It’s time again for my installment of the Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. If you’ve just joining us, several knitting bloggers have gotten together this year to present a new dishcloth/washcloth knitting pattern every week through the end of November. You can join us on Facebook and share your finished cloths or just stitch the ones you like on your own.
This month I wanted to do an easy cable knitting pattern, but something that was a little more interesting than basic twists. The chevron cable was a perfect choice because it is as easy as a basic cable but looks a lot more interesting.
If you need help with the basics of cables, check out this video:
Materials
- one skein, or about 93 yards medium weight cotton yarn of your choice (I used Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton in Blueberry
- one pair size 7 US/4.5 mm knitting needles
- one cable needle or double-pointed knitting needle size 7 or smaller
Gauge
20 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches/10 cm in cable pattern. Gauge is not that critical.
Size
Finished washcloth is 9 inches/23 cm square. To alter size, increase or decrease by multiples of 12 plus 2.
Chevron Cable Dishcloth Pattern
Cast on 58 stitches.
Knit 4 rows.
Keeping the first 4 and last 4 stitches in pattern, work Chevron Cable pattern on center 50 stitches as follows:
Row 1 (wrong side) and all other wrong-side rows: Purl.
Row 2: K1, *slip 3 sts onto cable needle and hold in back. K3, then k3 from dpn. Slip 3 sts onto cable needle and hold in front. K3, then k3 from dpn. Repeat from *, end k1.
Row 4, 6 and 8: Knit.
Repeat 5 times. Work rows 1-3 again, then knit 4 rows.
Bind off.
Add this project to your Ravelry queue.
