Knitted mice pattern
Posted on 21/10/2010 - 00:29 by milly
Since writing the blog on knitting for charity I was speaking to my Mum and Sister, and they are thinking of teaming up to do some hand puppets for a Christmas shoe box. I've also had an urge to do some hand knitting myself, so was looking around for some patterns to do something for a box. Operation Christmas Child are supplying some patterns themselves but i also found this one from fuzzymitten.com which is for some holiday mice - aren't they well cute, these are actually stuffed but maybe I could leave them open ended and unstuffed and make them as finger puppets.
So I thought I'd share the pattern with you, they could make a Christmas Carol Singers Choir to decorate your home, cute right!
Happy Knitting on or offline xx
Turn a pixel font into kniting

When the Knitted Online shop opens for business the easiest way for you to draw your designs will be using a pencil tool to colour in the stitches. And when it comes to drawing letters you might want something decorative, or something small and compact, a tall font or a wide font. Dafont.com has a huge range of pixel / bitmap fonts that are perfect for knitwear, and you'll see on there a wide range of styles.
The fonts here demonstrate how to achieve different styles with pixel or stitch fonts and how much space they will demand. For example, the largest font here is 9 rows high, and this is going to take up about a quarter of the height of an adults hat, whereas the smallest font is 5 rows tall and will stretch over between 10% - 15% of your hats rows.
A trip to dafont will also help you knit in lower case, keep your eyes peeled for our text tool in the editor which will come soon after the shop opens but in the mean time happy knitting x
