A unisex, top-down, pullover sweater and matching cap for kids, sizes 2-10. The sweater features an enlarged neck that makes it easy to get on and off. The yoke is raglan style, sleeves can be shaped or knit straight until the cuff decreases. The ribbing ends in a rolled bind-off. The seasonal two-color design happens around the tummy, “Charlie Brown style,” and like the sleeves, the ribbed bottom of the sweater ends in a rolled bind-off.

This Blankie/afghan is a spin-off of the Rambling Rows Afghan. The advantage it has over the original is that a knitter can control the sizing so easily. Handpainted or variegated yarn works well in this design, as well as using just one color. It is as addictive as the Rambling Rows Afghan. You may knit the blankie from fingering, sport or worsted weight yarn. By knitting the first square you can easily determine just how many squares you’ll need to knit to attain a desired size. You can use a circular, straight, or even double point needles in suggested size for the yarn you choose.” Pattern is available in print or on Ravelry. -
Cottage Creations’ Wonderful Wallaby, its most popular pattern, was first published in 1984, almost thirty-nine years ago. Over the years hundreds of knitters reported they’ve knit not just one Wallaby, but many. They’ve tweaked the pattern, and using their creativity have often shared photos on Ravelry or Pinterest. Like other knitters, I’ve knit many Wallabies over the years for friends and family. In so doing I’ve made innovations and incorporated shared techniques. I’ve realized the necessity for more diagrams. Because of the additions, it became necessary to divide this “new generation” into two separate booklets—one for kids (sizes 2-12), the other for grown-ups (5 sizes). The pattern is available in print or on Ravelry. Note: Please be advised…there is nothing wrong with the original pattern (W03) I’ve simply updated it.
