I do have that in a book somewhere, but there maybe more than one rhyme
for that.

Hang in there I will have a look, this is from the bookHomespun
handicrafts by Ella Shannon bowles 1931

Here is one Niddy Noddy, Niddy Noddy Two heads with one body

When I'm a grown-up woman,
with my hair up on my head
I'ill sit and sew tell very late
and never go to bed.

and this one is out of Certrude Whiting, Old-time tools and toys of
needlework.

A knitting Rhyme

Where's the cat whose twisted cradle
All the children, young and old,
Have been making-still are making-
will be making-turn and fold,
twist, and slip, and turn, and double,
till the very world is old.

Both books were found at seconds tables in Book City, Toronto, years ago
and both were reissues in the seventies.
