Calves, Turtles, & More...
A MIX/match of pattern choices to choose from. Be it LEG WARMERS with a matching HEAD BAND, to a TURTLE NECK (close fitting cowl), to cute BOOT TOPPERS.
These versatile pieces have so many possibilities, for size, yarn type, beading if desired, and of course a little bit of your own imagination thrown in for good measure,
It’s a recipe filled with instant gratification. These pieces work up quickly with an afternoon and/or evening of ‘knitting in the round’.
Don’t let your imagination stop here, as you can certainly add any of these ‘workable/wearable thingies’ with other patterns like mitts or hats.
Possibilities radiate, so get those needles heated up for some warm and comfy accessory ‘thingies’.
CALVES~Cute “SQUISH-ABLE” Leg Warmers, to keep your “calves” happy and fashionably dramatic. Using some beads, add a little sparkle, when least expected.
TURTLE ‘COW’L~A versatile ‘turtleneck’ for close fitting, and different size instructions for longer ‘cow’l results. Add some beads and you’ve got a little glitz.
HEADBAND Quick with terrific results. Bead if you’d like, for just a hint of glitter.
BOOT TOPPERS~Quick results for a little fashion statement.
Versatile patterns, to mix/match and enjoy.
Knit in the round-no muss/no fuss.
A couple of woven ends to put in their place, and you’re finished.
Bulky, Worsted, Aran, DK all work.
(Suggested weights are considered so you’ll have something with a bit of structure)
Beading OPTIONAL
Leg Warmers-Approx 250-450 yards (228m-412m)
Boot Toppers-Approx 125-300 yards (114.3m-274.3m)
Turtle Neck ‘Cow’l - 200-600 yards (182.8m-548.7m)
HeadBand- next to nothing 50-100 yards (45.7m-91.4m)
Sizes and yardage will vary depending on yarn choice combined with needle choice.
Bead sizes-Size 3 (not to be confused with 3mm beads)work GREAT for Worsted/Aran/Bulky/DK. Here is one site that has the large holed beads. http://www.fusionbeads.com
Also http://www.firemountaingems.com has a Triangle No.5 bead, for a nice wide bead hole opening.
