Prayer Chest

                                         (3 Secrets of the Prayer Chest)
                                                  Copyright © 2011

1. Bring your Prayers to the Prayer Chest, and all that you ask shall be
answered one by one.

2. Prayer is answered when you're "Listening to God" not when your
busy talking

3. Welcome what happens to you, because everything that comes is
part and parcel of the Prayers answers.. Often Prayer answers come
through you before they come to you

Loss fertilizes the ground for gain. Loss of a job, person, personal
property, something/someone special in your life etc. "Welcome Everything:

Basic Childs Knitted Hat

                                               children's size 3-10 yrs
NOTE:
I always sl st my first st of every row, so if I'm working a knit row, I slip
st the first st knit wise, If I'm purling a row , my first st is slipped purl wise

I use Red Heart 4 oz 4 ply yarn          -          10 Needles

CO 60 sts,

Rows 1-6: k2, p2 across (60 sts)

Row 7: knit across (60 sts)

Row 8: Purl across (60 sts)

Rows 9-36: Repeat rows 7 & 8  (60 sts)

Row 37: k2 together all the way across (30 sts)

Row 38: purl across (30 sts)

Row 39: K2 together all the way across (15 sts)

Row 40: Purl across , DO NOT FINISH OFF, (15 sts)
cut a 16" tail  of yarn thread through a needle, carefully go through loops of the 15 sts on your knitting needles, pull tight closing the top of hat, now line up your side seems, and whip st all the way down, fasten off & tuck in tail

NOTE:
I learned this {Type of Decreese} from someone else years ago and have loved it and used it ever sence, quick and easy decreese as above in Row 37 & 39.

NOTE:
I don't use a pattern much any more. I cast on 60, 70 or 80 stitches in worsted weight yarn and make the pattern up as I go along. I vary them by colors, stripes,  lace work (simple lace like YO K2TOG across, then a row of plain, then K2TOG YO across, varying the hole placement), Fun tops, ETC. Let  your imagine flow and enjoy making hats for children

                                                   {Brim Rolled Up}

For Ron:
I  CO 80 sts and make this same hat on a size 10 1/2 needles for my husband, who needs a nice hat but can't stand anything tight or restricking on his head.We turn the Brim up and it fits wonderfuly for him

                                  Happy Knitting One & All

Pantz's Sweater

Pantz is Lucy's daughter, Lucy is a black lab, and Pantz is a yellow lab.
both are horse's compared to our toy poodle. Pantz needs a sweater that
can stay on her all the time, oh my, here goes,...

I sat and measured around Pantz neck, from neck to shoulders, down her
back to her rump, around her rib cage and then around her tummy.
Pantz: neck 22"; from neck down 20"; shoulder 6 1/2 "; 29" around.
Lucy: Neck 19 1/2",  from neck down her back to hind quarrters, 22";
shoulder 5 1/2"; around 29";

So I got started on Pantz's Red sweater (Photo above), I made her neck
piece, then did the shoulder piece, then chained attached and am now
working this hugh round body sweater. I've gone through most of a
skein of yarn and it's HUGH to say the least.

Finished the sweater and Rhonda brought Pantz & Lucy over to try on the
sweater. It was hugh on Pantz. Yarn stretches Jean, so we did a quick
re-count for the pattern and will make a new sweater tonight and get it to her Wednesday.

Here is the Country Rose Pink Sweater with adjustments made. It's a little snug but hopefully it will stretch. Other wise if I use yarn like the red was these instructions will work perfectly, but if I use a smaller type of yarn, I'll add another 2 sts for the body around her tummy, and might make a ruffle at the very end to accent the feminine side of Pantz..
