Cowl-a-Bunga Knitting Pattern

Cowl-a-Bunga





This is my newest knitting design. I call it Cowl-A-Bunga because it has HUGE stitches and has an over sized look. This look is all the rage for fall. It can be worn as a scrunchy cowl, hooded cowl to keep your ears toasty or as a off the shoulder capelet.
It is knit big for lots of warmth and knits up quickly. It can be started one evening and finished the next!
It is lightweight and very versatile. It has 3 button holes on one end and on the other 3 closure ruffles and 2 mega i-cords with wooden beads on the ends. You can wear it many different ways and I have shown just a few here.

Modeled by my beautiful niece Alexis!

Oh my... Am I sewing?

It has been FOREVER since I have sewed anything! However, today I pulled out my serger and sewing machine to make the staff in Dr. Sharmas office some Christmas surgeons caps. I found the pattern at Hancock Fabrics when they were on sale for 99 cents which today is a steal! Patterns have went WAY up in price since I last sewed anything.

I did have to adjust the pattern somewhat to how I wanted them to look. I took a sample cap from the doctor's office to go by. I think they came out pretty good and I'm surprised I remembered how to use my sewing machine and serger!



Here is the one I made for Dr. Sharma. I ironed on this cute Taz patch to the front and I'm sure he'll get a kick out that. The other 3 are for the 2 guys and 1 gal that assist him while doing surgeries.


 
I hope they like them~!

UPDATE:

Here is Dr. Sharma wearing his TAZ! I told him to smile and he frowned...always being silly!

Announcing Carousel Beret

Carousel Beret

a design by Connie Haney

Pattern includes directions for Beret Version and Slouch Version!

Baby = 14” – 16” head circumference
Child/Pre-Teen = 17” – 19” head circumference
Adult = 20” – 23” head circumference

This pattern isn’t at all hard, but I wouldn’t call it a beginner pattern either. You should be familiar with increasing and decreasing and knitting in the round.

Pattern includes directions for Beret Version and Slouch Version. The font for each is a different color in the pattern to help you follow along more easily.

A floppy beret in 2 versions with a picot hem and decorative ribbon row, with a cute tied i-cord loop at the top.

For the beret version the top of the hat tilts easily like a beret. The slouch version is more rounded, sits flat and doesn’t tilt as much. It can sit at the top of the head like a beret, but looks better pulled down more like a cloche.

$5.99

Iced Coffee Sweat-R

Iced Coffee Sweat-R

a design by Connie Haney

Pattern includes directions for crocheted and knitted bottom!

You know no matter if you are in the cool air of AC in your car, coffee house, or your home that condensation drips from your cup and drips on your clothes, knitting or book and is a constant aggravation.

Now you don’t have to use a coaster or napkin that sticks to your cup and doesn’t work anyway! Just use an Iced Coffee Sweat-R! It will soak up all of those drips and looks pretty darn cute too!

I’ve used these on a Large Coffee Coolata at Dunkin Donuts and they fit! They also can be used as a cola can cover and the cord lock cinches it on so it doesn’t slip off!

Tuck the top down inside the bottom and use the cord lock and pull to close tight and you have a cute little ball to throw in your purse or glove compartment, that way it’s always handy for your Iced Coffee fix for the day!

You can pick up the cord locks in assorted colors for penny’s at Hancock Fabrics or find them online.
