Free Pattern – Perfect!

by

You know you have it. That perfect yarn that you bought with absolutely no idea what it would become, only secure in knowing that it would, someday, reveal to you what it was meant to be. Absolutely no idea what to do with it, just knew you had to have it….well, I have it. And I found it, and now I can put 2 and 2 together and come up with something close to 4.

in the natural color of Tilli Tomas’ Flurries.  80% Austrailian Merino and 20% Glass beads. These two were meant for each other. Gorgeous!

So, yes, I will cast on for this, yet another project, because as luck would have it, knitting doesn’t seem to be my hobby. Nope. My hobby is starting projects.

The neckwarmer pattern is free from Yarns And Music, and the awesome fibery yumminess is from Tilli Thomas. And you know what just doesn’t make sense? Even though it’s pictured in green, and even though green is soooo very much my color…. it’s won’t be knit in green. Hmm. Strange… The space/time continuum may not survive this deviation from norm!

  1. Yum……. I can’t wait to give it a try and knit my own neck warmer using Tilli Tomas.

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
