Hilde's Corner

Easter holiday is soon upon us! Need some cute Easter basket additions? 


How about these super cute carrot pouches - Little Carrot Pouch by Clickety Sticks. This knitting pattern is free, and uses Worsted weight yarn. A great way to use up any leftovers one might have! Otherwise Uptown Worsted would be a really great choice for these fun treat bags.


And this is adorable - they transform! Easter Egg Flips Bunny & Chick by Ling Ryan go from an Easter egg to a bunny or chick in seconds. The pattern is crochet and sells for about $4.69 on Ravelry. It uses DK weight yarn and I think Ricorumi DK would be excellent for this. 

Or how about a crocheted Easter egg that you can fill with something fun? Easter Egg Surprise by Caitie Moore is a free pattern, also using DK weight. Again, Ricorumi DK would work great for this. The designer says her pattern for Itty Bitty Kitty (also free!) fits perfectly inside the Easter Egg. Super cute!


And I can’t help but suggest these silly, little chickens, what with my Norwegian heritage, and they just make me laugh! Easter Chickens Norwegian Style by Bente Presterud. They’re about $4 on Ravelry, for knitters, and made for any gauge yarn! Knitting a bit of stranded colorwork puts a Norwegian stamp on it, but they can be made without any colorwork, too.

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Free Pattern - Moose Mountain Cowl

Materials:  Yarnalia Cloud - 50g / 142 Yards - Main Color = Grey, Contrast Color = Blue 70% Baby Alpaca 7% Merino Wool 23%Recycled Polyamide US13 24” Circular Knitting Needles   1 Stitch Marker   Gauge : 12.5 stitches per 4” in Pattern Finished Measurements:  Jen’s  Pattern Notes:  We love using this little knitting hack of knitting one round when we change our colors. This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know).  We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times       ⃞          ⃞...
