Santa and Santas Elves Hats

Any Way You Want Pouch

This bag is very simple and easy, with so many color combination possibilities.

I used an H hook and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, but any hook and yarn size would work, it just alters the size of your bag. This is a little bit rough explanation. Beads are optional but add a nice touch.

Make 5 basic granny squares (you can find several styles all over the net) in any size you like, mine were only 3 rnds for this. Use one for the base and then attach one on each side of square ane then sew up sides.
For Top closure
RND 1) attach yarn in any spot of a square and DC evenly around each of 4 square tops, sl st to first dc
RND 2)ch3 (counts as first dc and ch1 space) skip next st,* dc in next st, ch1, skip next st, repeat from * around, sl st to second ch of beginning ch3
RND 3) DC in each st around, st st to first dc, fasten off and weave in ends.

I made two drawstrings of about 70chs long and weaved in and out of RND 2. I also added some beads to each end of drawstring.

A Touch of Winter and Spring Armwarmers

Hi all, it's been a while. But here is a little something I cooked up for my daughters birthday next weekend.

I am using Red Heart worsted weight, and an H hook *I have to add that I am left handed. people have had a few questions on some of the gloves a few times, and if you are right handed yours will just come out opposite of mine. Right for left , left for right hand! :^)

Row 1)ch 23, dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch accross, ch2 (counts as first st now and throughout), turn
Row 2)BPDC around 2nd st, * FPDC around next st, BPDC in next st and in each st accross to last st, dc in last st, sl st to first ch2,
Row 3) ch1, sc in same st and in each st accross, sl st to first sc to form circle.
Now we will be working in rounds
Rnd 1) ch2 (does NOT count as first st, now and through out) dc in same st and in each st around, joing to top of first dc
Rnd 2-11) Repeat rnd 1
Rnd 12) ch2, dc in same st and in each st around to last 4 sts, ch3, skip next 2sts, dc in last 2sts, sl st to top of first dc.
Rnd 13) ch1, sc in same st and in each st around. Fasten off

Repeat for Right hand until Rnd 12
Rnd 12) ch2, dc in same st and in next st, ch3, skip next 2sts, dc in next st and in each st around, sl st to top of first dc
Rnd 13) ch1, sc in same st and in each st and ch around, fasten off weave in ends

Head Huggers

Someone asked me to make something for them. For all of us that have a ton of hair to put under a hat... This is what I came up with by looking at a few pictures. They are very easy and quick to make.

I used an H hook. The fall colored one is Red Heart Super Saver, the Earth tones is Lilys Sugar and Cream

Rnd 1) ch 62, sl st to first ch to form ring, being careful not to twist, ch3, (counts as first dc and ch1) * skip next ch, dc in next ch, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Rnd 2) sl st into ch 1 space, ch3, * skip next dc, dc in next ch1 space, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Repeat rnd 2 for desired length mine was about 8-9 inches.
Next rnd) ch1, Hdc in same st, hdc in each st around. st st to top of first hdc. Repeat this round for 8 more rnds.
Next Rnd) Reverse single crochet around. Fasten off weave in ends

Tie) Chain 65 add beads to each end, weave in first dc round.

Simple Little Striped Shrug

This is just a rough pattern of what I have done for this shrug. I looked and looked for something I liked that wouldn't take a lot of time and to do what was asked of me! My girls know what they like.

This pattern is very easily adjustable. It's mostly a matter of measuring who the finished product is for. I used a size 10 US needle,and a 9 US for the neck ribbing and Bernat Baby Jacquards. My daughter is in a size 10-12, and I knit kind of loose. I didn't do a gauge, sorry about that. I used less than one skein.

I cast on 32sts, and did K2, P2 for 10 rows slipping first st of each row through out shrug, this makes an easier line up for sewing.
K1 row
P1 row for a total length from beginning of 6 inches.(mine was for elbow length so you can add here or make shorter)
On every knit row I did- Slip one, knit front and back of next st (increase made) knit accross to last two sts, increase in next st, knit last st,
Slipping first st, purl next row. Increase as many rows as you want. I added about 12 sts.
I then knit accross however many inches for the back, measuring from sholder blade to shoulder blade. Once I had the right length I then started the decrease rows, slip first st, ssk, knit accross to last three sts, k2tog, knit last st, then purl the purl rows, until you have the starting amount of sts. knit stockinette sts (knit knit rows, purl purl rows) for same amount as beginning side before increasing. I then did the 10 rows of 2x2 ribbing.
Sew up from ribbing what you would like for sleeves depending on how long you make your shrug, since mine is shorter, I only sewed up about maybe 6 inches on each side. You want to make sure you leave enough room for putting on..Measuring is VERY good!
I then used a circular needle 9mm, and picked up stitches around the opening to make a 2x2 ribbing around.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I know this isn't really a clear pattern. I am just giving a rough estimate of what I made.

