.......... or simple crochet chain.
Love your patterns have done a number for my grandchildren and now knitting for the warm baby project,
ReplyDeletecan someone please decifer the letters on these patterns kfb is this knit from front to back on the stitch? YON is this yarn over? I knit but not as much as I crochet. Please help. These are so cute
ReplyDeleteCarole, Yes kfb is increasing in the same stitch. You tube is bound to be able to provide a tutorial. YON is wrapping yarn around needle. It is the eyelet row. It is making 'gaps' to thread through ribbon or crochet chain but maintaining the number of stitches. Hope this helps. Sue
DeleteThese are so sweet! would love to knit them as a gift for a Baby Anabel Doll... would anybody know what size to knit?
ReplyDeleteMarianna you've got me back into knitting since lockdown. I am currently making small preemie knits for my Hospital - where I work. Your patterns are so easy to follow and the results are stunning. Please keep up the great work.
ReplyDeletelove the ease of your pattern.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quick little pattern
ReplyDeleteSuch an easy pattern to follow! Using up some scraps of yarn to make baby doll booties for my granddaughter and preemie twins our neighbors have that are six weeks old now! They love them!
