Using the basic structure of my Wren Shawl, I made a little one as a gift for a friend who loves dolls. Leftover yarn from my very first “real” socks.
my mother in law saw a case like this in a sunglasses store for like $40. I whipped it up quick in less than an episode of TV.
Rather than using the cable pattern in the SNB book, I really liked lixolux’s picture and so I tried making a 6 stitch plait (from Knitting on the Edge). That worked out great, I just had to adjust where the cable started by moving a few stitches between the needles, and a little more adjusting…
Single crochet with handle area.
pattern is not in database yet. need to weigh remainder yarn, it was about 3 1/2 skeins. May or may not do the flower, may also add a ribbon to the top to tie. listed September 18, 2010.
gauge is 6 st/in, between fingering and DK on needles in between those as well. Casting on the fingering size 12mo and it will just be slightly big so she can wear it longer probably doing short sleeves.
