    The puppy would make a cute pillow for a kid's room. Both are cute.

Just One Ball Shawl

Hello everyone, after I finished my Dragon Tail shawl, one Bernat Pop Ball was left from the parcel I received. Loving the speedy work and what came out of it, I've decided to start another project right away. 

I had this idea in my mind for a while, why not take the two ends of the Bernat Pop Ball yarn, work them together in alternate stripes, and see how it will look. You can take any large (5 oz/ 140 g and more) multi-colored ball of yarn, knit it this way, and you'll easily get many unique shawls. Enjoy this very simple shawl. 

Level: Easy




Materials:
Bernat pop; 5 oz/ 140 g, 280 yds/ 256m approx. Moonshadow 84008, 1 ball. Size U.S. 10 (6 mm) knitting needles. Tapestry needle.

Magic Granny Square

From time to time, I sit down between large projects, experimenting with new small crochet pieces, such as coasters and granny squares. Sometimes nothing interesting comes out, but I think, this time, it really turned out well. A magic granny square that turns from a circle shape to almost a square, without the usual angles made of a number of chain stitches.

Level: Super easy
