Löysin tälläsen ihanan ohjeen ja ajattelin että siitä sais modattua typykälle kivan kesäjakun. Ihan yllättävän hyvin mä sain mielestäni laskettua koukun koon, vaikka epäilin ettei siitä tuu mitään. Jakku on tytölle vielä vähän reilu, mutta kuitenkin sen kokonen, että voi käyttää sitä jo ihan hyvin.

I found this really pretty pattern and thought that it could be crocheted a bit smaller than the pattern said. I'm really pleased with the result. It's a bit loose for my daughter, but so it goes a few more summers for her than just this one.

Tämä on taas töitä jotka ovat odottaneet listalla, että alan tekemään. Ajattelin, että teen pienemmälle typylle tälläisen jakun, mutta normaaliin tapaan en jaksanut alkaa säätämään koon muuttamisen kanssa ja jakusta tuli tytölle vielä ihan liian iso. Onneksi niin päin että on iso eikä pieni, eli säästetään takkia ensi vuoteen :)

This is again one project that has been on my To do-list for ages. A while back I decided to start it and as usual I didn't want to modify the pattern, so this is Way too big for my daughter. It's good that it's big and not small, 'cause it'll wait for next years summer :)

Pitkästä aikaa oon saanut jotain valmiiksi. Töitä on kesken varmaan toistakymmentä ja jokainen on aika suuritöinen ja niihin tulee ähky aika nopsaan. 

Isompi tyttö tartti villatakin ja typerästi en katellut noita ohjeen senttikokoja, vaan lonkalta valitsin kooksi iän mukasen ohjeen. Ei olis kannattanut, nyt meillä on villatakki joka on liian pieni isommalle tytölle, mutta liian iso pienemmälle. Tämä menee siis nyt pienemmälle tytölle käyttöön, kääritään hihat niin ei oo ihan niin iso :) Ens kerralla sit vähän paremmin ajatus mukaan ja oikeaa kokoa tekemään (niin varmaan :D )

Taidan tehdä jotain pieniä töitä nyt välissä, että saisin tännekin taas jotain eloa.

This is the first project in ages that I got finished. I've got like ten to twenty UFO's waiting and almost every one is big and I get bored with them pretty quickly 'cause they don't finish :)

My older daughter needed a jacket for the cold weathers so I decided to crochet this. I didn't check out the measurements, just the age and started crocheting. Now I've got a jacket that's too small for my older daughter and too big for my younger daughter. I'm still going to use it with my younger daughter, just have to roll the sleeves up. Next time I'll check the measurements (as if).

I think I'm knitting or crocheting something small, so I'll get something here soon.

Takkinen / Jacket

Ultrassa sanoivat että vauva saattaisi olla poika. Toki totuus paljastuu vasta kun beebis oikeesti on pihalla mahasta, mutta koska kaikki (tai ainakin suurin osa) mun tekemistä vauvanvaatteista on aika tyttövärisiä niin halusin tehdä jotain edes hitusen poikamaisempaa. 

Lanka loppu ihan viime metreillä, joten jouduin ettimään jämistäni mahdollisimman saman sävyistä lankaa mistä virkata hihojen yläosan ja reunukset. Värissä en itse juurikaan huomaa eroa, mutta kiillossa huomaan.

Takista puuttuu napit, koska napit on pakattu jo muuttolaatikkoon. Kerkeehän ne sitten lisäilemään myöhemminkin, kun en viitsi uusia ostaa (nappeja on 2 isoa hillopurkillista) enkä viitsi purkaa jo valmiiksi pakattua laatikkoa.

The midwife said in the ultrasound that the baby might be a boy. Of course the truth will be seen after the baby really is out of my tummy.But because allmost every piece I've knitted or crocheted for my kids are pink or otherwise girly I decided to do something that's more suitable for a boy.

I ran out of yarn just in the end so I had to go through my stash and find a yarn thats as close as possible to the original one. I really can't tell a difference in the color but the other yarn is more glossy.

The jacket dosen't have buttons yet, because I've packed them allready. I think I'll have time to add them after we've moved. I really don't want to buy new ones (I've got like two big jars of buttons) and I really don't want to unpack a packed box before we get to the new apartment.

Mä oon tykästynyt näihin jämälankaprojekteihin :) Löysin Sanna Vatasen ohjeen Modasta joka oli ollu pyörimässä tuolla kaapissa jo jonkun aikaa. Sanna Vatasen mallit on jotenkin tosi kekseliäitä ja tykkään hänen tavastaan käyttää tosi paljon jämiä töissään. Muutama Moda tuolla vielä on missä on hänen ohjeitaan, pitänee tutkia löytyiskö vielä kivoja ohjeita.

