Keyplate # 3 using waste yarn cast on 68 stitches. Knit 12 rows in main colour. Knit 2 rows in contrasting colour 1 Knit 15 rows in contrasting colour 2 - or fairisle pattern of your choice. knit 12 rows main colour. Knit 6 rows waste yarn. Join sides on machine. Turn right side out and weave edges together. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heart shaped headbad Materials - Weight yarn or your choice fine makes it narrow, heavier makes it wider. Cast on by hand 12 stitches.*Knit 12 rows Pick up the first stitch on needle one and the last stitch on needle 12 and rehang on centre 2 needles.* Place the needles in forward working postion so it eases the strain and knit across slowly. Change colours every 12 rows if a different coloured band is desired. Use claw weights rather than a hem . Knit to desired length. Note:- I have also seen this done and made into a doormat, it was gorgeous, it would also make a lovely trim over a a patchwork sweater or afghan, centering the hear band over the joined edges, have also seen this as well as a cable design on the diagonal on sweaters and garments. -------------------------------------------------- Have fun Bonding on the Net, Linda patrick.boudreau@ns.sympatico.ca North Kentville Knits " Where knitting is still considered an art."
