I found a pattern for a doll cradle- but I was wondering if someone could walk me through the steps of how to make it on a circular needle instead of flat? Tiny Crib – measures 5″ | Miss Lizzy's Knits Also, I tried before to make a doll cradle purse, and I would like to see if I can modify this pattern, to make my own version of a cradle purse. I had previously tried to make this cradle purse, but I found the instructions confusing Ravelry: Cradle Bag pattern by Frankie Brown
Cute pattern!
You could knit the pattern as given taking notes as you work the rows. It might make it easier to then repeat the pattern in the round.
Round 1 knit
Round 2 purl
Round 3-6 k4,p4
Round 7-10 p4,k4
You should see the same pattern forming in the round as you worked knitting flat. Since you’re working in the round the pattern will continue. (The pattern as given doesn’t include any seam sts but you wouldn’t need them in the round anyway.)
Thanks! I am currently making a garter stitch base, then I plan to pick up 88 stitches and do seed stitch for a few inches- then switch to the basket weave pattern- so when I fold it over, it will be basket weave- then the eyelets will be on the bottom. I am going to use the top of the Frankie Brown pattern to make the top of the bag. I haven’t really thought about how to do the hood part yet, but I will cross that bridge when I get there, Then finish off with ribbon for the draw string of the bag- I am excited about how this is going to look, and I hope it will turn out better than my previous attempt.

A good plan. Make sure to pick up 88sts so that the pattern is continuous. Let us know how it’s going and post a photo when you finish please.
