Updating

Some of my patterns use techniques that you may not already have in your knitting toolchest, so I have a page on my website devoted to explaining these, I have just added "applied i-cord" feel free to have a look, you never know what you may find useful.


I'm working on more pleats and tucks, they help to give the garment a rounded organic look that is difficult to find usually when you are working with straight edges.

and the applied i-cord makes for a very nicely shaped neckline.

Aviatrix Baby Helmet

Here is the pattern for those who have not yet joined Ravelry (you know you really should...)

a few notes:
- work more rows at the back for a snugger fit
- thinner yarn smaller hat, thicker yarn bigger hat - adults have made these for themselves!
- 2 buttonholes mean the strap will fit longer
- knit the wraps or don't knit the wraps, I really don't care, it is your preference (btw, I didn't)
