Disclaimer: These patterns were “named” years ago by a friend. For those who feel self-important enough to think they were named for you specifically, they were not.
We do not know you nor are we out to “get” you.
We suggest intense therapy for those who think otherwise.
I used #20 thread on all of the samples. You can use whatever yarn and needles you wish…
“Bonnie Boner” (Eddie Erected or The Stallion)
#1 needles
I used the Double Seed Stitch Pattern:
Rows 1 & 2: *k2, p2* across.
Rows 3 & 4: *p2, k2* across.
Cast on 64 sts.
Do the stitch pattern or knit in stockinette stitch for 6 rows.
Next Row: Do the pattern stitch or knit across on 20 sts. Put rem stitches on a holder.
Work on these 20 sts for 18 rows. Cut yarn, leaving enough to thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.
Join yarn to next 24 sts & do pattern stitch or knit for 24+ rows. Or however you want the main bit to be.
Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.
Join yarn to last 20 sts, do the pattern stitch or knit for 18 rows.
Thread yarn through sts & draw up tight, secure.
Sew seam. See photo below. The seam is from the tip of the longest bit, to the sack, around and to the top of the warmer.

You can copy, use the pattern to make & sell the finished items & pass around the patterns featured on this page, BUT!, please keep my name & copyright attached to each copy.
My Grandmother made these for the soldiers in the first world war. She and many others made them for the guys in the trenches. The men really did wear them. To say they are copyrighted is not true. I can’t see how a copyright can be put on something that is over a hundred years old. My grandmother gave me the pattern over 50 years ago.

I had copied this from when it was still on the other website (the danglebits site) which is looking to be no longer working…
I think the only reason that Debra Matz put a copyright on it was because she wrote it up for her website and wanted to keep that credit. I’m not her and have no connection to her- but apparently this page is coming up in searches…
there is a poem that goes with this- do you know it?
Now that you’re getting older,
And the nights are getting colder,
Nothing could be neater,
Than this little Peter Heater….
is the poem that you are looking for, from the website:

Do you have the “full” size pattern in crochet? Approximately what are the sizes?
There are crochet instructions here: http://hearthwench.tripod.com/cwillie.html

These are just great. Unfortunately I am totally helpless when not knitting in a straight line. (Read: I make scarfs, end of talent)
Is there anyone out there who would be interested in making some of these and selling them to me at a reasonable price? Make them in soft yarn and some nice colors. Perhaps about 5 of each size? I’d like to try and sell them on my website.
Anyone interested please contact me at the email on my site.
I’m new to knitting.. In the instructions when it says to purl back, is that meaning to purl an entire row?
