new crochet pattern - woolly lamb by kim miller.

Skill Level: Intermediate

You can create your very own adorable, woolly lamb!

This crocheted lamb is packed with personality! The legs and head are felted, whereas the body and cap are left unfelted. This combination of texture is what adds to his character making him truly unique.

This crochet pattern calls for Patons® Classic Wool for felting [100 g (3.5 oz)/190 meters (210 yds) per ball, which is a worsted weight (4)] in the following colours: 1/3 of a ball of Dark Grey Mix, 1/2 of a ball Natural Mix and scraps of black. You will also need a 3.50 mm (E) crochet hook, washable fiberfill, popcorn kernels (or filling of choice), a 38 gauge all purpose felting needle, a yarn needle, a 14 mm (.55”) bell (optional) and a bit of string to attach the bell.

The pattern calls for the following stitches: sl st, sc, sc2tog, and bobble.

The finished lamb measures approximately 12.7 cm (5”) tall excluding the legs. Please note that size is approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of wool.

sneak peek.

It seems like I've been working on the crochet pattern for this little guy forever...

Now, all that's left is to assemble the woolly lamb shown below. 

Well...of course I will also have to take pictures of each step as I assemble him, which will then be followed by picture editing. Next, I will insert the figure pictures in the pattern, do a final tech edit, and then the pattern will be ready for publication. Soooo....there is still lots of work to be done, but don't despair! I'm getting very close, and I hope that you will be as excited as me when this crochet pattern finally goes live!

photo gallery - felted toddler slip-ons.

We absolutely love it when our customers share pictures of their finished projects made from our patterns. Check out these awesome Felted Toddler Slip-ons made by Laura of LKsCreativeThread. 

 

I love them!! The little embellishments are the perfect touch to these slippers. She used ribbon across the top of the foot and handmade the little flowers. How you ask? I was curious too so I had to ask! "The flowers I handmade with wool felt I also got at Joanne s . I made the flowers behind cutting a round (how big I wanted the flower) then cut into it a spiral then rolled it and sewed it together then sewed them on. It was so much fun.. possibilities are endless!" Laura says.

And if her creativity on these slippers weren't enough, here is another pair that she made using the same pattern!

Isn't this little guy precious?? And look at him sporting his new "cookie monster" slippers.  Laura created these slippers using KnitPicks yarn. The eyes were added by using some white acrylic yarn and a bit of black felt.  They are adorable!

As Laura said, the possibilities are endless!  We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with for their finished projects.  Please feel free to share your pictures with us either by emailing us at knotsewcute@gmail.com or by posting your projects on www.ravelry.com.

Be sure to check out Laura and Kristine's Etsy shop, LKsCreativeThread for more wonderful knit and crocheted creations! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

cow baby slip-ons.

I was just searching through our etsy archives when I stumbled across this picture of some Felted Baby Slip-ons that I had made way back in 2009, and I just had to share.

 

Aren't they super sweet? They make me smile! I remember that I couldn't get the spots right so I had to get my daughter, whose very artistic, to needle felt them on for me. I have some baby showers coming up and finding this picture has inspired me want to make up another pair.

 

This great little pattern for the "Felted Baby Slip-ons" is designed by my friend and business partner, Tara Schreyer. They are quick and easy to work up, and once they are felted they make an excellent blank canvas to embellish or needle felt anyway that your heart desires.
