I make too many of these things. They can become quite addicting because they are easy to make and you can personalize them in many ways.


Directions


Yarn: Anything but FunFur or anything like that and I'll tell you why. These types of yarns are 1. Not that strong 2. They don't let you express yourself as much as you might want because when you try to duplicate stitch/intarsia something it will be smothered by the yarn. You can use them (if you also use a stronger yarn with it) but I wouldn't suggest it.


Needles: Size 4 US double pointed needles(set of 4)


Notions: Yarn needle
Sewing needle and thread
a button


Directions:

Cast on 34 sts(average size cell phone. If your phone is slightly bigger or smaller then most just change the stitch count accordingly) and distribute among the three needles.

Knit for 35 rounds. I tend to knit tighter then usual when I use double-pointed needles so if 35 is too little or too much just knit until your phone is covered when the piece is placed on it.

Cast off 17 sts(if using more or less stitches just cast off half the amount)

Put the remaining stitches on one needle. Knit 16 rows(once again adjust to your cell phone. This is the flap so make sure your phone is covered.) On the 12 row YO in the middle of the row. This will serve as your button hole.Cast off.

Using your yarn needle and yarn, sew up the bottom(the one without the flap).

When you sew on the button make sure that it lines up with you button hole.

To add "toxic-ness" to the cover stitch something on the back. Just make sure that you don't accidentally sew the two pieces together when you stitching your image on. I have done that too many times to count.


Enjoy!!!!

For those of you who don't have enough this page is dedicated to YOU!!! I'm a guy so I don't use bags a lot but I know tons of people who do. Although every now and then I'll get a craving for a new messenger bag! LOL

Messenger Bag

Messenger Bags


Messenger Bags are awesome! Both boys and girls can use them! It's the universal bag!
Yarn:
We'll just stick with the good old Heart brand yarn! Yay Heart Brand!
We will also need some different color yarn for your chart!
Needle:
Size US 7 straight

Notions:
Yarn needle and 1 1/2 yards of fabric(pick your own color and type!)


Directions:

Cast on 50(it's really the amount of space your chart takes up plus 6 sts).

Work in Stockinette stitch for 50 rows(once again you are basing this off off your chart).

Cast off.

Using your yarn needle stitch on your chart!

Measure your knitted piece and multiply that number by two(yes you must use the dreaded MATH) because that is the number of inches your cut fabric peice should be.

Sew the fabric in half(leaving the top open so...you know...you can put stuff in your bag).

Sew the knitted piece to one side of the opening.

Make a strap out of the left over fabric( make it as short or as long as you want) and sew it to the bag.

There yah go, a groovy(ha!) bag!

My sister wanted something she could do to contribute to the site so since she is a beginner I thought I would make some patterns that are easier to do! If you're a little advanced then stitch on something that personalizes it like a small chart!

Yarn:
I know that beginner knitters don't have a lot of yarn so this will be made with the basic Heart brand cotton yarn.

Needle:
 Size US 7 (4.5mm)



Notions:
 Yarn needle(optional)

Directions:

Cast on 8 sts.
Knit using Garter stitch for 30 rows.
Cast off



Advanced pattern:
Cast on 8 sts
Knit using Stockinette stitch for 30 rows.
Use yarn needle to stitch on desired chart with another color.
Cast off
(If you want sew some fabric to the back!!!!)

I hope you enjoy!!!!

]]>Designer Baghttp://toxicknitting.wetpaint.com/page/Designer+Bagiggilioushttp://toxicknitting.wetpaint.com/page/Designer+BagThu, 11 Oct 2007 16:51:18 CDT I was inspired to make this bag because my friend Leanne is a tad obsessed with designers. You can use any designer symbol but for this one I used Chanel(with cross-bones) as seen on the chart page.




Yarn:
1 skein(216 yards) pure merino wool black(A)
1 skein(216 yards) pure merino wool white(B)

Needle:
Size US 5 (4.5mm) straight

Notions:
Yarn needle
Sewing needle/sewing machine
Material 1 yard (anything you want)
 Matching thread

Directions:

 Cast on 52 sts using tubular style with A.
 Work in Stockinette stitch for 52 rows.
 Cast off.
 Using the darning needle and duplicate stitch, stitch on the chart starting 5 rows from the bottom.
 Cut off a piece of fabric slightly bigger then your knitting piece.
 Sew three sides of the two pieces together,wrong sides facing up.
 You can do what ever you please for the handles but what I did was to cut two 16" by 2" pieces of your fabric, then sewing them in half before sewing them to the bag.




I hope you like it! I'll have pictures up ASAP!
