New section with free patterns

Have I pointed out my new section with free knitting patterns? They're in English and in Dutch. Keep an eye on the top right of this weblog.

   

Last Sunday I added a pattern for two cell phone sleeves, one with a flap and one with a bright colored edge. They are stretchy and will fit most phones. The length is easily adjustable.

   

Earlier on I listed the patterns for four different potholders. This is really a beginners project, ranging from super easy to a little challenge.

Enjoy!

Just a knit and a purl - tutorial for easy knitting

Easy knitting: just a knit and a purl and not too big a project. That’s what I aimed at designing these four different patterns for potholders. It's a project for beginners. By using double yarn however it looks quite advanced.

The four patterns vary from super easy to a challenge for beginning knitters. What you need is three skeins of cotton in different colors, knitting needles 4.5 (US 7) and a crochet needle 4 (US G/6, UK 8). The pattern is available in English and in Dutch - see Free patterns on the right.

You can choose to make all four different potholders or stick to one and the same pattern. Also you can mix the colors according to the given pattern or give it your own personal signature.

The knitting is easy, the result quite impressive and you can give it your own twist. Have fun and show me some pictures when you’re done :)