Typy ei ehkä oo näistä mun projekteista niin innoissaan. Valitteli että niissä kestää liian kauan ja hän ei jaksa odottaa. Pitää ehkä jättää seuraavalla kerralla kertomatta jos oon hänelle jotain tällästä "isompaa" tekemässä ja ilahduttaa sitten vaan suoraan valmiilla tekeleellä. Tai sit vaan tehdä nopeita ja helppoja hommia mitkä valmistuu jo samana päivänä.

Pattern Lapsen Jämälankatakki Moda 1/2011, Moda is a knitting magazine here in Finland and Lapsen Jämälankatakki means Child's Scrappy Cardigan.

Size 5-year-old

Yardage 581 meters / 635 yards

Needles 3,5 mm / US 4 32" circular needle

I've really fallen in love with these scrappy projects :) I found a Finnish designer Sanna Vatanen's pattern from a knitting magazine called Moda. The magazine is over one-yar-old, so the pattern has been in my pattern stash for a while. I like the designers patterns 'cause they are really clever, beautiful and she uses a lot of scraps in them. I've still got a few of her patterns here in  my pattern stash so probably I'll be doing something other of her patterns again.

My daughter isn't so happy of my projects. She said they take too long to finish and she doesn't have the patience to wait. Maybe I'll have to knit so that she doesn't know it's for her or I'll have to do quick projects that are ready the same day.

Möökö Cardigan Pattern

Multa kysyttiin Ravelryssa Möökö-villatakin ohjetta englanniksi ja kun sellaista ei minun tietojeni mukaan ole, niin kysyin kirjoittajalta saisinko kääntää ohjeen englanniksi blogiini. Myöntävä vastaus tuli ja tässä käännös :) Alkuperäinen ohje täällä.

-----

I was asked in Ravelry if this Möökö pattern is somewhere in English and because I didn't know of a English version I asked the writer if I could translate it in to my blog. She said it was okay, so here goes. The original pattern can be found here.

-----

The Size is about 80cm-98cm So it's for a 1-year-old to 2-year old depending on you're own gauge. The original pattern writer had a very loose gauge.

The original yarn was was a Finnsh yarn called Kelo from Novita, it is a Super Bulky yarn knitted and crocheted with a size 8mm / Us 11 Needle. In this pattern the hook used was 8mm / Us L. 

If you want to find a yarn as close as possible to the original, check the weight and yardage.  The original yardage of the skein is 98 yards (90 meters) and the weight is 100 grams (3.53 ounces).

I'm using the American terms of crocheting.

Rs = right side

Ws = Wrong side

Ch = chain

st = stitch

sts = stitches

sl st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

hdc = half double crochet

dc = double crochet

-----

The cardigan is crocheted first in one piece and then when the decreasing starts you crochet first the left front, then the right front and then the back. Sleeves are crocheted separately. There is always a 1ch in the end of a row (not on the last row) and after you turn, jump over it (I haven't written it).

Right, left and back bottom:

Chain 51 sts.

Row 1 (rs). Turn and crochet sc starting from the 2nd sts, turn.

Row 2-24. Crochet 1 sc to all sc, turn.

Mä oon huikeen innostunut nyt tekeemään moninkertaisella langalla erilaisia vaatteita muksuille :) Isompi typy ois halunnut samanlaisen takin kuin pikkusiskon möökö, mutta ehdotin että jos tehtäis jotain erilaista, kelpasi. Käytiin lankojen värejä läpi ja typy valitsi liiloja ja violetteja lankoja enimmäkseen, joten napsin pois muut värit seasta. 

Mä oon ehkä maailman huonoin mittaamaan tiheyttä, joten kun kappaleet oli valmiita ja kokeiltiin muksun päälle, niin huomasin leveyden olevan vähän turhan nafti. Tein siis etureunoihin/kaulukseen vielä 6 kerrosta lisää.

Ylemmässä kuvassa värit on melko vääristyneet, näyttää liian siniseltä. Alemmassa kuvassa taas vaaleimmat liilat näyttää liian valkosilta, mutta muuten värit vastaa enemmän todellisia.

I'm really in to making clothes to my girls with a bulky or super bulky yarn made from many strands of lighter wight yarns. My older daughter wanted a cardigan too, se would have wanted a Möökö too but I wanted to make something different. After a bit of persuasion it was ok with her :) We went through my yarns and ended up with a lot of purple ones.

Im really lazy checking my gauge so when the pieces were ready and we tried them on, the front wasn't  wide enough so I knitted six rows more to the front and collar edges.

In the upper picture the colors are too blue. In the lower picture the colors are more like the real ones, maybe the light ones are a bit too white but still more like the real ones.
