Mosaic Turkey Thanksgiving Dishcloth Knitting Pattern

by

Thanksgiving isn’t really a big crafting holiday, judging by the number of patterns relating to it compared to, say, Halloween or Christmas. But stitchers can still have a lot of fun with turkey themed motifs like this mosaic knitting pattern for a turkey.

Pardon a turkey uses mosaic garter stitch in worsted weight yarn, and can be used as a dishcloth or a trivet, or just as a decoration for the table.

It’s a fun way to learn mosaic knitting and reading from a chart if you don’t already have those skills, and a great way to add a bit of knitting to your holiday decor.

You can find the pattern, designed by Amy Marie, on Ravelry.

Knit a Log Cabin Blanket with All Your Scraps

I guess I must have had this pattern on my mind, because I had chosen this log cabin blanket recipe to write about, promptly forgot about it and a couple of weeks later started knitting a log cabin blanket using all my pink yarn. 

It might stay pink if it makes it to baby blanket sized, or I might add in some pastel green and blue, too, to make a bigger blanket. We’ll see. I’m also holding several strands of yarn together to make a kind of bulky yarn, which means it’s deeply satisfying how much yarn is used even as the project is still relatively small. 

In Kristen Finlay’s version, DK weight yarn scraps (or fingering/sock yarn held double) are used to make a simple scrappy log cabin blanket that’s lighter weight than my version. Log cabin is a great technique for knitters of any skill level because it’s worked in garter stitch. The only not completely basic technique you need for log cabin knitting is picking up stitches. 

If you’ve never worked a log cabin knitting project before, this is a good introduction, and it is really nice to use all your yarn scraps in one big project you’ll use for years to come. 

If you use a lot of DK weight yarn you can keep building on it whenever you finish a project, or if you use more worsted weight you can do the same thing with it, it will just be a little bigger starting out than the pattern calls for. How big it gets is totally up to you. 

I have really been enjoying working on my log cabin project, and it’s my current sitting at my desk and need a break knit (do you have one of those or is it just me?).
