MÒR GOES ROUND


This design is an 'in-the-round' version of MÒR, my Level II Knitting for Beginners class pattern.  And, it comes with all the same great features of that pattern.



Super Bulky yarn is used to make this a quick knit.  No matter what your skill level is, you will find this to be a perfect last minute gift idea, as it knits up in just a couple of nights.



Choose between a super slouchy version (shown here), or a more subtle slouch (see top photo).  Instructions are provided for both, as well as sizing for adult and child.



Plus, you are guided through the pretty spiral decrease at the crown with row-by-row instructions.



Interested in knitting this project?  Here is some helpful information.


SIZES: 
  • Child - 43-46cm (17-18”) [Ladies - 53-56cm (21-22”)]

GAUGE:  8 sts/10 rows = 10cm (4") in Stocking Stitch using 12mm (US17) needles

MATERIALS:  
  • 2-50g balls Big Softie by Sirdar (45m/ 50g)
  • 1 pair 8mm (US11) circular needle
  • 1 pair 12mm (US17) circular needle
  • 1 set 12mm (US17) DPN
  • 1 stitch marker

Quick and fun to knit, this project makes for a great gift or an addition to your own winter wardrobe.




MÒR



Students learning to knit deserve a fun and stylish project.  For teaching Level I Knitting for Beginners, I use my HONEY cowl pattern.  In Level II, my students make MÒR.  It is a slouchy beret, that is knit flat and them seamed.



Super Bulky yarn is used to make this a quick knit, and also create stitches that are easy to identify when sewing up.  And, no matter what your skill level is, you will find this to be a perfect last minute gift idea, as it knits up in just a couple of nights.



Choose between a super slouchy version (seen at top), or a more subtle slouch (shown here).  Instructions are provided for both, as well as sizing for adult and child.

HONEY


Created for my Level I Knitting for Beginners class, this is a quick and easy project.  The original purpose for the design, means the pattern is worked flat and them seamed, and includes row-by-row instructions.  Rather than the typical "continue in established pattern, until...", you can follow along just reading the next row of instructions.



A pretty, but simple slip stitch pattern creates the honeycomb textured effect in this project.



Great for a last minute gift idea, this cowl can be worked up in just a couple of nights.  It can be knit using one strand of super bulky weight yarn (seen here in Sirdar's Indie, col# 164), 2 strands of bulky weight, or 4 strands of worsted (see top photo, in 4 strands of Cascade 220, col# 8400).  So, you can have a lot of fun using up stash yarn, combining different colours and textures, you name it.
