My favorite on the go project

My favorite on-the-go project has to be a tube scarf. I love taking bits of yarn leftover from other projects and making them into something usable. Plus, I can totally chat and drink and not worry about messing up my pattern.

Here is my recipe...

US3-16" circular knitting needle

Crochet hook about the size of your knitting needle

100-200g fingering weight yarn (depends on if you want a single wrap or a double wrap)

Waste Yarn

**PATTERN**

Using the US3-16" circular knitting needle AND the crochet hook, provisionally cast on enough stitches to stretch around the 16" needle (I do 100 or so, do what you like!)

Set-up Rounds: For 2 rounds knit with your first color. Be sure to not use up ALL of this color as at the very end you will knit 1 round with this color then kitchener it closed with this color as well!

For the whole scarf, you will knit 4 rounds with 1 color then 4 rounds with another color, then switch back to the first color and repeat until one of the colors runs out or you are tired of using it. Bring in another color whenever you like!

When you are out of yarn or just tired of the project, knit that last round with your original color, get your stitches live from your provisional cast on and kitchener closed to make a tube!

Another option would be...

A tube scarf like this one that you don't have to graft together at the ends!!

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!
