V's-Beanie recipe

ok, I really don't have a name for this beanie, but I've been knitting them

for years, so now with Vincent's being the last one knit, he gets the name :)
this hat fits a 1 year old as well as the 7 year old in the picture.

Ingredients:
***************
use any standard 8ply wool 70-80g should accommodate very well. (will work with 10ply as well)
darning needle
5mm circular needles, 40cms length

Method:
***************
cast on 84 (size with fit approx 7yrs.)
knit 2xrib for 10 rows.
knit stockingette for 50 rows.
place stitches onto two dpn's and graft the two rows together using your preferred method(makes a
cleaner seam)
alternatively, you can cast off and seam this line using a darning needle.
now once that is done, secure all threads within the beanie and you have the choice of adding pom poms or tassels.

For this beanie I'm making tassels.

ok, this is my recipe for Circ Bunnies!!
they are quiet, but when you are done, they need cuddles as they get a little traumatised from being stuffed.

ok, I will be making my tute over the next couple of days. I have found a way to make a funky, CHEAP nappy, that can reduce the amount of fabric you use and waste and yet still be VERY absorbent and contain as much as you need. Also standard nappies can be day or night nappies!! just add in another booster! Nappies can be made as a sized nappy or I will be adding in a pattern when I figure out how, to make a One size nappy. Any fabric design can be sewn to the back, or embroidery, or any funkyish thing you want. I tend to use micro-fleece as an inner, but suede cloth or even flannel to keep all cotton is ok. This is not particularly a trim nappy as you sew a three fold booster (hemp bamboo, cotton) and the nappy accommodates this.

this is the picture gallery of some I have made, Tutorial to follow soon!!
