FREE PATTERNS Click the picture to see the patterns. Crochet Hanger Covers Round Knitted Rug Hanger covers are pretty and also very practical. They keep clothes from slipping off the hangers. Place spaghetti straps on your clothes between the popcorn stitches at each end of these covers to keep them in place on the hanger. Make this rug as large as you wish by adding more row. Knit strips in the same colour or different colours and sew together around the centre. ARTICLES   Lace Knitting Stitches Six different lace stitches to use in any of your knitting patterns. Cotton Ball Lamb - Kids Crafts This cute lamb is an easy craft for young children to make using white cotton balls or purchased pom poms in any colour. Make your lamb large or small as you wish.   The Value of Clotheslines People are realizing that clotheslines are necessary due to rising energy costs and our attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Dryers are the largest energy consuming appliance after your fridge and stove.
