting.... hehehehe
Here is one of my recent projects. Another Little Vest using my pattern that was released in 2012. The yarn I used is Sirdar Crofter DK that I got from Crumbz in Healesville :-)
You can find the pattern to make this Little Vest on Etsy, Ravelry & Craftsy :-)

Wilson the Echidna

Hello friends!
Last weekend when we were driving through town I spotted an echidna walking down the main street! I do live in the country, but this was a very unusual sight!
Anyway it turns out it was this little guy and he was lost. But a lovely, kind person scooped him up and delivered him to the Healesville Sanctuary where he was checked to make sure he was fine, then he was returned to his natural habitat :-)
You might remember this earlier post about another echidna sighting I had :-)
Have you seen any unusual sights lately? Share in the comments :-)

Blossom Booties

Hello friends!
These are some of the little booties I have been making recently :-) I came up with the pattern somewhat accidentally when I was trying to devise a pattern for some crocheted socks for myself and it somehow developed into these booties instead :-)
I used some Rustic 8ply/DK wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills in the Wineberry colour way and the flower is made using a mystery yarn that I got from the "backroom" at the Bendigo Woollen Mills on a recent trip there, it's an alpaca/wool/silk blend ;-)
The pattern is in the final stages before release, so you can expect to see it very soon!
They're quick and easy to make and only use a tiny bit of yarn so they are perfect for a last minute gift and a great stash buster!
So stay tuned to know when the pattern is released on Ravelry, Etsy and Craftsy :-)

Sputnik the Magnificent

Hello friends!
Last year I got the fabulous news that two of my lovely friends were expecting their first baby, due early this year (yippee!) Little henry arrived safe and well in January! His mama and papa wanted him to have some special handmade toys to love and play with, and this is where I came in.

Introducing....... Sputnik the Magnificent!
I dyed the 100% Australian 4ply wool myself using some eco friendly, non-toxic dyes and used this AMAZING pattern by the very clever & talented designer Annie Watts. If you're not already familiar with Annie's work then do yourself a favour and check her out! Mind blowing :-)
The pattern was really well written & easy to follow and worked up surprisingly quickly. I will be a little bit sad to send Sputnik away to his new owner... But perhaps I can make myself one as well :-)

Have you made anything crafty for a new arrival in your life lately? Share in the comments!

P.S. I also made Henry some little booties and a little hat using the left over yarn from Sputnik. I'll show you a picture soon!

Little Vests Collection

Hello friends!

It's been a very busy few weeks here, as I'm sure it is at your place too!

Sick kids, Birthdays, a little holiday, Christmas parties and general festive busyness!

But in the middle of all of this I have been working on some new patterns as well :-)

The Little Vests Collection is now available through Ravelry and Etsy and Craftsy!

Each of the four patterns are available to be purchased individually or as a part of an e-book, which includes all 4 patterns!

 The simplicity of the pattern not only makes it a fast, easy project, but means it's suitable for little girls and little boys.
Perfect for experimenting with stripes and/or hand-dyed yarn. And it works up just as beautifully in cotton yarns as it does in wool yarns :-)
Available in sizes Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, & 18 months!

 Stay tuned to see some more new designs in the new year, including some little dresses, and all the Little Vests available in bigger sizes, up to a size to fit a 6 year old! :-)
I hope you're having a lovely festive season!!

More Patterns in the Pipeline

Hello friends!
As you may have read in THIS earlier post, I have been working on some new patterns recently. A series of little vests for little ones, in 6 sizes from New Born to 18 months :-)
Here is a preview of one of the patterns that will be available separately or as part of an e-book on Ravelry, Etsy and Craftsy . All styles are in the testing stage at the moment and I hope to have the patterns released very soon!
This little red vest is made using a wool/alpaca/silk blend yarn, which is lovely and soft and warm :-)
All the little vests in this series work up very quickly and only use a small amount of 8ply/DK weight yarn so they make a fabulous last minute gift :-)
Stay tuned for more previews of this pattern series and for the official release date!

Patterns in the Pipeline

Hello friends!
I have been working on a big bunch of new patterns over the last few weeks, and most of them are in the testing stage now, so they should be ready for release very soon :-)
The sweet little vest pictured above is one of the patterns. It will be available in 6 sizes from New Born to 18 months. Sizes from 2 years to 6 years will be released at a later date in a separate pattern :-)
Easy, all-in-one construction with NO seams at all! And if you choose to make the vest in a single colour, then you would only have two yarn ends to weave in, one at the beginning and one at the end! (This idea appeals to me immensely :-)
I made my vest with cotton yarn, but the pattern is lovely worked up in wool or alpaca. Any 8ply or DK weight yarn that matches gauge/tension can be used :-)
I think it would look particularly beautiful made using a lovely hand dyed wool :-)
This vest is part of a series of little vests, for both boys and girls that will be released together. The patterns will be available separately or as part of an e-book, available through Ravelry, Etsy and Craftsy :-)
The plan is to have the patterns released in the next week so that you will have time to make up a few vests for all the little people in your life for Christmas presents :-)
Stay tuned for more previews of the other vest styles!

