I used the pattern from Knitting On The Net, but chose to gently felt mine as I used Twilleys Freedom Spirit Wool in the Fire colourway.

It measures 24cm at the widest points, 14cm across the bottom and 18cm top to bottom excluding the strap.

I found the pattern for this in a 1970′s Patons booklet. It measures approximately 24cm by 32cm, excluding handles, which I think are rather cute! It is lined in a blue fabric with white dots.

Just a little Scarflette to keep Chris’s neck warm in Winter…yes I know it’s Summer…but you never know with British weather!! I used Sirdar Bigga in Hawaii colourway. The beauty of this Scarflette is the clever design, there is a hole on one side you put the other side through, so it stays put and keeps out the cold even better!

And no, it is not Chris modelling it!!

This was knitted with two strands of Wendy Mohair, one size fits all.

The ‘model’ is Ezra, we purchased him for £1 for Halloween 2003 and he’s been part of the family ever since, usually sitting near the top of the stairs on his throne!

Knitted in Regia yarn, this is a present for Chris’s Dad, a cosy for his walking stick! And that walking stick is mine, I bought it purely to demonstrate the cosy!
