Knitting with Ajeng: My Pattern released in 2016

Hi happy knitters,

I never realized that I'm not posting in this blog too long to my liking. I even not updating every time I upload new pattern on my Ravelry! #shock

So, I think it's fair if I wrap all my pattern releases at 2016 here in this one post. I surprised that I quite productive in 2016. I hope I can be more productive in this year too. #aameen

I think I should regularly posting in the blog at least once a month. I already making plan (since last year actually) for sharing some of my patterns for free, making review of knitting books, beside posting about my pattern releases. I also planning for release at least one pattern every month. Wish me can fulfill these plan smoothly without slacking. #mybadhabit

In the end of 2016, I also gather my gut and open a pattern shop at etsy too and now waiting for the first sale #fingercrossing.

And now I getting interested in Patreon. This platform really new to me. Do you know how to use it (or already have experiences) as creator?

Happy new year everyone! Sending every good hope for you all. :D

Rajut Free Knitting Pattern: Easy Nose Warmer

I made these cute things for someone who want to give these to his friend who will going to cold climate country.

But I found that this little thing is very fun to make and addictive. Also can be used even if you live in warm climate country like mine. For example, when you ride a motorcycle. It can block the cold night wind that make your nose itchy and runny. Haha.

So, here is the free knitting pattern I used to knit these cute nose warmers.

*I used flannel fabric to make the ears and trunk 

Free Knitting Pattern= Mustachio Nosewarmer by Stefanie Goodwin-Ritter

Yarn I used= SA Poyeng (DK weight)

Knitting needle used= 2.75mm (US 2) Double Pointed Needles.

Right, I almost forgot that I make a little tweak at the straps. :p

For the strap, I used 4 mm crochet hook and make 52 chains. Repeat once more so you have two straps. Then you know the next, insert those into every ends of your nose warmer cap and secure them.

Happy Knitting!!
