Dungarees and Pom Pom Bootes – Knitting Pattern

Hey there, fellow knitters! Are you ready to add some new items to your baby’s wardrobe? I am excited to share with you this adorable pattern for Dungarees and Pom Pom Booties from our A Walk in the Woods collection, Design 5438. It looks like I have a thing for dungarees and these may be my new obsession as I have written about them a few times in the last month or so.

This pattern is designed to coordinate with a Snuggly cardigan, sweater, or dress to create a complete outfit. The dungarees are made with stocking stitches and feature short row shaping to create room for your baby’s nappy. The button front fastening will make baby changes a breeze. The cute moss stitch booties are finished off with a pom-pom detail for an added touch of cuteness.

This pattern is rated as intermediate level, so it’s perfect for those who have a little bit of experience with knitting but want to try something new. And If you love this collection and want to see more patterns like this, you might like the book, A Walk In The Woods, which includes all the designs from this collection for even better value. Get ready to create something truly special for the little one in your life with this Dungarees and Pom Pom Booties pattern. Happy knitting!

I don’t even know what to say about this amazing knitting pattern. The Bestiary Scarf from Monstra & Mirabilia is so full of details it’s a little intimidating to talk about.

It features, as the designer describes it, an “artistic encyclopaedia of Western mythical creatures.”

The pattern includes a dragon, harpy, Medusa, chimaera, centauress, phoneix, kraken, mermaid, sew serpent, cyclops, wyvern, Pegasus, amphiptere and amphibaena. (It’s a good thing there’s a photo of the proejct with everything labelled because I definitely didn’t know the names for everything.) It’s also designed like a landscape, with water and land creatures toward the bottom ends and sky creatures toward the top.

The dragon is at the center and is worked sideways so it will show as upright when you wear it.

The scarf is worked in double knitting, so the colorwork appears in the opposite colors on the other side.

It’s worked in light fingering weight yarn (on size 0 US or 2mm knitting needles) and the colorwork is shown in charts. The pattern also includes some video tutorials and written instructions to help you along. The designer says the pattern is for intermediate knitters, and “advanced beginners may succeed with patience and the help of the video tutorials.”

When I was an advanced beginner this kind of a pattern would have brought me to tears, but if you love a challenge, and a project that you’ll wear and get tons of astonished reactions every time, this is the project for you. And of course if you have a few double knitting projects under your belt and are comfortable reading charts, this project shouldn’t be hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s fast. But lots of great things take time, and that’s never stopped us before, right?
