Few days ago Morticia
Addams told me about her new project and as she knew about the success
with the KAL I organized in 2008
with her pattern, she asked me if I want to organize a KAL again this
year. I had no doubt, so I asked her to send the pattern. And so she did
so now I have the pattern and I'm preparing every thing. She told me
that it is a washcloth for Gomez as last year.If
you would like to knit along with us again,
I can tell you that you should prepare:
neeedles
number 3,5 mm - or use what
you normally do and what goes with your cotton
Yarn: cotton for washcloths in black, yellow and blue (or brown, or
other dark colour)
|
|
Day
One
|
Skill level: Easy
Yarn: use what you normally use to make wash- and dishcloths.
Colours: black, yellow, dark red/brown/blue
Other materials: yarn needle
scissors
Needle size: E-4 / 3.5 mm
Gauge: is not important in this project

Pattern Notes
The numbers in the () show how many sts on each needle.
Tip to start all rows: purl the first st, pull the yarn kindly, then k across.
I-cord knitting here: *k2, sl sts back to right needle*, rep *-*
Stitches - knit: CO (cast on), BO (bind
off), k (knit), p (purl), ppso (pass purl stitch over), rep (repeat), *-* (rep
from * to *)
PART ONE
CO50 with black
Rows 1 - 3: k
Row 4: k10, BO12, k across
You have now two groups of sts
Group 10sts: rows 5 - 22: k
Row 23 - above the BO - kfb1, k across (11)
Row 24: k to last st: kfb (12)
Row 25: kfb1, k across (13)
Row 26: k to last st: kfb (14)
Row 27: kfb1, k across (15)

Day

Now cut the yarn and k group of 28 sts the same way – with the inc
above the BO. You have 2 groups of sts (15+ 33) which you join CO2 between
(15+33+2=50)
Rows 28 – 31: k
Row 32: k8, BO8, k4, BO8, k4, BO8, k8
You have now 4 groups of sts (8 – 5 – 5 – 8)
Rows 33 – 46: k 14 rows on each group
