Miniature Knitting 2 - bedding and miscellaneous |
 |
A simple chequerboard lace pattern gives a nice old-fashioned textured look to an old style bed. This was knitted with YLI Jeans Stitch thread. The bed is 5 by 6 inches, and the knitting works out approximately 17 rows to the inch. Knitted on size 20 needles. |
This bedcover
involved the most work. It was worked with two threads, both 180
thickness which is rather like basting/tacking thread. A beautiful
medly of heather colours in one, and plain cream in the other thread.
The bed is 3 by 6 inches and it worked out at about 24 rows to the
inch. Knitted on size 20 needles. |

Some projects do actually get finished! Click on the picture to see the sides. |
This is child
size bed, being about 3 inches wide, 4 1/2 inches long. The bedding
is my finest yet, with 32 rows to the inch. It is temporarily pinned
to the sides until I can work out a way of anchoring it down firmly,
perhaps putting a plain valance around the sides. The same stitch
is used as for the above bedcover. Size 20 needles. |
It is interesting
to see how the same rainbow thread
that was used in the smallest sweater on the previous page looks
against the black background of this picnic blanket/ small rug.
Size 20 needles. |

| This new quilt uses mitred squares. You can see a full sized 'blankie' here with instructions but of course I have to make a miniature one :-) |
