Autumn Coats

hello everyone! The last time i wrote on here was around the end of summer. My weekends have been very busy, and the weekdays have been filled with school days. Since I'm taking my GCSE's, every spare minute i have is actually allocated to homework or revision. Its hard work! alas, I have pulled myself together. Its the 20th of November while I'm writing this, and its getting scarily (yet excitedly) close to December 1st.

I have been feeling very crafty of late- maybe its because the nights are drawing in - but i feel compelled to the fire and fairy lights. I have already knitted two hats for myself (one is a Father Christmas hat, of course) and both have pom poms!

I thought, hold on, these would be super cute in miniature! I have been experimenting so I have only made 1, but I have made a coat as well.

May Mulberry and her daughter, Charlotte Mulberry, are modelling today, as the infamous Cherry Periwinkle and her mother, Kate Periwinkle, are having a week of baking delicious mince pies, however, this clothing was always made in the mind of the Mulberry's.

The hat is a knitted green. If you want the knitting measurements, you need around 12 stitches and then knit 6 rows. Cast off and sew appropriately. Its as simple as that. You knit a rectangle and then stitch it up at the top and sides to make a hat. To make the bobble, tie some wool into a few knots, and cut it in a few places with the scissors to make it frizzy. Sew on top to hide any unwanted visible stitches.

To make the scarf, just cast on around 20 stitches, and knit 1 row. cast off (this adds another row) and thread some wool through and tie it together. Voila.

I think this combo is very nice and is very simple. It will definitely keep May nice and warm during the winter months to come!!!!

Charlotte Mulberry is modelling a burgundy knitted coat with blue and yellow flecks. I think this is also a beautiful coat, and is very warm. To make , cast on 20 stitches and knit 8 rows. simple. For the arm holes, just push them between stitches.

I really like all the things i have made, and i have some more stuff in the works! Lots of love, Emily xx
