Kim Kardashian Slouchy Beanie

This beanie, which I found from iKnits is amazing. It is super girly and so warm. I knit it up using less than one skein!! I have enough yarn leftover to make some bracelets or a headband, it is GREAT!!

Everything you need to know for the pattern can be found on her blog and youtube channel

For my yarn I used Wool-Ease Worsted Weight (size 4) from Lion Brand. It was super cheap and I had leftover yarn from my ONE SKEIN!! :)

Here are my pictures of my sister - I gave the beanie to her and she loves it! Enjoy!

Happy Knitting!! xoxo

Braided Cable Bracelet

Hi everyone! So I loved the bracelet I made on my last post but I wanted to make one with a more braided look. I found a pattern on the blog http://sascha-lovetoknit.blogspot.nl/2012/09/kabelarmbanden-breien-met-patroon.html

The pattern for the bracelet is
Cast on 11 stitches. I used size 8 needles and size 4 worsted weight yarn. This needs to be knitted straight so remember to turn your work over after every row! This can be done on circular needles as long as you turn your work over! :)
** She says to use cotton yarn, which I agree would make the bracelet have that "clean" look to it but any yarn works! :)
Row 1. knit 11
Row 2. Purl 11
Row 3. Knit 1, c6f, knit 4
Row 4. Purl 11
Row 5. Knit 11
Row 6. Purl 11
Row 7. Knit 4, c6b, knit 1
Row 8. Purl 11

Repeat rows 1-8 until you get the desired length. The best bind off is the kitchener stitch, which I finally learned!! Let me say, it is extremely useful for bracelets - I can't even tell where the seam is!! It's amazing!!

I learned the kitchener stitch from my favorite knitting channel iKnits from this video

Hope you guys love it as much as I do!! Xoxo

Large Cabled Bracelet

Hello all! So I found another lovely video from my favorite YouTube knitting channel Iknits :) The video for this pattern can be found with the link below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR1sQ3NATXI&list=UUD4AerLQNkDnGPF_ZUf8k4w

I used size 4 worsted weight yarn with size 8 knitting needles

The pattern is made by casting on 8 stitches
Row 1: knit
Row 2: purl
Row 3: k1, c6f or c6b, k1
Row 4: purl
Row 5: knit
Row 6: purl

In the video, she did a Kitchener bind off. I haven't learned that yet so I did a normal bind off and stitched the ends together using a tapestry needle.

I also made a version by casting on 14 stitches so the bracelet was larger like a bangle. The pattern is also used in repeats of 6 rows.
Row 1: knit
Row 2: purl
Row 3: k1, c6b, c6b, k1
Row 4: purl
Row 5: knit
Row 6: purl

I prefer the thicker bracelet and it looks pretty awesome!! :)

Happy Knitting!! xoxo
