Just For Fun Friday Freebies!
With kids in mind, here are some gift-type patterns that are also fairly quick to knit!
Sock Monkeys are hotter than ever! How about one you can wear? The Cheeky Monkey Beanie from PolarKnit is sure to please even the die-hard non-hat wearer! FYI, Polarknit is a totally synthetic wool imitator - why not just use the real thing? (In superwash for easy care!)
Knitted toys never get forgotten, especially when they can provide as many hours of fun as the Zany Puppetina from Classic Elite Yarns! Add a little creativity and this basic design can be anything from a horse to a giraffe and everything in between! Change the color and make a chicken - or a princess? Great way to use up synthetics for toss-in-the-machine simplicity!
And for the (maybe teenage?) finicky female on your gift list, how about these PT Reyes Mitts also from Classic Elite Yarns? Fingerless mitts are SO handy - not to mention not too tough to knit! These have a lovely looks-like-you-really-fussed lace pattern that's easier than it looks. Choose a basic solid if you don't know the color of her favorite jacket or dress them up with beads for a stand-out look!
