Assembling the shoulders
Do a three needle bind off. You may wish to view this video to assist you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpJUrcX52DU Slip the right front shoulder stitches on a needle (same size or smaller than the one you are using). Turn your left back shoulder so that the wrong side of the work is facing you. Take the right front shoulder needle and turn it so that the right side of work is facing the right right side of work of the left back. With both needles touching, insert working needle in first stitch of front needle and in the first stitch of the back needle, knit the two together and remove. You have one stitch on the right needle. Repeat with both second stitches, two stitches on the right needle, pass the first stitch on the right needle over this new stitch. One cast off. Repeat to end. Do the same on the other shoulder.
Finishing
Lose your threads. Block. Sew a small button.
Bow-tie
CO 5 sts. Knit 13 rows. Bind off. Wrap a string around the middle and make a knot in the back of the bow. Tie to front ofdress.
BASKET SHOES
Material:
Kaki light DK or Sport yarn 3mm circular needle You will start on the underfoot preferably using one of the methods for making the toe-up socks. I prefer the closed toe cast-on, but most people prefer Judy's magic cast-on - see video links. If you choose to do a regular cast on, you may sew up the sole later on.
