Year: 2022

Several folks have received an email supposedly from Sandra Ailio’s husband, Jukka, concerning Amazon. He is aware of the situation-please disregard if you are sent any such emails.

I wanted to share these 2-color knit designs I occasionally add to the baby hats. Note that the original “heart” design is upside down as it came from a pattern used for socks. When using for a baby hat, turn it so you can read the handwritten details.

I have have a design for knitting “hugs and kisses” into a hat which I will upload separately (once I locate and translate from German to English).

Hi All,

While at the quilt shop yesterday, I ran into Jan and we chatted about the baby hats I knit and patterns used. The attached pattern is a free internet pattern I found a while ago and would like to share.

I do, however, don’t follow the pattern when casting on my stitches and marking the beginning/end of the row. My mother taught me the following:

1. Per pattern cast on 72 stitches
2. Divide those stitches onto 4 needles: 20/20/20/12 (the last needle with the least stitches always signals the end of the row (easy for color changes as well)
3. This also helps for counting the headband pattern of 2 knit, 2 pearl (start a needle with knit and end with pearl) – not need to constantly check your stitches
4. I like to knit little patterns using different color yarn into the hats. Those patterns need to be divisible by 4 or 8, or 16 (since there is a total of 72 stitches) to finish a round nicely (I will bring some pattern to the next meeting)

Enjoy and happy knitting 🙂
