Bunnies {free pattern}

[показать]

I am obsessed with trying to find ways to use up scraps of yarn and leftover partial skeins. If you don’t believe me or haven’t been following long enough you can check these out: Pencil Sleeves, Curvy Pouch, Picture Frames, Pencil Toppers andCoasters.

I have been wanting to make bunnies for a long time and yesterday the idea just popped in my head and I made a bunny.

Curvy Pouch {a free knitting pattern}

I hate those half skein leftovers.  They take up valuable space that could house full skeins.  Yes I have lots of those half skeins or less.  So, last night I decided to find a use for them and since my husband was out for the evening I made 2 in a couple of hours.  They take around 50 m /60 yards of yarn and are seamless, knit from the top down.

They would make great gifts or stocking stuffers. I made mine on the smallish side (6.5 inches across and 4 inches high) but the pattern includes information on how to make the size you want.
I am using it to carry my knitting notions.

And yes those are cable needles, I got them a couple of weeks ago because I have been eyeing those pretty cables for a while now and I think I am ready to learn cabling.
