A Peek In My Sketchbook: How To Draw Knit Hats and Mittens

With cooler weather and lots of rain to boot at last a reality in my little corner of the world, my winter clothing themed crafts this year at last make a bit more sense decorating our home! I recently saw a tiny bit of clip art in a local ad that lead to this page in my sketchbook, in which I figured out how to draw adorable knit hats and mittens, with ribs and cables to boot! I do knit a bit, so it does help to know what knits actually look like. If you do not knit and you want to have a go at drawing some of these winter items yourself, I recommend taking a look at what knits actually look like! I have been doing lots and lots of painting in this large A4 sized sketchbook, so a page filled with simple drawings was quite honestly such a relief! Drawing these items is really quite simple, but if you must start by using a pencil to draw the shape, and then go over that with a pen and add the details with a pen, got it? Curios to know what is on the opposite page of these knits, hmmm, it might just be the theme for next week on the blog, or so it seems to be!

Ta da, a sweet little vintage looking dove, carrying an olive branch just in time for chanukah, which means that yippee, doves can be symbols for chanukah, and so I am going for it, stay tuned on that! If nothing else I do hope that when you look at my sketchbook adventures you will seriously consider taking a journey yourself! I will say, it is not always smooth sailing, but at the end of the day I am SO happy to have a record of my creative musings neatly tucked into a book, and at long last I understand all the others who have said exactly the same thing!
