Make sure you run your ends through on of the knitted rows to hide them. I show you how on the video.

Ideas Remember that the hat can change in size by increasing the number of rows. If you want a wider hat you need to increment the number of stitches proportionally.

Knit 48 rows, if the person has thin hands. Knit more rows for wider hands.The gloves should fit snuggle around the hands.Sew from the top of the square about 2 inches. Make tight knot and weave in end.Sew about 5 inches from the bottom.

Cool tip: Decorate your fingerless gloves with some ribbon at the bottom making a bow or add some cute crochet flowers, figures or characters.

This is a super simple yet very useful gift for everyone.

It is a knitted Wash Cloth made with your favorite yarn ( you may wan to use something soft like cotton or acrylic yarn would do) .

The idea is to knit the Cloth itself with a little crochet ear at the end. Then ‘crunching’ it together into a puff and putting a bar of soap inside (preferably wrapped, they just need to get the idea that it’s for washing) and tied up with a bow that has been interwoven in the cloth.

Our most popular gift idea and an original from Joanne.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:                                                      

Size 8 needlesCotton yarn.

Cast on 5 stitches.Knit 2 rows. Next row: Knit 2 stitches, knit next stitch from the front and from the back,                 knit last 2 stitches=6Next Row: Knit.

Increase Rows:Knit 3 stitches, yarn over, knit to end of row.Do this at the beginning of each row.Knit until you have the sides as long as you want it. Ex: Size 8 needles=55 stitches.
