Knitting A Fendi Fake

by

We all hate when people steal out ideas and even worse our knitting patterns but I had to mention this Fendi “inspired” bag created by Cara. One can argue that it’s not copyrighted as it is different from the original, including the handle style. The point is it’s adorable and I am sure we all are going to have a go at making it.

  1. the Clara BeBe site is closed? here is the message: Please take note that i have removed the blog and sales sections.

    I have been and would still be busy for quite sometimes.

    Hopefully I would be free to pick up my knitting soon. Enjoy crafting!

    You still can access and join the Knitters Community, a crafts discussion board 🙁

  3. I love Fendi and searched and searched and cannot find anything on Clara BeBe site other than she closed her site. What a shame! Maybe this would have been the closest I would have gotten to owning a Fendi. 🙁 Maybe one of you clever users can find Cara!

  5. The closest pattern for the Fendi bag is at berroco.com (free pattern fantissimo and crystal)with some adjustments I think it will be very close.

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
