HomeDecoKnitting

Just take a look how cute home decoration knitting I made! It is a sweeping brush handle woolly sweater! It is made of left over / loose end yarns. It is very easy to complete. It is done by circular knitting with 5 knitting needles. I had no 3 needles and the yarns approx 100 g = 200 m. It actually doesn't matter. You can mix all kind of yarns as long as they are about the same thickness. You can mix 100 % wool and artificial fibres. I even had some glittering in few, which you can't see on the pic.

I used 4 stitches on each needle (16 stitches total). I knit all the stitches. The length is of course individual but the basic handles at my corner of the world are approx 140-145 cm high. I just made a knot at each different yarn start/end and left 3- 5 cm loose end and pushed it inside the sweater. At the end I just knit together 2 stitches on each needle, and on the next round again 2 stitches together on each needle. Then I had 2 stitches left on each needle (8 sticthces total) and I cut the yarn and pull it through these 8 stitches and tightened. I never turn around the sweeping brush sweater. I just carefully used a needle to zig zag the yarn back and forth inside the sweater. It really was possible because I didn't do it longer than the length of the needle. Then I pulled the loose end of the yarn to the front side, tightened a bit and cut it off. 

 

At some point the sweater started to get a bit too long to be easy to knit so I used safety pins to keep it in order and easier to work with. It was all fun. And, this actually is low budget gift idea for the upcoming Yule tide with FashionNOW idea if you use your loose end yarns and don't buy any new! Knitting this is easy and fun so it does good on your mental health and on the other's health too because I can promise it will bring a smile at everyone's face who will see it! 💖
