Do you mean the knitting pattern? You could knit a very basic one yourself on large pins. Most of the high street shops are selling mass produced cardis or jumpers which look just like they have been hand knitted. Unless you mean the ones using fine wool?

No id like a hand knitted one ann! Ive never knitted i dont think i could do it!??

I think shop ones just dont look as nice for some reason? Just really want one. I got one on ebay once- a one off no labels quite fine and "loopy" knitted. Lovely i love it xx

Its less loopy than that mamya LOL i dunno how to describe.. Its not "3D" like that one if u get me xxx

Whoever does those 'loopy' knits needs a medal, have done a few in my time. The worst was a large 'Dennis the Menace' for my daughter, his hair was all the loop stitch and boy was there lots of it lol

[tinkerbell23]

Hahahah im picturing a dennis the menace!

Id love to learn ive said on here before but i couldnt make a cardi
I just know!!

I wish i knew the way to describe it. Its flat and big loops the knit- loose and "holey" xx

I crotched a coat with a hood in the loop design, in double wool, brown and a beige colour, fo my daughter when she was about four. As she grew, I added to it at the bottom, and sleeves, and inserted a longer zip. That coat was so warm, and it lasted years.

Knitting and crotchet is easy when you get the hang of it. I don't any more, the old arthritis, but I used to knit whilst on my excercise bike, going for miles, whilst watching tv.

Learn how to knit! There are lots of easy patterns, books to help you get started, and (I hate to say this) but YouTube have some good demos although the best way is to get someone to show you how. You can get knitting wool on e bay. One tip however - always check your knitting, before you start. This is called doing a tension square. I knit a lot, but I knit tighter than most people, if you don't check how tight your knitting is your garment won't work out. Good luck and persevere it's worth it you can also knit bags belts leg warmers...........................

I promise i will learn! Theres still wool shops here and i spied some needles in the charity shop- plus my massive ebay addiction!!

Thanks for the tips and encouragement xxxx

Find a proper wool shop some of them keep a list of women who will knoit to order be prepared to pay for wool and pattern and about £25 for the knitter although some charge by the ball used or per 100g of wool

Anne thank you for that video clip, I can knit almost everything except loops.
