Free Baby Booties Pattern

July 8, 2010 by Terrye

Well the good news is that it’s not broken! See I hurt my arm. And it really really hurt. Alot. Dr thought it was a stress fracture. Had all the obligatory tests and all it is is tendonitis. But just guess at what’s on the top 5 list of what NOT to do with tendonitis! Yeah, that’s right. No Knitting! Almost be better if it WAS broken. I already know I can knit with a cast!!

Anyway, as hot as it has been up here, I’m not sure this is the best pattern, but what the heck. It’s free. Baby booties made out of angora! Click here to get the directions!

Specific to knitters, you can join our Knitting Patterns Only group to get, well, knitting patterns, ask questions and gain inspiration for what to knit next.

    Take care of yourself. It’s time to pick up a new, one-handed craft.

    lol, one handed craft, eh? Maybe I can tape the needle to my one hand and then knit with the other!

    I’ve been there, tendonitis, and it’s a pain!! And knitting was really hard.
    Hope you’re feelling better really soon!

    Thanks! I’m giving it another week, then, likely we’re gonna go in search of some duct tape! lol

    I’ve just started physio for rotator cuff/shoulder tendinitis. Also triggered by…knitting.

    Any idea how long you have to avoid knitting?

    Hi,
    I really don’t know how long to avoid it. I avoided it until it quit hurting (which was actually never, cause in my real time life I’m a farmer who lifts and throws too many heavy things). As soon as I started knitting again it started hurting again. I’m experimenting with a way to knit without moving the fingers and wrist of that hand, basically just as if I had a rubber band around my wrist, holding the needle, and I do all of the motions with my other hand. This is working. It’s frustratingly slow, but it’s working, and it’s much better than not knitting!
    Good luck!

More Summer Shirts to Knit

It wasn’t that long ago that I shared a post full of summer T-shirt knitting patterns, but any visit to Ravelry lately will show you that many more have been published since then. So I thought I would share a few more. All of these are from Ravelry except this first one, just so you know. 

While I say these are for summer, Lion Brand Yarn calls this one a Seasonless Raglan, and really they all are. You can wear a short-sleeved sweater over a dress or another top with short or long sleeves, or wear it as a layer under a sweater in the winter. This particular one is seasonless because it uses a light worsted weight yarn and is cropped to go with all your outfits. It comes in nine sizes with a chest measurement ranging from 33 to 65 inches, or 84 to 165 cm. The pattern is free or you can buy a kit with the yarn from Lion Brand. 

I also love the simplicity of the Linar Tee from Joana Filip. This one has double folded hems for extra sleekness, and it comes in nine sizes. Actual chest circumference ranges from 32 to 63 inches/80 to 160 cm, and it’s meant to be worn with about 2 inches/5 cm of positive ease. 

If you like a top with a lot of options built in, check out the Angel Tee from mabelle knitting. This one can have short or long sleeves, and the short sleeves can have ribbing or a folded hem. There are also 11 sizes, with a finished bust circumference of 30.3 to 55.5 inches/77 to 141 cm. It should be worn with 0-2 inches/0-5 cm of positive ease. 

The Billie Tee from The Knit Purl Girl is a more relaxed, boxy top you’ll love to throw on when relaxing around the house or running errands. It’s worked in a fingering weight silk yarn for plenty of luxury, and the stripes add a bit of fun. It comes in 12 sizes, with actual chest measurement of the garment ranging from 37.5 to 65 inches, or 95 to 165 cm. It’s recommended to be knit with 6-8 inches/ 15-20 cm positive ease for the smaller sizes and 4-8 inches/10-20 cm for the larger ones. 

Another cute striped top comes from Irene Lin. Her Lustre tee uses sport weight yarn and narrower stripes, and is worked from the top down. There are 10 available sizes, with a finished circumference of 35 to 62 inches/89 to 158 cm, and is recommended to be knit with 0-4 inches, or 0 to 10 cm, of positive ease.
