Challenge Day 19 & 20 Mug Cozy

 Today I am super happy that I got another project done :)

 

I worked on this project for about a week on and off
three to four rows at the time
and finally today I woke up and said:
that's it! I am finishing it today!

 And here it is

 

and on the side I put a button so is easy to put it on and off

in any mug :)

 

Now if you want to make it here are the instructions:

 

I used knittin needles # 3

and yarn # 4

(one of the regular yarns that you see in the craft stores)

 

Cast on 17 sts.

and knit rice stitch until you have 24 cm. or 9 1/2 in.

bind off.

 

Then in the middle of one of the sides

 make 5 chains with any crochet you have around

to make a look for the button.

 

On the other side sew the button

in the middle of the row.

 

And you are done.

This is a project you can make in a day

but my lack of time didn't allow me :)

 

Please share yours if you make one :)

 

thanks for visiting

 

 

 

Challenge Day 1 Knitted Bow

For my Creative Every Day Challenge Month

I have a knitted bow

 

 

 

I made two of these for my daughters

very easy

 

I used knitting needles # 4mm

and a Needlepoint yarn that I found at a Goodwill

it says Persian type yarn

 

I am sure this yarn wasn't meant to knit with

but I know they like this color :)

 

Anyways, here are the instructions to make the bow:

 

For the main section:

cast on 8 sts

work in garter st (knit every row)

until the strip measures around 6 in. (16cm)

bind off.

Sew the edges together forming the oval like for the bow part

I used the same yarn and a blue plastic needle for the sewing part.

 

Now for the center of the bow

cast 4 sts

work in garter st until it measures 2 1/2 in.

bind off.

 

Making sure that the seams stay in the center

pinching the middle of the main section (bow)

place the center band into position and sew the back.

 

You can sew the bow into a hair clip

a headband, or just a ribbon to tie around your hair :)

 

So that's my creativity for today :)

 

I hope you like it
