Looking back over my stories and the examples I have posted, I realised there are not many knitting examples. We all need new challenges, so I have been focusing on providing some knitted twiddle items.
Knitting project twiddles twirls (you might know them as curlicues or curly cues or even curly Qs) instead of crocheting was so much fun. My granddaughter called them twirls, so twirls they are.
I used double knit yarn and cast on 20 stitches.
- Row 1: I knitted into the back and front of every stitch. I now had 40 stitches on my needle.
- Row 2: I purled across all 40 stitches.
- Row 3: Cast off all the stitches loosely.
One twirl is made. I made two more, sewed them together and attached them to the cuff with a project twiddles button. I made another 5 and stitched them onto a twiddle cuff where I joined the two ends together.
Whether you knit or crochet, trust me, you can have so much fun making these twirls. Do have a go.
I am grateful to Maniototo Wool for the simple story of how to make project twiddle twirls /curlicues. Find the story at” https://www.maniototowool.co.nz/knitting-curlicues/
Happy creating!
