Free Patterns — @CraftsyCasz

The problem with kitchen supplies that you find in a store is that it always seems like everyone else in the seems to have bought the exact same item. How do you avoid that feeling of deja vu when you see your friends' kitchens with the same aprons & dishcloths?

When you knit your own dishcloth or apron, you are guaranteed yo make a unique and special item.

This Pom Pom Newborn Hat is an easy baby hat knitting pattern.

Knitted in stockinette stitch, this knitted baby hat is simple enough for beginners to get the hang of quickly and easy enough for advanced knitters to finish in an evening.

Because this is such a quick knitting pattern, it’s also a perfect charity knitting project.

Originally designed to be donated to hospitals, this free knitting pattern is offered in newborn size, so it would make the perfect gift for a brand new baby. Or knit these hats for charity and feel good about your knitting project.

The designer has based the patterns on two old original vintage beanie patterns and then adapted the fibre for modern day use and yarns and coming up with her own design for these beautiful little newborn hats. On the subject of yarns these hats will knit up with 4 ply or eight ply fibre. They are quick and easy to make, even for beginning knitters.

  Although many hats are knit in the round on circular needles, for these very tiny hats I decided to create a simple straight needle pattern with a seam, so this pattern is able to be knitted flat on single points or circular needles.

This cocoon comes in one size suitable for an average size Newborn under 2 weeks of age. It is designed for a very snug fit around the baby, and although it does have lots of stretch, it will not fit babies over 9 lbs. This pattern calls for Size...
