The pattern is suitable for both beginners and intermediate miniature knitters. This is designed to give knitters a chance to try different types of knitting (working in two colours, cable and travelling stitches, textured stitches) on a small scale, and to give the confidence to tackle larger projects, such as an Aran sweater.<\/p>\n

The pattern for the 2009 cot cover is available to buy as an instantly downloadable pdf file<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong> This design was originally published on Buttercup Miniatures Blog as the 2009 Advent Calendar<\/p>\n

This cot cover is made up of 24 small squares which when stitched together will make a cot quilt for a dolls house baby doll. The designs of the squares are kept simple so no matter how rushed you are, you can find \u00bd an hour a day to sit and relax with some miniature knitting. This also gives you the option, should you prefer not to knit certain types of pattern (such as cables\/Aran or multi colour knitting), to duplicate a pattern for a square you like in another colour. This makes the project suitable for both novice and more experienced knitters. Due to the limited number of stitches and nature of the cot cover lace stitches have been excluded from the designs.<\/p>\n

Materials required to knit the complete cot cover:<\/strong> Size 19 (1 mm\/US size 5\/0) knitting needles, 1-ply yarn \u2013 approx 12 metres\/yards of each of six colours (this can also be knitted using scraps of wool you have in your work basket \u2013 you will need 1-3 metres of wool for each square depending on the complexity of the pattern), a cable needle is also required for some squares.<\/p>\n
