Ewok Sweaters

Ewok sweaters:

Supplies:

US 2 needles

Sock yarn
4 stitch markers

Closures (snaps, Velcro, etc.)

Darning needle

Ewoks

Notes:

In a mix bag of Star Wars Ewoks that was purchased from a flea market I noticed there were 3 varieties.  The sweaters are generally the same for all three, but changes may be needed depending on the neck, body or arm length. Patterns have not been thoroughly tested. Ewok 2 I will be making more than once so I will update if I find anything major.

Deer Hat for Blythe

I posted my first pattern for sale on Ravelry!

Perfect quick project for fun or costume purposes for your Blythe doll! This little hat was created thanks to tinyowlknits’s deer with little antlers hat available on her blog: http://owlinthedark.blogspot.com/2010/08/deer-with-little-antlers-hat.html. 

The pattern is written for magic loop method, but can easily be converted for DPNs. The hat, ears and antlers are all knitted seperately.

Great project for using up scrap yarn. Felting is optional for the antlers.

I made the little sweater and skirt too.
