centipedes.


yay it worked! here is my centipede that i made my sister.


and here is my sister with her centipede. pattern and yarn type i'll add in later, i'm just excited the pictures work finally.

k i got the pattern for the centipede in the book one skein wonders by patricia colloton-walsh. he was really easy.

materials:
-size 8 straight needles.
-the book says tahki trio color 005 but i used yarn i had leftover from my mittens.

pattern:
-cast on 56 stitches.
-rows 1, 3, 5: knit.
-rows 2, 4, 6: purl.
-row 7: k4, make 50 loops*, k2.
-rows 8-15: knit.
-row 16: repeat row 7.
-rows 17, 19, 21: knit.
-rows 18, 20, 22: purl.
-bind off.

finishing:
fold centipede in half lengthwise (like a hot dog!) with right side facing,and sew the seam starting at the "head" and as you go, stuff with polyfil. embroider the eyes with some leftover black yarn. ta da!
