WaTcH OuT...

I think these little guys are breeding...

A few readers asked...
This is how I knitted mine (I'm NO pattern writer)... for an adult head.
Cast on 9 stitches and knit 3 rows in K1. P1.
Increase 1stitch on the middle stitch in every 4th row until 29 stitches.
Continue rib until desired length ( approx 14in).
Cast off 1 stitch by K3tog in the middle, every 4th row until 9 stitches.
Knit 3 rows in rib... then cast off... leaving last stitch on needle.
Transfer to crochet hook and make chain length for button loop.
Crochet 1 sc in every other stitch around edge.
Make a flower to suit... even add a button for the centre if you like... add a button on end... wear it and be WaRm !

I received from Sharon the "ApRoN" she made in the recent AlpHABeT challenge... and I'm soooo very HaPPy. Here it is under my mechanical helper ... and it's a PerFecT fit.  I LoVe it Sharon! Yippee....

Already added some tools....
