Knitting Songs.

                                      Old Knitting Songs.


A few years ago I had fun searching for knitting songs. It was before I found and joined Ravelry. Today  I was checking files on my old computer and found this file I had made and saved. I thought it would be nice to add them on here. 
If you know any other craft rhymes I would love to add them to this collection! 

Knitting rhymes:

In through the front door,
Once around the back,
Peek through the window,
And off jumps Jack!


Jack goes in,
Put on his scarf,
Comes back out,
And takes it off!



In through the front door,
Run around the back,
Peeking through the window,
And off jumps Jack.



In through the front door,
Around the back.
Out through the window,
And off  jumps Jack.



In through the front door,
Run around the back.
Hop through the window,
Off jumps Jack.



Squeeze down the chimney
Quick ‘round the tree.
Wiggle back up to the rooftop
Presents for me.



Go into the house
Grab your scarf
Take it outside
Before the cat barfs




Put the man on the fence;
Put his hat on;
Twist his leg
And knock him off.



In front of the fence
Catch the goat,
Back we go,
Jump off the boat!



Under the fence, (Knit or purl)
Catch the sheep.
Back we come,
Off we leap!



In through the front door, (Continental knit)
Up over the back,
Peek through the window,
And off jumps Jack!



Purl Rhymes:

In front of the fence,
Catch the goat,
Back we go,
Jump off the boat!



Under the fence
Catch the sheep,
Back we come,
Off we leap!



Down through the bunny hole
Around the big tree,
Up pops the bunny,
And off goes she!



Spring up from your slumber
We’ll dance round the tree
Wiggle back up to the rooftop
Presents for me!



Finger knitting:

Into the lake
Pull out the snake.



Crochet Rhymes:

Catch the fish and pull him through (chain)

Hook and pull through
Hook again baby and
Pull through two. (Double St)


Niddy-Noddy Song:

Niddy-noddy, niddy-noddy, two heads and one body.
'Tis one, tain't one, t'will be one soon.
'Tis two, tain't two, t'will be two soon.
'Tis three, tain't three, t'will be three soon.

  

Lace Makers Prayer:

Guide my hands with speed and grace,
To weave the intricacies of this lace.
Let the bobbins weave with ease
To create a pattern that will please.
Let there be Love in its creation
And give it Artistry in its inspiration.
May special care keep the threads from breaking
And give me Energy for its making.
Allow this lace to bring joy and pleasure
And give to others a lifelong treasure.


I do hope others can add to this list!
