To Market
My kids absolutely love helping me shop at our charming southern local market. Naturally, they need a little basket to carry all their delightful goodies! Now that they’ve gathered their fresh ingredients, I’m eagerly anticipating some extra delicious dishes coming from their little chefs in the kitchen. Will mommy finally get a break from fixing dinner now that the kids have their own special supplies? This adorable knitting project features a variety of veggies that are worked in the round on double-pointed needles (DPNs) and stuffed as you go, making it an engaging and quick knit. The delightful little basket is knit using circular needles and is starched with a mixture of sugar and water after completion to provide a beautiful shape and structure. These seamless little projects not only allow for creativity and fun but also serve as a fabulous gift for a baby or child in your life who has a passion for cooking and the kitchen.
- Included Pieces: Cucumber, Crookneck Squash, Pepper, Egg, Red Onion, Sweet Potato, Mushroom, Milk Bottle & Basket
- Gauge: 22 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in stockinette. While gauge is not critical for these fun projects, it’s recommended to use a needle size that is 2 sizes smaller than recommended for your yarn. This will create a nice thick fabric specifically suited for stuffing and durability.
A suggested yarn is listed below, but feel free to explore different textures and colors to personalize this delightful set. Enjoy exploring the art of knitting while creating cherished keepsakes that can instill a love for cooking in the little ones. These patterns are perfect for adding interactive playtime to your child’s routine, blending creativity with essential life skills.