Another Milo

Hello friends!
You might already read about how much I love the Milo Vest pattern by tikki Knits HERE.
Yep, I've made another one. This time it's a Size 3, in grey and blue cotton stripes :-)
A little friend of mine if turning 2! I hope he likes is summer vest :-)
The beautiful Wendy Cotton DK yarn is soft enough to be worn against the skin, but I'm sure this versatile vest would look just as sweet with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath on a cooler day too :-)

Little Knitting

Hello friends!
You may have read in some earlier posts that a few of my beautiful friends are having babies at the moment :-) Yay! And finally one of them is having a GIRL! Yay (again)! It seems like everyone has been having boys over the last few years and I haven't been able to make anything pretty, and lacy, and my colour palette has been a bit limited.... Let the girly knits begin!
The first little thing I have made is this tiny Newborn size Milo Vest in a lovely deep red cotton :-)
You can find the pattern for the Milo Vest by tikki Knits on Ravelry. I think it is one of my all time favourite patterns. It is SO versatile and easy and fast. The original pattern doesn't include the lacy pattern that I have added to my little Milo, but it's just a simple, traditional Fish Tail Lace, over a repeat of 8 stitches :-)
Do you have a favourite pattern that you have knit over and over again? Share in the comments!! :-)

Petit Meow

Hello friends!
I made a little cat :-)
As you may know from some of my earlier posts I am knitting some toys for my lovely friends who are having a baby :-)

 To make this kitty I used Bendigo Woollen Mills DK/8ply Classic wool that I have dyed using a combination of food dye (the orange) and Landscape dyes (the purple). The pattern I followed was Tabitha the Destash Kitty, which is a free pattern by Oliver Boliver :-)

I really love the way this little kitty has turned out :-) The colours worked perfectly for the look I was going for too :-)

Little Rabbit

Hello friends!
As I wrote about in an earlier post I am knitting a bunch of toys for my lovely friends who are having a baby :-) So far I have knitted a dachshund and this little rabbit :-)
I made this little critter using Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply/DK Classic that I have dyed using Landscape Dyes. I followed this free PATTERN from Lion Brand Yarns. I altered the ears a little though as I found that following the instructions as written in the pattern gave an unsatisfactory result, all lumpy and uneven up the sides of the ears :-(, So I did all my decreases for the ears one stitch in from the edges, rather than on the edges :-) The pattern doesn't include the scarf, but I felt that the little rabbit needed something to keep him warm :-) I made the scarf using some scrap 8ply/DK wool, cast on 4 stitches, knit one row, then all following rows I slipped one stitch purlwise, knit to end... until the scarf was the right length & cast off :-)
I wonder what my friends will name the little rabbit?

Howard Dachshund

Hello friends!
Recently I have been working on knitting some toys for two of my lovely friends who are having a baby together :-) And I've loved every minute of it :-)
Here is Howard the Dachshund! I dyed some Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply/DK Classic using Landscape Dyes in colourway Wombat :-)
And I followed this PATTERN by Annie Watts :-) It's a really great pattern and Annie is a very clever designer :-)

I have also been working on a little cat, a bigger cat and a rabbit :-) I'll show you pictures of those creatures when they're finished :-)

Lutin Snuggle

 Hello friends!
You might remember the pattern I wrote for the Lutin Hat earlier this year. I have been working on a few variations to make it even more fun :-)
For the hat pictures in this post I used a faux fur yarn for the first several rows, then changed to the regular DK weight wool for the "body" of the hat. The creamy faux fur yarn is SOOOOO soft and buttery, perfect for any little woodland pixie :-)
The brown wool I sued for the main part of the hat is a delicious chocolatey brown 100% wool that I found in the back room of the Bendigo Woollen Mills. It's similar to the DK Luxury :-)
You can find the pattern for this hat in my Etsy store HERE and on Ravelry here ---> 

What have you been making lately? Share in the comments, I love to know what everyone else is up to as well :-)

Knitty Gnomes

Hello friends!

