<br />
Finally I finished making a long sleeve sweater for my 6 year old daughter. I asked her to choose which color that she likes for me to make her a sweater. She always said that she is feeling cold whenever she rides our car (air-conditioned). Especially during night time. So, there is also a reason for me to try and test out our new line of yarn, by making her a sweater. And, I also can shows this lacey sweater to my customers at our ship.<br />
<br />
How long to finish it? Well, it took me about two weeks, not to mention, I made a wrong size for her, it was really big, like a 10 year old can fit it. So, I had to unravelled the yarn again and made it right for the second time. Fuhh... You really need to calculate your gauge properly. If not, this will happen. Like me. Never again I will let this happen.<br />
<br />
<u>Materials needed:</u><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 1/2 balls of Lily Acrylic yarn - Orange Blossom</li>
<li>Ring stitch markers</li>
<li>Blunt Needles</li>
<li>Circular Knitting Needles size 6mm, 120cm long (so that I can knit and make magic loop)</li>
<li>Buttons</li>
<li>Sewing needle and some threa for sewing buttons</li>
<li>Scrap yarn (different color) so that you can keep live stitches for the arm section.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b><u>New experiences I learned when making this Cardigan Lace: </u></b><br />
a) Gauge is important, remember to calculate it properly before doing any projects that requires gauge<br />
b) For lace pattern to be consistent, you really need to put a ring marker in between lace set pattern<br />
c) Steam the finished sweater, I learned that acrylic is quite difficult to do blocking.<br />
d) Learn to make button hole<br />
e) Learn to do the edges of the cardigan, for every knit rows, pick up 3 out of every 4 stitches. For lace row, you can pick up each stitches.<br />

Love the outcome for the baby hat. I wanted to try doing cable and challenge myself to this easy pattern from the Lion Brand yarn website. The title is Chill In the Air Cap.<br />
<br />
<b>Materials: </b><br />
- Ivy Wool Cream 100gm<br />
- Circular Knitting Needle 5.5mm, 120cm (take long enough to make it easier to use Magic Loop method)<br />
- Cable Stitch Holder<br />
- Stitch Marker<br />
- Blunt Needle<br />

I should have made a pompom to tie on top of the hat. It would make it a lot more cuter.<br />
<br />
Cable technique requires lots of yarn even though you are making it for a baby sized hat. About a few grams left for the yarn. If you are making for an adult hat, maybe you need about 1 and half balls for the yarn. About 150gm of the yarns needed.<br />
<br />
It took me about two days to finish it. I knitted the hat during my leisure time.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820415554342026275.post-64013816952177254802013-02-24T18:49:00.001-08:002015-09-04T08:49:49.771-07:00Knitting - Baby Doll Dress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Baby doll dress knitted using Milk Cotton Series (MCS), 4.0mm knitting needle. I made a gauge swatch first to see whether it will fits perfectly with the baby doll.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love the outcome. The color for the Milk Cotton Series MCS yarns are Light Pink and Magenta. </div>

I would say I love the look of the hat, using 2x2 ribbed pattern, purl 2, knit 2. Why I love it, because it looks like cable pattern, but only use simple knit and purl. The pattern was taken from Lion Brand yarn website under <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lionbrand.com%2Fpatterns%2FL10598.html%3FnoImages&h=_AQFWa9Zs">Solstice Hat</a> name. Easy to make, it only takes 5 hours for me to make. It seems a long time for someone who is an expert. But, for a beginner, this is considered fast to make. Hehe.. <img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY9sFoEywj-BYbTV62BKGyaNEnFpFma16yRdHIgDsIo9QIZ3q0vqUT5bQAJm6Es0JuG9VG3uKxzGPX0M13A3odqV_s2h4gkdXPodU10uzLICHsMMaWWTa9wu1d7RJ9aU4-jEWhz9qemJQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /><br />
And of course, you only need ONE ball of <a href="http://www.cottonhousestore.com/products-a-services.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=191">Thickish yarn</a>, which after finished making the hat, I have still some yarn left, can be made into pom pom balls, or pom pom dolls. I used <a href="http://www.cottonhousestore.com/products-a-services.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1681&category_id=163">8mm Circular Needle 50cm</a> and also 8mm Double Pointed Needle. The pattern suggests using 9mm, but I do not have it with me. I only got 8mm and 10mm sizes, but after calculating the gauge, I think I better use the 8mm, but increase a few more stitches to achieve the right gauge as stated in the pattern.<br />
Here is how I do it.<br />

Cast on how many stitches as to the gauge, with this, I make 56 cast on stitches (I learned that for every stitch increase, you make sure it is divisible by 8 for making hat). And mark the first stitch when knitting in the round. So you may not get confuse with the first stitch and last stitch of the row.<br />

