A Bit of Texture
 |
| close up of stitch pattern June 2020 |
Marilyn brought several balls of Sugar and Cream when she and my BIL stopped by a couple of weeks ago. She's been cleaning closets and storage spaces and found the yarn.
After knitting several pair of socks on size 2 needles, I needed to shake things up with larger needles for a bit.
A quick search in the pattern binders unearthed a favorite pattern with a nicely textured stitch pattern. The project requires size 8 needles. I cast on 50 stitches and began knitting.
Here's the stitch pattern (it makes a nice towel, dishcloth, or even a blanket) if you want to make something with it:
Rows 1 and 2: Knit
Rows 3 and 4: Knit 2, *Knit 1, Purl 1* until the last two stitches - Knit the last two stitches
Repeat these four rows until you reach the desired length. Note: the edges do not curl or roll because of the knit edge stitches.
Thanks for sharing that pattern. I need to make new dishcloths and will try that pattern.
ReplyDeleteI need some new dishcloths! Several of mine have recently ended up in the "rag bag" (the worn ones are great for scrubbing floors). Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteNice pattern...
ReplyDeleteNice pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those size 8s feel like TREE TRUNKS after knitting with sock size needles. LOL
I love textured patterns. I think I'll have to incorporate it into my 2nd pandemic shawl.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pattern. I've been knitting dishcloths the past few days too. I've been doing a simple k2p2 with 4 k stitches for the border. It makes a nice relaxing project.

Pretty! I will give it a try on the next dishcloth!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great texture for a cloth. I use some of mine to hold my soap so it dries and that would be great for that.
ReplyDeleteThat stitch combo does produce nice texture. Are you using the Sugar and Cream? I keep thinking I should clean closets but I’m not that motivated to. I did get rid of a skirt that hasn’t fit in 20+ years. Of course it only went into a bag in my closet waiting for the group I donate to starts taking donations again.
ReplyDeleteActually I d like a sock made in that pattern! Lol. Gotta save it
ReplyDeleteOops I d have to think about that because it is knit flat and I would knit the socks in the round
