DPN holder, cosy or case for 6 or 8 inch dpns made with woodland themed print featuring bunnies, with metal press studs

Description

If you do a lot of sock knitting, you’re probably very familiar with the idea of the dpn cosy, but many knitters (including me until recently!) don’t know about these fabulous little holders for work in progress on double points. I used to squish up my knitting on the needles and then drop it into a project bag where I could accidentally knock some of the stitches off the needles or, get everything tangled up in yarn or other things I had in the bag – very irritating. With these holders, your needles and stitches are safely tucked away until you open the holder to take them out and restart your knitting – the 4th photo shows you how this works.

This holder is made with a print called ‘Enchanted Forest’, which features bunnies, hedgehogs, birds, squirrels and various flora! Each case will be slightly different depending on how the fabric is cut, but a bunny will always feature on at least one side of the case. I interface the cotton outer with woven cotton and soft fleece, then line the cosy with a plain cotton in a toning colour. I then add metal press stud fasteners in a gold shade to close the cosy.

I offer the cosy in two sizes for 8″ or 6″ needles and another option to add a 3rd snap to the 8″ size so that it can be used with circular needles, if magic loop is your thing. You can see how this works in the last 3 photos – essentially, you put your tips together into the left of the cosy, the cable sits to the right, above the right hand snap, and you push another loop of the cable around the extra snap to secure it. If you’d like the extra snap, just let me know in the comments box when ordering.
