I made these for Bettina. She started work at our HQ just months before I started. She is originally from Germany and is returning home next week after being here 4 years. She'll work for our German office and still be part of our section, as well.
I wanted to give her something different and American. Plus, she's been in the south so I'm sure she had to learn the word "britches". I got this pattern from a post on KnittingNovices, a Yahoo group that I belong to. You can find the pattern at http://makeit.ladynthread.com/. The knitted instructions do have one error--when you start the decreases you need to knit one, then knit two together, yo, knit two together etc.. Also, the verse has a typo so look for that if you copy and paste. It's a very quick and easy pattern and I think this is an adorable idea. Thank you to lady_n_thread for sharing.
Now on to macrame key rings for my Weight Watcher buddies.
