DPN holder, cosy or case for 8 or 6 inch dpns featuring bunnies, otters, hares & flowers, with metal press studs and suitable for circulars.

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 or a circular needle. 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.

These holders have been made with a variety of fabrics featuring bunnies, hares, otters and flowers. I’ve interfaced the cotton outer with woven cotton and a layer of squishy fleece, then lined the cosy with a medium weight plain cotton in a toning colour. I’ve then added metal press stud fasteners in a toning shade to close the cosy.

I offer the cosy in two sizes for 8″ or 6″ needles and you can also 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 4 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. This option doesn’t appear on the drop down – just tell me in the note field when ordering if you’d like the extra snap adding to your 8″ cosy.

Please note that the photographs here are of sample cosies and your cosy may look slightly different, according to how the fabric is cut. Also, if the print is of an animal(s), that animal will feature on at least one side of your cosy.