Seirras Sassy Scotch AKA Lyric

We had to take Levi back to his previous owner.. He has an old racing injury and was lame. So we hunted for a new horse! The night we took Levi home we decided on a chance to stop at a place that Judy knows really well and sells horses. She has bought two from him in the past. So showing up unannounced they have no chance of masking anthing that the horse might have. We were in luck. He had a mare that had just come back from a summer camp and was ready for a new home. Meet Seirras Sassy Scotch. She is a registered Quarter Horse with excellent blood lines. Only 8 years old and ready for just about anything. Needless to say I took her home. The guy also said she was in the pasture with his stallion (awesome horse by the way) and might possibly have been bred. Yay, bonus! She is a great little ride, but a bit confused by having a ton of kids pulling on her mouth all summer, but I will get her out of that soon. She just needs a firm hand. I'm so very excited!!!

Update, Finally named her my own name. We are going to call her Lyric

Diamond Granny Bag

I made this bag almost a year ago, but thought I would share this one too. It's another granny square bag, similar to the Get Your Granny On. Gauge is not important, I think I probably used an H hook or an I hook. You can find granny square patterns all over the net, in many different versions, this is just the original granny square.
This is just a rough explanation of what I did. Hopefully the picture will help you along a little.

I made 4 squares doing 8 rounds each. This is just a matter of preference, make larger or smaller by adjusting your rounds to what you like. I used two for the bottom standing on a corner and attach by either whip stitch or if you prefer single crochet to hold together. Start from one corner down one side and up the second. Then take another square for either side of bag and attach by floding in half by matching two corners together and fitting down the sides of the two bottom squares on each side. For a strap I just made a chain for whatever length, then hdc around adding a few stitches to the corners to make them rounded and then hdc along the back side of chain, and then sc around for round 2. I made mine long enough to be able to go from one shoulder and hang accross my opposite side. Being sure to remember that if you don't line the strap it will have to give to it and stretch some. I attached mine to the corner of the side squares. I did make a lining for this to keep all the little things in place. Please message me if you have any questions. I am just remembering this from the bag I gave away.

Levi

This is going to be the new man in my life. He is coming home on a trial basis, but I am sure we will keep him. The onwe is a little green and he is a little more for her than what she is ready for. We are picking him up tomorrow morning and I can't wait to ride. I have been riding my friends horses for a while and am ready to get on my own!

Littlest Pet Carrier

This is a small bag made by using the basic solid granny square. I used an H hook and worsted weight yarn. But anything really will do. Gauge is not important. It can be made larger or smaller by changing hook size or by changing the number of rows. You will need to know how to do a front post double crochet-FPDC and a back post double crochet-BPDC
A button for closing if desired

Girlie Cape

This is modeled by my 4 year old. It is made for my niece who is about 5. I used a no name yarn, but it's similar to Bernat Baby Coordinates. Knitting needles size 15, using two starnds held together. I used a botton as a closure for the top.

Cast on 40sts
Row 1) knit
Row 2) knit
Row 3) knit 1, *yo twice, knit 1, repeat from * accross, knit last st.
Row 4) knit 1,* drop both yo, knit next st, repeat from * accross,
Row 5) knit
Row 6) knit
Repeat row 3-6 for desired length
I had a total of 13 repeats for mine. This is easily adjusted by adding or subtracting stitches. The button I used was fairly large and fit through one of the holes made by the dropped stitches. I also cut lengths using two strands to make fringe at the bottom where the garter stitch rows are.

Another Four legged friend.

I have spent some time in the past week with another love of mine.. We went to a horse rescue with the gilrs to check things out. And then this past weekend we rescued one from a farm that still needs to have more taken away. It's a sad thing to see, but it was nice to see one come home that very much needed it. These are pictures of some friends of mine that I get enjoy on a regular basis.