I have been busy knitting lots of little gnomes :-)

 The fabulous free pattern for these gnomes can be found HERE

 You only need a teeny tiny amount of yarn to make your little gnome, so they're a perfect stash buster for using up all the little bits of nice yarn you have hanging around in your stash :-)

 The size of your gnome just depends on your yarn weight and needle size. Mine range from approximately 10cm to 15cm tall, from the toes to the tip of the hat :-)

 They're the perfect size for a child to hold in their hand, to take on trips to keep them company :-)
Also, HERE is a cute song about a gnome :-)

 P.S. When I made my first one, I thought i would be "clever" and knit it in the round to save myself sewing in some ends and sewing any seams... Don't do this! I was a fool! Just follow the pattern :-) It will work much better that way :-)

Ned's Polka Dot Blanket Recipe

Hello friends!

Recently I finished making a blanket for my little friend Ned who was born at the start of the year, (yes, it took me a while to finally finish it!! Ned was very patient though :-)

I made it using a technique called Tapestry Crochet. You can find lots of great tutorials on how to do Tapestry Crochet on youtube (This is a particularly good video, I used the first method she describes for my Polka Dot blanket :-). I highly recommend taking the time to look it up and learning this skill because it's so much fun and you really can do some amazing things with it :-)

It's a little bit like Fair Isle knitting, but it's completely reversible, with no exposed yarn carried along the back of your work. Yay!

I didn't use a pattern to make Ned's blanket, I just got out some graph paper and did a few calculations and came up with this polka dot design (with Ned's name in the corner :-)

I have had a lot of people asking for a pattern so they can make their own Polka Dot Blanket, I haven't written a pattern, as such, for this blanket, but if you have a little bit of crochet experience & a knowledge of tapestry crochet, you may find the following notes (or Blanket Recipe) useful to make your own Polka Dot blanket (without Ned's name in the corner, hehe). Referring to the photographs will also help :-)
You can find this blanket recipe on RAVELRY :-)

My blanket measured approximately 100cm x 100cm. I used a 4.5mm hook & Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8 ply (DK) in the shades Lake and Oceanic. (Unfortunately it seems that Oceanic is now a discontinued colour, which is a real shame, as it is a gorgeous colour :-( ) I used approximately 2.7 200g balls (1080m or 1180yds) of Oceanic (Main Colour) and .7 of a 200g ball (280m or 306yds) of Lake (Contrast Colour).

Please note: I will use British/Australian crochet terms in this blanket recipe. U.S. crochet terms are different, so if they are the terms you like to use you may need to look up a conversion chart on the net :-)

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

st or sts = stitch or stitches

dc = double crochet

Using Main Colour make 137 chain, 

Row 1: Using Main Colour, 1dc in 2nd chain from hook, 1dc in each chain to end, 136sts in total.

Turn.

Row 11: As Row 6.

Row 12: As Row 5.

Rows 13-16: Using Main Colour, 1ch (counts as 1dc), 1dc in each st to end. Turn.

Repeat from ** to last 18 sts, using Main Colour, 1 dc in each st to end. Turn.

Row 18: Using Main Colour, 1ch (to count as 1dc), 1 dc in each of next 16 sts, using Contrast Colour, 1dc in each of next 6 sts, **using Main Colour, 1 dc in each of next 18 sts, using Contrast Colour, 1dc in each of next 6 sts. Repeat from ** to last 17 sts, using Main Colour 1dc in each st to end. Turn.

Rows 19-22: Using Main Colour, 1ch (to count as 1dc), 1dc in each of next 15 sts, using Contrast Colour, 1dc in each of next 8 sts, **using Main Colour, 1dc in of next 16 sts, using Contrast Colour, 1dc in each of next 8 sts. repeat from ** to last 16 sts, using Main Colour, 1 dc in each st to end. Turn.

Row 23: As Row 18.

Row 24: As Row 17.

Rows 25-28: Using Main Colour, 1ch (counts as 1dc), 1dc in each st to end. Turn.

Rows 5 - 28 make up the polka dot pattern. Continue working in this pattern repeat until your blanket reaches the desired length. 

I then did 2 rounds of dc around the entire edge of the blanket as a small border. Don't forget to do 3 stitches in each corner so the border doesn't curl up :-)

I hope you have fun with this blanket recipe :-)

Next you will join the back seam, which is the working edge, of your bonnet. This is done by folding your bonnet in half (bringing the end of the row to the beginning of the row) and working a sl st into the back loop only of both sides all the way along the back seam, now turn your hat in the other way so that the sl st seam will be on the inside of the hat.  Fasten off.

4 ch. 11tr into 4th ch from hook, join with sl st in ch #4 at the beginning of your disc. Ch 55, join with sl st to front corner or chin of your bonnet. 

Make another tie the same, joining it to the other side of your bonnet using a sl st.

Weave in ends & you're finished!

You can also find a few other variations for this Pixie Bonnet that another blogger has posted on her blog HERE. It is in Dutch but you can easily use Google Translate to translate it to English :-)
