The leaf lace pattern from Kathleen
Kinder's book "The Technique of Lace" can be used to make all
kinds of things, like this candleholder or the poinsettia below. |
 |
Knit this very easy braided Christmas wreath with 4-ply
yarn. Knitted with keyplate 3, it is about 13" in diameter. The candy
cane is a simple i-cord with just 4 stitches. |
 |
A lace bow that goes well with the braided wreath. Also
knitted with 4-ply yarn in an allover easy lace pattern. |
 |
How about a gingerbread man, 3 1/2" tall, for a
wreath decoration? He is double-sided but knitted in one piece, then the
edges overcast. No need to sew in the ends, they can be stuffed inside! |
 |
The poinsettia is knitted from a simple leaf lace pattern.
I should have added more bobbles but got in a hurry. With the intarsia
keyplate or the regular keyplate in the carriage minus the wire guide,
you can knit all 5 petals at the same time. Again, knitted with 4-ply
yarn, 5" diam. |
 |
This star is knitted with three strands of metallic crochet
cotton and the holding position. It's about 6 inches in diameter. Might
also make a nice Christmas coaster? |