This is how it should looks like, knit 2, purl 2. You are making like a long tube. Before doing decreasing for the hat,, you need to measure the stitches like the one below about 10”. <br />

After getting the 10” stitch height for the hat, transfer the stitches evenly on the DPN, I used 5 of my DPN, and use together with the circular needle to knit. Some of you can also divide with four DPN and knit using the 5th DPN needle. <br />

Baby boys cap. The large one is for toddler 1-2 years old made using cotton blended. The small one is for my niece Irfan using Ilaria Viscose and Cotton Blended. Unluckily, he could not fit in the hat that I make for 3 months size. Next time, for babies, you need to make something big than their age. So that they can fit in it right away or maybe a few more months.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820415554342026275.post-18135637173383024292011-12-11T22:32:00.001-08:002011-12-11T22:32:05.706-08:00Urban Girl Tote bags and baby hat for customer<p>Really apologizes for not updating this blog for so long.

So he was asking me to do something for the girls. Which takes some time figuring out what to make. Something easy and nice and practical for all of them. I do not want to make something that is not suitable and practical for the girls. And walla, totes idea came to my mind after browsing for free patterns on the Lion brand website. They can use the totes to put pocket money (duit raya) inside it. I know, my 3 year old Tasneem would love to have something like this, so bright and can put her personal belongings inside the small cute tote. But, I did not make her one. I will though. One day!<img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" alt="Winking smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-C2TgPoDl7hk/TuWf1DIFMeI/AAAAAAAAAo4/LBC9ESnwn_M/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"></p> <p>For the tote, it is Urban Girl Tote, free pattern taken from Lion Brand Yarn website. This is very easy pattern and finish up fast. The only thing I adjust was make the handles longer. I am using Nona double stranded yarn and 5.5mm crochet hook for the tote. After that, I embellished with crocheted flower and also crocheted butterflies, and sew it to the totes.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3UBeTTSffnM/TuWf2cPodHI/AAAAAAAAApE/R4FhbcKpusY/s1600-h/DSC_2797%252520hats%252520%252526%252520bags%252520watermarked%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_2797 hats & bags watermarked" border="0" alt="DSC_2797 hats & bags watermarked" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-japynJdqjzc/TuWf3EKmMKI/AAAAAAAAApI/_3XVjI4uO0k/DSC_2797%252520hats%252520%252526%252520bags%252520watermarked_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PI9jtBXjDbM/TuWf4c_09vI/AAAAAAAAApQ/8k-0VTcKoyw/s1600-h/DSC_2755%252520hats%252520%252526%252520bags%252520watermarked%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_2755 hats & bags watermarked" border="0" alt="DSC_2755 hats & bags watermarked" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QmOK1ag-ggI/TuWf4wJkloI/AAAAAAAAApY/hWEEgVM2bm4/DSC_2755%252520hats%252520%252526%252520bags%252520watermarked_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>The baby hat was for 6-12 months old.

I really wanted to make one for home, the living room. Oh no, actually not make one, but need to make a pair of it. But wait, I have more things to knit and crochet along the way! Maybe next time, I will make another one of this pillow :p . Maybe with a different color. </p> <p>The technique is crochet, I am using 5.5mm hook, with two strands of acrylic yarn. This pattern I would say it is simple to do. Once you know how to make dc (double crochet), trc (treble crochet), it is very easy. I love the looks like a 3D.

One of my husband’s collegue order this hat for her niece. Same age as Tasneem with 19” head circumference. She wanted her niece to wear this for their trip to Taiwan next month. It will be chilly there although it is just spring time. <br />
So, I suggested using <a href="http://www.cottonhousestore.com/">cotton blended yarn</a> because it has acrylic too, which will give warmth during their stay there. This hat has brim to protect against sun rays. It is also suitable to be worn in Malaysia. <br />

My customer saw the pictures of previous cardigans and after seeing the pictures of baby hats that I make on Cotton House Store facebook, she wanted to order a full set for her daughter.<br />
So, this is it. <br />

The sizes for her order is for 6-12 months old. So, the finished sizes for the cardigan is 22”, shoes 4” and baby hat 16-17”. <br />

I never use beanie or baby hat that was given as gift for my daughter to wear. The reason is that whenever she wears it, it covers her eyes. So, I am afraid that it will also covers her nose as well. <br />
So, I make something more useful. Making baby hat with brim, to protect from the sun rays. Whenever we goes out, then, she will have protection against the sun. We do not have to open umbrella which is tedious to bring (if it just hot, no rain).<br />
This time, I used <a href="http://www.cottonhousestore.com/">cotton blended yarn</a> white with salmon colors. I use 5mm crochet hook. The finished sizes is 15”-16”. Why I chose these colors, simple. Easy to match with whatever colors that are in her wardrobe. <br />
I made another one too for her my niece Hamnah. Same age as my daughter. <br />

