🧶Dear #showmeyourknits This week's theme is GIFTS! Almost everything I knit is a gift so I have alot to choose from to share this week! I'll start with this scarf I knit my mom for her birthday using the softest alpaca yarn. Pattern is Saroyan by L Abinante. #knitsky #knitting #knitter #justknitting
Photo from a top-down or flat-lay perspective of a red knit scarf laid on a dark brown patterned background. The scarf has a cabled leaf design along the bottom edge. On the left side is a vase of tulips.

🧶 Dear #showmeyourknits I hear that this week's theme is GREY! Here's a sweet little Sock Monkey yarn bomb I did a few years ago! He was also the perfect size to use as a cup cozy too!

These 3 bunnies were all made using the same pattern, but as you can see, their size varies. See ALT TEXT on image for more info.
These 3 bunnies were all made using the same pattern, but as you can see, their size varies. Left to Right: 4" bunny knit in fingering/sock weight yarn on 2mm/US0 needles; 6" bunny knit in worsted weight yarn on 3.5mm/US4 needles; and 7.75" bunny knit in Aran weight yarn on 4.5mm/US7 needles. This pattern was designed for hand knitting in the round, in any manner you like (magic loop, circulars, double points). Limbs and ears are knit first and then worked directly into the body as you go so that no sewing is required at the end, except to close the bottom of the body. Even the tail is knit right onto the body as a bobble! Sweet choice for yourself or a gift, this pattern knits up quickly in a few hours. Pattern has been tech-edited and test knit. Available on both Ravelry and Payhip. See link original post.

I just adore the cuff on these. I'm not sure if its the cuff from the pattern or I used the cuff from another pattern! Its been awhile since I knit these ones. But isn't it pretty?
