Teething Knots

These teething knots make great baby gifts.  They work up quickly, and are super simple to make.  I made mine out of organic cotton, since they're meant for babies to chew on, but you could make them out of anything you have on hand.

Basically, you just work in rows until the cloth is however long you want it +2-- be sure to figure in the knot -- it will make it shorter. 

Here's an example of what I did:
Single Knot (green)
H (5.00) hook
Worsted weight yarn
1) Ch 30, turn
2) DC in 3rd ch from your hook, and in each ch across
3) Turn, ch 2, dc in each dc across. 
Repeat row 3 until you reach the desired length (mine is repeated twice, for a total of 5 rows)
Tie a tight knot in one end.
Get the knot damp, then throw it in the freezer for a few minutes
Give to baby and let him chomp away!

Double Knot (pink)
1) Ch 37, turn
2) DC in 3rd ch from hook, and in each ch across
3) Turn, ch 2, dc in each dc across
Repeat row 3 until desired length (mine is repeated once, for a total of 4 rows)
Tie a tight knot in either end
Get the knot damp, then throw it in the freezer for a few minutes
