Stingrays...

 In June 2015 I have published knitting pattern for a stingray toy.

Stella, the stingray

Last week I received a message on Ravelry from someone asking if there is a way to turn my toy into a hat. Sometimes I just love to have a fun and challenge myself to create something different.

This is what I have come up with:

Stingray Hat and Stella, the stingray toy

Yesterday morning I was trying to work on the pattern. Apparently our dog had a different plan for my morning.

WIP 

After a good belly rub, and a hike in the woods, he was ready for some nap time and finally I could work on the pattern. At the moment the pattern is at a test knit stage and at the hands of the TE. 
Hopefully the final pattern will be ready for publishing by the end of this month.

Knitting Pattern for Stella, the stingray

Stella, the stingray

Sometimes my inspiration for knitted toys is completely random. One day we watched  a documentary about stingrays and I was mesmerized by their gracious movements, and their own beauty. I just had to knit one.

Stella, the stingray top

This adorable stingray is knitted in two pieces, then sewn together. Shaping is done with simple increases and decreases stitches. It is great pattern for someone who is about to try knitting toys for the first time.
