STITCH EXPLANATION:
NOTES:
1. Doll is knit flat and then seamed.
2. "Work even" means that you continue to work without doing any increasing or decreasing.
3. When you see "- 12 sts" in the instructions, this tells you how many sts you should have at the end of
that specific row.
4. Lola is knit with smaller needle to create a dense knit fabric, suitable for stuffing.
kfb (knit into front and then back)
An increase worked as follows:
1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2
loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.

Easy lapghan...Hip to be Squared

Making this squared lapghan will make you totally hip!


SIZE: One Size
Each square approximately 10 inches x 13" [approximately 25 x 33 cm]
Finished lapghan approximately 44 inches x 50 inches

MATERIALS
• 640-153 Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick: Black4 Skeins (A)
• 640-138 Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick: Cranberry2 Skeins (B)
• 430-210 Jiffy Thick & Quick: Ozarks 3 Skeins (C)

GAUGE:
8 stitches + 10 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Garter stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

NOTES:
1. The Jiffy Thick and Quick in our example happened to produce a pattern when knitted at the gauge and in the size square shown. Not all skeins will yield an identical result.

LAPGHAN
SIMPLE SQUARE
make 2 in (C) and 1 in (B) - 3 total
Cast on 20 stitches. Work in garter stitch for 32 rows. Bind off loosely. Weave in ends.

SQUARE WITH BORDER
Make 3 in (C) and 3 in (B) - 3 total
Cast on 20 stitches. Work in garter stitch for 32 rows.
Change to (A). Work in garter stitch for 6 rows. Bind off loosely. Weave in ends.

FINISHING
Assemble squares into strips as shown:
Strip B Make 2 Strip A Make 1

Pick up 54 stitches on one lengthwise edge of strip A. Knit 6 rows, bind off.
Pick up 54 stitches on the other side of the same strip. Knit 12 rows, bind off.
Repeat for second strip A.
You will now have strips that look like this:


Lay the strips out as shown and sew together. Note that one of the black edges is wider than the other -- this goes
on the outside. You may find that the sizes of the squares vary somewhat, particularly if they were made by
beginning knitters. The purpose of the black strips is to allow some ease in joining the squares if they are a little
different in sizes.

Pick up all stitches across the end of the throw (78 stitches). Knit 12 rows, bind off, weaving in ends. Repeat for
other end. Finished throw:

...More Quick Gifts...Pretty Potholders

Are you a "qwik-knitter" LOL...whip up a couple of these potholders and gift them with a great bottle of Olive Oil or spices.

About 6 x 6 in. (15 x 15 cm)

MATERIALS
• 760-136 Lion Brand Lion Cotton Yarn: Clove 1 Ball (A)
• 760-159 Lion Brand Lion Cotton Yarn: Mustard 1 Ball (B)
• 760-146 Lion Brand Lion Cotton Yarn: Fuchsia 1 Ball (C)
• Knitting Needles - Size 7 [4.5 mm]
• Double-Pointed Needles - Size 7
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles

GAUGE:
17 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every st of every row).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
kfb (knit into front and back)
An increase worked as follows:
1.Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2.Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3.Drop the st from your left hand needle – you will have increased 1 st.

FRONT
Note: Front and Back of Potholder are worked in random color stripes. Cast on and work Increase Section with A,
then change color as desired to work Decrease Section.
With A and straight needles, cast on 3 sts.

Increase Section
Increase Row: K to last 2 sts, kfb in next st, k last st – 4 sts at the end of this row.
Rep Increase Row until you have 35 sts on your needle.

Decrease Section
Decrease Row: K to last 3 sts, k2tog, k last st – 34 sts at the end of this row.
Rep Decrease Row until you have 3 sts on your needle.
Bind off.

Attached I cord border
Notes:
1.I-cord is attached to Potholder at the same time the cord is knit.
2.I-cord is worked on 2 double-pointed needles (dpns).
Work attached I-cord Border as follows:
With B, cast 3 sts onto one double-pointed needle. Beg at one corner of Potholder, *insert needle through both
layers of Potholders, pick up one st and place on dpn – 4 sts on dpn. Slide sts to other end of needle and k2, k2tog.
Rep from * to next corner.
Hanging Loop: Work I-cord without picking up sts from Potholders as follows:
**Do not turn work. Slide sts to other end of needle and k across. Rep from ** for 11 more rows, then pick up next
st in corner (to the left of the corner), to join hanging loop to Potholder.
Work attached I-cord border around rem des of Potholder, picking up sts evenly spaced around and 3 sts in each of
the remaining corners. Do not bind off.
Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. Draw tail through rem 3 sts, then use tail to sew end of cord to beg of cord.
