LEARN A NEW STITCH!
FREE PATTERN – KNIT
Today’s pattern is Flower
Buds. I’m not sure whether you can
pick it up from the photo but the stitch resembles a flower on a stem; very
pretty. The pattern is worked over a
multiple of 8 + 5 stitches so I made a little larger border than I usually
do. I actually like the way it turned
out; I may use this border more often.
You can add an additional 8 sts to the pattern and make the border
smaller if you’d like. Doing so will result in a larger cloth. This one measures 8.5” x 8.5” which is
perfect for me! The pattern works up rather quickly, is a great take-along
project and this cloth coupled with a few more (or several of this one in
different colors) would make a great birthday, Christmas or housewarming
gift. Just tuck them away in a small
basket with some pretty soap (if you’re thinking face cloth) or perhaps some
hand lotion (if you’re thinking dishcloth)! You could get a jump-start on your
Christmas gift giving and make it a hand-made Christmas, Just a thought…
