Our local hospital has asked for Twiddle Muffs. These are used for patients with dementia. There's lots of tactile little things, inside and out, and it keeps restless hands busy.
This is my first Twiddle Muff, although I have made two Fidget Mitts before. The muff is two layers of chunky yarn, knitted on my Addi Express knitting machine. The knitting took about 30 minutes, the grafting 5, and too much time to add the buttons etc.
In this project, I've learned how to make a crocheted twisted fringe, and how to crochet onto knitted fabric. Another muff is waiting to be decorated, and it's definitely going to have far more crochet on it. Buttons take so much time!
