Charity Knitting

This afghan is basically the same as the last one except there are stadium stripes placed in the rows.

This one was knit for a larger person and required more yarn, not sure how much as it has been a while ago that these were knit. I know that the needles were 100 cross and that the yarns were light grey ragg and a deep burgundy. This was also crochet edged in grey.

Charity Knitting

This is a very simple stadium style child's blanket.

ISM machine knit keyplate 3.5 or 5.

Materials - 3 - 100 gram balls of main colour.

3 - 100 gram balls of contrasting colour.

Crochet hook sized 4.50 for crochet edging as above.

Cast on 100 stitches using waste yarn. Knit 6 rows.

Add main colour and knit for ten rows.

Change to contrasting colour and knit for ten rows.

Continue until afghan is the length that you prefer on it this case 150 rows.

Edge with single crochet. Work 3 single crochets in each corner and then work half double crochet around to finish.

Charity Knitting

Here are several charity blankets that I have knit on the ISM knitting machine, but they can also be done by hand, and have edged with crochet.

ISM Knitting machine on Keyplate 3.5 or 4. Hand knitting needles would be metric 5.5 or us 6.

Materials - 3 - 100 gram balls solid colour ( navy )

3 - 100 gram balls verigated colour ( blues )

Crochet hook sized "F" or 4.5 or knit in garter stitch.

Knit four panels, joining as you go or they can be hand joined later by slip stitch or crochet.

Using waste yarn cast on 45 stitches..

Knit 6 rows.

Change to navy and knit 50 rows.

Change to verigated and knit 50 rows.

Continue in the above manner until you have a total of 6 squares. Cast off loosely.

Make a second strip identical to the first.

Make two more strips but start with the verigated navy and then change to navy.

You will have knit a total of six panels. Either join as you go on the machine and or slip stitch

the seams together, matching the squares.

Edge around with a single crochet and work 3 single crochets in each corner. Repeat round with a double crochet, and finish with one more row of single crochet. This keeps all of the sides flat.

Block and allow to set.

Enjoy............ This is a great scrap yarn project.........as you can change each time you run out of yarn and make a very colourful lap afghan or childs blanket.

Machine knit scarf doubled. It was hand joined at the side seams and fringe added. Some had matching headbands as well. These were very popular gifts for adults.

An original cowl collar knit on the ISM knitting machine and laddered down every two stitches. It was then gathered at each end, decreased down and either a bow or an i-cord added.










This shows the reverse side of the above selection. I did a series of about eight of these as gifts for Christmas. It can be worn as is, or reversed.







Same ppater by a bit fancier. Edges are joined before binding off, and a ribbon is attached to give it glamour as an accent scarf.
