I wanted to design something for brand new knitters who have had some practice knitting and purling and are ready for the challenge of a first project . Each pattern is simply a rectangle and includes only Knit and Purl stitches with no shaping at all and only a small amount of simple finishing.
I think brand new knitters need to have a sweet little project to look forward to at the early stages of learning. A small sense of accomplishment goes a long way.
These are quick projects for any knitter, beginner or otherwise, and would make beautiful gifts. In the near future, I'll be putting a link to this pattern's free PDF in my sidebar. If you'd like to see it now, here it is. It can also be found on my Ravelry page. Does that link work if you aren't a Ravelry user? I wonder.
My cousin's baby is still waiting patiently for his new log cabin pillow. Babies are so patient, aren't they? The baby's grandparents came for a visit this weekend and I was compelled to send them off with a little placeholder gift.Labels: adult hat, simple knits
