More Details

New Zealand sock designer Belinda Too (Blendy) has created this collection of 16 socks for adults and children, with an ability level to suit all knitters. Sock knitting has a reputation for being very difficult, but it doesn’t have to be – eager beginners will be grafting their first baby sock in no time.

‘Blendy Knits Socks’ is ideal for lazy knitters (as Blendy self-professes she is) – too much complicated lace or cable makes a frustrating project – so these sock patterns mainly use clever stitches that are easy to remember, fast to knit, and best of all, look like you’ve got some absolutely incredible knitting skills! And, as an added bonus, Blendy also shows how you can turn any sock pattern into fabulous fingerless gloves.

‘Blendy Knits Socks’ includes technical advice plus hints and tips for sock knitting, and 16 patterns rated for beginner, intermediate and advanced knitting ability. A showcase of beautiful New Zealand sock yarns features throughout the book.

Sleeping Bag Mouse Pattern

When I was a child, my great-grandmother’s friend made me a little toy that I loved to play with – a mouse in a sleeping bag. I recently found it in my old toy box, and my children have been playing happily with my beaten up old knitted toy, and I decided to made an updated version!

And here it is, the Sleeping Bag Mouse. It’s a cute little baby toy that uses up 4ply odds and ends from your stash. The sleeping bag is knitted in one piece, including the pillow. The mouse is mostly knitted in one piece, except for the arms which poke out cutely from the sleeping bag. It is a fairly easy pattern – mostly knitted in the round to prevent seams, and some areas use Kitchener stitch to graft (or you could cast off and sew the seam if you prefer).

Pattern will be emailed to you.
