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.
These holders are all made with cotton tana lawn featuring a Liberty print and then lined with a coordinating solid colour fabric (either a cotton or a linen /cotton blend). I’ve interfaced the outer with woven cotton and a layer of fleece to give the holder strength, body and add a little protection for your needles. I’ve then added metal press stud fasteners in toning shades 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 photo – 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.
The prints are:
A – Strawberry thief in blue
B – Strawberry thief in grey
C – Hubert
D – Mia (this is a Liberty design but was not produced by Liberty)
E – Small Susanna
F – Alpine Pasture
G – Hesketh
If your preferred print is sold out, I’ll be glad to make one for you if you message me.
