Special Knitted Mittens for Kids….All The Way from Sweden!

This free knitting pattern is for a pair of mittens in a child’s size 6″.  There is an interesting story that goes along with the pattern, which is said to have originated in Sweden in 1892!

Apparently, a woman was asked to make a solid pair of mittens for a woodcutter.  She was excited to take on the challenge and in the end, decided to knit a mitten that was two layers thick (they’re knit with two strands of yarn instead of 1).  The man was unhappy however and he actually gave them back to her.  So, she washed and brushed them, and….everyone loved them!

Toddler Sized Sock Pattern

This free pattern is for a pair of oh so sweet socks sized for a toddler.  The bit of lace in the middle adds an extra touch without being too complicated.  Socks can make a great project for a boy or a girl, and they’re quick to knit up, especially in a toddler size.

Felted Snakes – Make Them For Kids, Or, Better Yet, WITH Kids!

These cute little snakes are easy to make and so much fun!  All you need is wool (whatever color(s) you like), pipe cleaners, and some hot soapy water!  All the directions are here in this detailed free online felting pattern.  As you read through them, you’ll see how easy the project is, and how fun it would actually be to do with the kids.  Rolling and molding the wool with your hands is a really enjoyable activity, and playing with colors and decorations for your snakes is a great time too!
