[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Knitting braille letters

[carcione at access.net]

I figured out a good way to knit braille, using tiny bobbles.  

In a stockinette piece, where you want a dot, knit 3 stitches into 1 stitch
by doing knit, yarn over, knit, then slip those 3 stitches back to the left
needle and knit them together through the back loop.  Gently pull the bobble
tight.  It makes a nice little round dot on both sides of the fabric, but
neater on the purl side.  Then purl the next row, as usual in stockinette.

 

I'm making a throw for a blind friend, and she wants the logo of the theater
where she wants to use it on the throw.  I've got the print letters, and I
thought it would be neat to put braille letters, too.  They came out nice,
too.

Now I can put braille on anything I want.  I could even sign my work, or put
my friend's name on it.  Woo-hoo!
