Staghorn Scarf Pattern


Staghorn                                  

The yarn you use and needle size probably doesn't make a lick of a difference. I used Vanna White's line of yarn because I loved the color, it was super soft, and cheap. It took 1 1/2 balls of yarn. I used size 10 1/2 needles (6.5 mm).

Abbreviations:
k: knit
p: purl
sl1kw: slip 1st stitch knit-wise
sl1pw: slip 1st stitch purl-wise
BC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the back, k2, k2 from cable needle
FC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the front, k2, k2 from cable needle

Cast on 30 stitches.

Row 1 (WS and all other wrong side rows): sl1pw, k2, p2, k2, p16, k2, p2, k2, p1.
Row 2: sl1kw, p2, k2, p2, k4, BC, FC, k4, p2, k2, p2, k1. 
Row 4: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, k2, BC, k4, FC, k2, p2, k2, p2, k1.
Row 6: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, BC, k8, FC, p2, k2, p2, k1.

Repeat rows 1-6 until desired length.* Cast off while following the WS of the pattern, it looked most natural casting off after Row 2.

*My favorite rule of thumb for knitting scarves is to knit the scarf as tall as you are (or whoever will receive the scarf). That made mine about 65 inches long, but knit it as long as you feel like. It's such a fast knit and makes a very cute slinky skinny scarf so if you have the yarn just keep on going! ^_^

Fringe: I cut 12" lengths of yarn, 6 per fringe section, and 5 on each edge. That's 60 in total. I folded the yarn length sections in half (6 pieces), stuck them through the scarf at the cast on and cast off edges (just make a hole and squeeze it through or use a crochet hook), pulling half way through, making a loop then pulled the loose ends (that are hanging out the other side) through the loop and pulled tight. I hope that makes sense, but it's essentially just knotting the fringe onto the bottom. It's the easiest way to attach fringe, one can even call it the cheater's method it's so simple :-P

Hope you have fun with it! I'm putting the pattern up on Ravelry, and if you knit one up I'd love to see your pictures!

Octo-Cozy Pattern

These little guys are "Dimples" and "Maddy" (Maddy is named after her new mommy, Madison Young, the film maker that I had the honor of meeting this week who said she liked Dimples so much I had to make her one of her own.) Now these little critters are hollow and can cover anything, though I've been selling them at the store The Tool Shed , where I work, to cover naughty things like vibrators, dildoes, and/or butt-plugs, and make them look adorable and fun. A customer and fellow knitter asked if I would divulge the pattern and since most people that might have a use for one of these babies can't make it all the way to Milwaukee, WI to buy one of mine, I figured I would share the simple pattern with the world so they can have their own Octo-Cozy. Octo-Cozy Yarn : Any yarn can be used for this project depending on how large you want the cozy to be. I used sock yarn for both of these examples, one was self-stripping sock yarn so I only used one col
