I, shdwknitter, have decided to knit a babushka. The said babushka will be blue, as that is my favorite color. This babushka will be my best finished product ever, and I am really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I am good at free-for all knitting, where i jump in with yarn and needles, and knit knit knit, and voila! a finished product! Well, I can’t do that this time, seeing as I have no clue how babushkas are made. I shall have to steel myself and follow the pattern with the explicit directions. *Sigh*
Hi, Shdwknitter! Very cool on the babushka!! I think all you really need to do is look for a small shawl or caplet type pattern and use that as a babushka. I made the Blue Jeans Lace Leaf Shawl and added repeats to it because it was a smaller, just over the shoulder-type shawl. That would be great to make for a babushka. Or, you could just go with a scarf pattern and use that as a head covering – not really a babushka, but it would do fine! Good luck on your pattern search – if you need help looking, just let me know!
