Handspun Wrist Wallet

Handspun Wrist Wallet

this is a super quick project to knit and good for teaching beginners some knitting techniques.

adding the zipper might take you the longest out of the whole project!!

Materials:

worsted weight yarn handspun/dyed looks best but you can use store bought too

and a 4.00mm 32"circ and the same size dpn's

I used a old zipper from some jeans

needle and thread

ok lets start:
cast on 5 sts

knit each row for 8 inches....if you want your wallet just a tad bigger go for 9 inches

join and knit both ends tog to make a tube casting off as you go, so you will have 1 st left

this is where the circ comes in for the magic loop

on the same side as your last st, pick up and knit one st at each garter st bump.

the number of sts arn't critical after all it's just a wallet

*knit 2 sts, knit in the front and back of next st* around

you might not have enough sts to knit this evenly around the wallet... thats ok, just go with it!

then knit even for 1 inch, for me that was 6 rows

purl 1 row

knit 3 rows

purl 1 row

knit 1 row

*knit 2 sts, knit2tog* around (fudge it if you have to) ;)

*knit 1 st, knit2tog* around

knit2tog around

you should have 6, 7, 8?? sts left on each needle

kitchener these tog.

tuck in ends

with the dpns cast on 3 sts and make a I-cord.

make this long enough that when the ends are together you can put your hand through the loop.

sew this onto the end of the wallet where you cast off.

now sew your zipper , you might have to cut the zipper a bit shorter, I made the opening about 4.5 inches.

I can fit my credit cards, change, cell phone and my van keys inside....

(yep in that little thing!!)

I use mine all the time and it's so great when you don't want to carry a purse around!!

Ginormous Man Mitts

I'm sharing this pattern and hoping you have the knowledge that you know how to knit with the magic loop method or DPN's, as it doesn't explain everything.

The mitt will fit a big mans hand.

One End Wristlette Bag

I used crochet cotton for this version.





I hate tucking in ends at the end of a project, this is made so that you only have 1 end to tuck in at the end!!
Materials:
crochet cotton ( the dishcloth stuff, of course if you use this you won't be able to felt it) or 4 ply wool aprox 275 yrdssmall amount of a second color4.5 mm hookyarn needle
** ch1 at the beginning of each row, this ch1 will NOT be counted as a stitch, your first sc of each row will be in the same stitch, you will also slst to join into the first sc of each row** unless otherwised stated
Do you have your stuff ready?? Ok, lets get hookin'!!
R1 - ch2,6 sc in the first ch (6)R2 - 2 sc in each sc (12)R3 - * 1sc, 2 sc in next* around (18)R4 - * 2sc, 2 sc in next* around (24)R5 - * 3sc, 2 sc in next* around (30)R6 - * 4sc, 2 sc in next* around (36)R7 - * 5sc, 2 sc in next* around (42)R8 - * 6sc, 2 sc in next* around (48)R9 - * 7sc, 2 sc in next* around (54)R10 - * 8sc, 2 sc in next* around (60)R11 - * 9sc, 2 sc in next* around (66)R12 - * 10sc, 2 sc in next* around (72)for the sides of the bag single crochet in the round (do not join the rows) for 6 inchesdo not fasten off.
with your stitch markers mark every 18 stitches, name these A,B,C and D
making the handles:
sc up to the first marker A , ch1 turn (18)sc dec in the first and last 2 sts, with one sc in each st between. (16)repeat this row 3 more times. (14)(12)(10)sc in each st arcoss ch1 turn (10)repeat this for 6 inchesincrease ( 2 sc ) in the first and last sts in the next 4 rows, until you reach 18 stitches again, fold the handle in half and make sure it's not twisted, start to slst the handle to the bag at stitch marker B, ( you may have to add a extra row of sc to start in the correct place).. slst across to stitch marker C, sc in the next st and in each stitch across to stitch marker D, and continue the second handle in the same way, making the second handle 12 - 14 inches long, slst this handle to the bag in the same way, starting at stitch marker D and slst to stitch marker A.
Tuck in the end.

this version I used 100% wool and felted the bag when I was done.

Tuck in all ends and enjoy your cap.
