Small Size Muffler:

Fig 1

Hello friends,

This red colour Muffler I made for my grand daughter (Fig 1). The yarn used is 6 ply and it's final size is 7" x 50".
I started with 34 stitches for the width 7", then I simply worked Brioche stitch. I like this stitch and I hope that all my viewers should also know how to make Brioche stitch for that I made video in my channel which you can see below. Though it is in Marathi, it has English subtitles.

Fig 2

First let us make a sample and then actually start a muffler.

Brioche Stitch Sample:  Cast on even number of stitches.  Row 1 is Set-up row and it is,
R 1: (Yarn forward, slip 1 as if to purl, knit 1) repeat till end.
R 2: ( Yarn forward slip 1, K2tog) repeat till end.
Now repeat only row 2 till the required height is reached.

Fig 3

The pattern looks beautiful (fig 2) for muffler moreover it is stretchy.
Lastly bind off all sts.
Note: While binding off the sts, ka, next you can see pair of sts which we can treat as if one st, knit it and as usual pass first worked sssst over this.

Finally put tassels. The videos with English subtitles are shared for Brioche stitch and Tassels.

Knitted Baby Wrap Dress 19, Kimono

Mother's Day Special Wrap Jacket:

Fig 1

 Hello friends,
Attachment is a emotional bond between any two person and that too when you think about your kids, it cannot be described in words. Since the birth of baby, baby-mother attachment bond is developing. Mother is always eager to hear from her child and what to say if momy hears the whispering of her child that "I Love Mom".

This Mother's Day Special Wrap jacket has same feelings. Imagine just your baby whispering that "I Love Mom".

This jacket starts with back side from bottom. The yarn I have selected is Baby Bee Soft Delight, Banana colour. It's really a nice yarn in 4 ply. I used UK 10 number knitting needles. It's final measurements are, length 9.5" and width 7.5".
Note: For better edge, always purl last st and slip first st of every row as if to knit.

Then 12 sts are increased on both sides. (Fig 3)
Repeat this two more times (Fig 4). Then there will be 36+48+36=120 sts
Continue working Garter st for 2.5" more. (Fig 5)
Neck: Now next row,
K51, BO 18, K 51.
Then work only last 51 sts, place first 51 sts on stitch holder.

Then it will look as Fig 6. Knit these 51 sts, two more rows.

Fig 6

Now we shall increase 1 st every alternate row from neck side. For that from next row last 3 sts will be worked as Kfb, K1, P1 for every alternate row. Kfb means knit front and back. Continue this till the sts on the needle are 64 (13 increased). See fig 7.

Now go on BO 12 sts of sleeve in alternate row from wrist side, three times by the way 1 st increase on neck side continued..
Further go on increasing 1 st in alternate row from neck side till the sts are 48. (Fig 8)

Cute Crochet Cap - Bonnet Type

Hello friends,
Sorry again for a big gap. Here I made a bonnet type baby cap in crochet which is very good in fitting. The yarn I used is Baby Bee sweet delight in Celery colour. The yarn is really very good, being 4 ply, it's just like the Vardhamaan yarn generally people use in India. Hence I can use it for my You tube channel Kalopasak. Because otherwise the gauge changes and I cannot make it's video for my subscribers.

In USA I saw most of the yarns with recommended knitting needle 5 mm (as needed here) or more than that but here it is 4 mm and that's why I liked this yarn very much. You can see it's close up, it has no threads getting out, moreover it is smooth.

For this project I use 3 mm crochet hook.
Strip: Ch 8 +1
R 1: single crochet (sc) in each ch, ch 1 turn
R 2: sc in back loop of each st, ch 1 turn
R 3: and all rows as R 2 till the required length reached. I made 12", it;s width is 2" and there are 32 strips.

Fig 2

Fig 3

Fog 4

Then go on making sc along the length, two in each strip (63 sts) See fig 2.
R1: sc 1 in each st
Repeat R 1 till the length is 6" from bottom. See fig 3.

Fig 5

 Then divide all 63 sts in three parts and work the middle part same as sc part. (Fig 4) Work till the height is equal to the 1/3 part in the beginning of this middle extension because we want to sew it later.

Fig 6

After sewing the two parts the bonnet will look like fig 6. Note that the sewing should be very smooth.

Then go on making double crochet 1 on the bottom part of this bonnet. This is row 1.
R2: (FPdc 1 on next dc, BPdc 1 on next) repeat till end.
R 3: FPdc on FPdc and BP dc on BP

Then make a cord of chains and pass through this bottom strip. Make two beautiful flowers for the end of this chord. I made small drop shapes (see fig 7) for these two ends of the cord. Also make a simple chain to pass.

Fig 7

Lastly I make two beautiful pom pom for the top edge and sew them as shown.

Fig 9

The beautiful baby bonnet is ready here see fig 8 and 9. It's side look is as in fig 10.
