Josiah's Blankie

                                           "JMSQ "Copyright © 2011

                           Josiah is Hebrew - meaning - "The Lord saves"

This blankie is perfect for covering your baby in their car seat, or over your baby in their bassinett. These are also perfect for giving to the elderly to cover their legs when sitting in chairs just relaxing.
I like to lay them over my chest while reading, I feel both the warmth as well as the many prayers being said while knitting away...JMSQ

Curly Q's

                                            "JMSQ "Copyright © 2011
                                       {In Honor our daughter Rhonda}

Now this is another OLD pattern of our's, Our Daughter is now 39 and she wore these in her hair when she was 6-10 yrs old. Only difference was she liked the curl's longer and she like to wear them loose hanging freely instead of tied into a bow at the top of her little pigtails. She had them in every color to match her clothing... I'll have Ron scan a photo of her and add it to this page..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE:
I slip one end of Curly Q  into an elastic band, then wrap the band around the hair as usual, then tie the Curly Q into a bow, this way if it comes un-tied it won't fall off and get lost


H hook
2 hair electic bands (for pig tails or pony tails)

ch 101, count 21 stitches from  HOOK, PLACE MARKER, now count 20 sts
from other end and place another marker

Work: 1 dc in 2nd st from hook, 4 more dc in same st, *(5 dc in each
of the next 19 sts), (to first marker), sl st in each st to next marker,
5 dc in each of next 20 sts, finish off.

SPECIAL STITCHES:
X St: skip one st, dc in nest st, 1 dc in st just skipped..

There are 2 ways you can create this X st

#1: skip one st, dc in next st, 1 dc over front of st just made into front of skipped st, thru forming a X st

#2: skip next st, 1 dc in next st, 1 dc from back and into the front of skipped st, thus forming an X st

I use #2 for all my patterns. It makes a nicer & more pronounced X

SPECIAL STITCHES:
V St: = (dc, ch 1, dc) in same st

X Stitch:
You can work the X st 2 ways, you decide which you perfer:
#1.)
skip 1 st, dc in next st, 1 dc across  "FRONT" in st just skipped

#2.)
sk 1 st, 1 dc in next st, *{1 dc in previous st as follows - go around "BACK" of st just made & into the front of prev.st working 1 dc} X st just made.

NOTE:
For this pattern, I used #2 for this pattern because these X's are more sharp and pronounced in pattern.
Sc Dec: Insert hook in next st, draw up a lp, (two lps on hk), insert hook in next st, draw up a lp (3 lps on hook), YO and draw through all 3 lps.