Let me just put what I have crocheted these past months. It did not mean that I did not do anything for my hobby, but there weren’t time for me to update this blog. Really, my second daughter needed me to always carry her whenever she is awake. <br />
So, right now I am going to update whatever my creations for the last few months. <br />
Tasneem’s hat, made using 100% Nona Acrylic (just want to try out the from the Japanese pattern book). The hook sizes state 5, but at that time I was not sure is that 5mm or just size 5 in Japan. But, unfortunately it is not 5mm as I was expected, it is size 5. So, I have to googled out to find what is the equivalent size for 5, it is actually 3.4mm, but I subsitute it with 3.5mm. Well, it turns out well and fits my 3 year plus daughter with 19” hat circumference.<br />
The pictures taken at a playground near our house by my husband.<br />

This is my second daughter, Humayra. She loves to be cuddled. I made this using 100% acrylic yarn using 5mm hook. But, this was just for trial. Looks, how many colors are there in the hat. I wanted to finish up any leftover yarns. So, that I can fill it up with other yarns that I bought. Hehe. <br />
The pattern for the hat is from the cocoon baby hat pattern. What I did is just make the brim with sc all around the hat for 4 times and made the ruffles edging using shell stitches. <br />
I ended up adorned both hats using ribbons. Easy to insert it using very large needles and no sewing needed.<br />

It took months for me to finish up this pattern. Actually it only takes about 2-3 days of your leisure time to finish up this easy pattern. I bought this pattern at e-patternscentral.com. The instructions are for 2,4 and 6 years old. It requires using 2 strand of yarn together with 5mm hook, but I managed to use just one strand of Ilaria Viscose with 6mm hook, and can fit my 3 year old child easily. <br />

Although the pattern say it is easy, but I am having quite a difficult time understanding the pattern, with the weird design (I never made this kind of pattern before, so there comes difficulty with each design). <br />

I am quite amazed at the final outcome of the pattern, it looks kinda of like shrug plus jacket to me. It turned out beautiful. I am glad that it still can fits my daughter.<br />

This brown and cream baby cocoon and hat was ordered by one of my customers for her newborn after looking at the baby blue cocoon that I made for my daughter. Materials are using cream cotton blended yarn and camel brown cotton metallic. All are suitable for the delicate baby skin. <br />
She wanted it for her newborn photo shoot session. So, I have to send it before her due date which I make it in time. Forgive for the pictures, not so professional looking, with lots of shadows and not so bright (lack of lighting). <br />

It has been long since I post new entry for this blog. I was just finish with my confinement and was very busy with the new baby and also needs to take care of my 3 year old daughter. This baby blue <a href="http://www.e-patternscentral.com/detail.html?prod_id=7910&cat_id=&criteria=papoose">cocoon or papoose</a> for newborn needs 4 ply of yarn to make it. I was using 4 <a href="http://www.cottonhousestore.com/">cotton blended yarn</a> with a size 5mm hook. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixvrLQsyVs4hptHr5U1-6h2SW0S4o88qpxf2v8dlda6lkLeAMFjm2gL66eMkrYyzbKhIzrDyHyu9He1u_9VCg50Xjwe1rVlegBlwL5SNZWOK8f_31XydPntm_0S77ncuhLtYiggUmUdGc/s1600-h/IMG_3796%5B2%5D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_3796" border="0" height="164" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_sJkYTqbns2M/TMfY7ZUI8FI/AAAAAAAAAgY/f0VREM9zwbE/IMG_3796_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_3796" width="244" /></a> <br />
Actually it is 3 1/2 of yarns needed. After finished using the blue yarn, I used the white yarn remnants from making another white baby cardigan (which I do not decide whom to give it to yet). <br />

After browsing the e-pattern central design, I decided to buy the pattern. This papoose pattern was published in an E-book titled <a href="http://www.e-patternscentral.com/detail.html?prod_id=7514&cat_id=2&classification_id=K">“Oh Baby! Crochet”,</a> cost to download $19.90 and I got a 10% discount for this e-book, which was very nice. As soon as payment being made, I could download it immediately. Imagine how thrilled I was to see and make this papoose. Even my husband said that it was really cute when he saw the baby picture in the cocoon.<br />
About the pattern, it was easy to make, but needs lot of time and effort to finish it. Just using dc and sc throughout the pattern. I took about three days to finish it, of course, I only spend about 2-3 hours per day to do it. So, if you really going to make one, do not expect to finish it in one day. You need to set time to finish it by within how many days, so that you do not have to rush. <br />
