Mitts for Corgi Dog Lovers

February 27, 2013 by Sarah White

dog mittens just crafty enoughKat at Just Crafty Enough is a prolific knitter (and coming from me, that’s saying something) who is super creative and clearly has a lot of fun with the projects she designs.

When a friend asked for mittens recently, Kat whipped up some beauties with a deep flared cuff and corgis stitched on the backs of the hands.

Thanks to popular demand for more dog mitts, she also has charts for knitting a dachshund, beagle, yorkie, lab and pug onto your mittens. How cute is that!

Now you can walk your dog in winter in style.

    Thanks Sarah! These were a blast to make.

Knit a Linen Stitch Hot Pad

Linen stitch is one of my favorite knitting stitch patterns that, every time I use it in a project, I think about how I don’t use it often enough. 

It’s an easy stitch to make, with slip stitches done with the yarn held to the front of the work on the right/front side and to the back on the wrong/back side, which makes the strand of yarn a visible part of the pattern. 

It also makes a fabric that is thick and looks kind of like a woven fabric.

I recently used linen stitch to make a double-thick pot holder, which I worked in a kind of interesting way. I didn’t want to have to do any sewing on the project, so I started it from a crochet cast on and picked up stitches from the side of the cast on to make the hot pad all in one piece in the round with the edge sealed. 

This requires working on two circular needles, which is another technique I don’t use that often and am always reminded how much I like it when I do. 

The combination of double thickness and the stitch pattern makes for a hot pad that’s already pretty thick, but I also added a bit of old towel to the inside before I closed up the end to make it super thick and extra protective for your surfaces. 

I found the engineering challenge of this construction method to be a lot of fun, but you could also just knit it as a tube (casting on twice as many stitches as I did) and sew up the ends by hand when the knitting is done. Either way you’ve got a useful and pretty addition to your kitchen, whether you work it in a solid color, stripes or as a stash busting project will all your cotton odd balls. 

You can grab the pattern over at Our Daily Craft, or check it out on Ravelry.
