Webkinz Couture Revisited

I know I've posted this outfit before, but now I have a pattern to go along with it. On Wednesday night, we were not only joined by the adorable Loopettes, but some of their furry webkinz as well. Shauna seemed very interested about giving her webkinz some style, so Ingrid requested the pattern for the Webkinz couture. It's the first time I've ever written a pattern, so I hope it makes sense. Here goes!

Webkinz scarf and booties

For the booties, make 4 Bitty Baby booties, pattern courtesy of Dawn K.

For the scarf
Using size 7 double-pointed needles, cast on 8 stitches. Knit in garter stitch until 10 ½ inches in length. Slip 4 stitches onto another needle and address later. Knit the 4 stitches on the remaining needle for 12 rows, continuing in garter stitch. Cut yarn, leaving an 8-inch tail, but leave stitches on the needle. Go back to the other needle and join in yarn. Knit 12 rows in garter stitch, making sure that you end with the yarn on the outside edge. (If you don’t, rip out or add a row. Just make sure it is even with the stitches you have knit on the other needle.) Slip stitches from one needle to the other, so that all 8 stitches are on one needle. Knit back and forth for 10 more rows (garter stitch) and bind off. If a flower is desired, knit in contrasting color, following the instructions below. Center on the end opposite from the slit you have created and sew on with needle and thread. Wrap the scarf around webkinz and pull flower end through the slit. You now have a stylin' pet!
