FORENSICA Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi, my friend gave birth to a baby boy few weeks earlier then planned. That ment that I did not have time for a knitted toy as I wanted. So over one boring movie on the telly I made these http://bjrn.net/gallery/KnittedToys/DSCF4643 . Hope you like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORENSICA Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Sure, it comes from book called Simple knits for easy living, however I changed what I could on it The original should be done in Rowan Handknit D.K Coton and in moss stich. I used Darling (Peter Pan) which is identical to Snowflake I reckon, just cheaper . 3 3/4mm needles and knitted in garter stich (all K rows). Soles : Cast on 9st.Work one row.Next row inc1 at each end.Continue without shaping till sole measures 9cm.Dec1at each end.Cast of. Uppers : Cast on 19st. Inc 1st at end of next row and on next 5 rows at the same edge for toe shaping (25st).Work 4 rows without shaping.Cast off 12st at the beg of next row.Dec 1st at end of next row. Dec 1st at beg of next row. Increase 1st at end.Work 1 row without shaping. Cast on 13st at the end of next row (25st).Work 4 rows. Dec 1st at toe end on next 6 rows. Cast off remaining 19 st. I put a thin rubber band on top (as I am rubbish at increasing with that yarn, it was a bit loose) and decorate as you wish Or make them some of the toys I knitted for my friends' children. They are all on the same site as the booties and can guarantee a great success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
