Here's the next Iz in progress. As you see the shape is a simple rectangle. There's a bit of shaping for the hat, but the structure of the body is done after stitching.
And here's his predecessor, next to Iz #8

That will be another cute one! How many will you make to send them?
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I get a box or something, I'll send off however many I have before embarking on another group.
DeleteIt's like potato chips!
So glad you showed this picture, Liz! I imagined that these were knit in the round. Your stitches are so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI showed it to explain why I say it's simple knitting. A beginner could enjoy making this design.
DeleteI think there's a pattern somewhere for knitting them in the round to avoid having to seam but I don't remember where I saw it. Either way, they will be loved.
ReplyDeleteThey're too small to knit comfortably in the round, only 32 stitches max. I've tried it but it's better for folks with big mitts like me to knit flat and stitch a seam.
