Bumble Bee

Today’s knitting project is an adorable little bumblebee.

I found a set of free patterns from Valley Yarns of animals made from a simple ball.

This ball was knitted in the round with yellow and black stripes.  After stuffing the ball, tiny wings were knitted flat and added to the sides.  The addition of two 6/0 beads and an embroidered mouth completed this quick project.

If you would like to make your own, you can download the pattern here.

Happy Knitting.

Some Bunny Loves You

Today I’m sending you lots of love with the help of this little bunny.

I began with a free pattern, by Sara Elizabeth Kellner, I found on Ravelry.  The pattern began at the neck and knitted in the round to the tail.  The cast on stitches were then picked up to knit the head and ears.  I added a pair of 6/0 black beads for eyes.

The original pattern included attachable legs that I omitted. I did add a little pom pom tail to finish him off.

If you would like to knit your own bunny the pattern can be found here.

Happy Knitting.

 

Baby Hat

If the Big Bow Hat is not your style, and you prefer a more subtle flair, check out this adorable baby bow hat.

I began with a free pattern I found online here. This cute hat used a little bit of contrasting yarn to create a huge wow factor.  The bow was super easy to make, but a little plain compared to the Big Bow Hat.

If I were to knit this again, I think I would merge the two hats together and create a small bow in the style of the large one.

Happy Knitting!
