Well, as promised here is the pattern for my new design, the windmill, so named by
a spoonful of sugar. I still need a name for
the first cloth I did based on the
circular saw cloth - maybe I'll just end up calling it variation#1... ;)
Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 4mm needles. I used
Anchor Magiclene for this cloth, which gave it a lovely effect.
Instructions:Cast on 20 stitches.
This cloth is made up of 6 wedges, all exactly the same. Then the edge is sewn together, the threads are sewn in and the cloth is complete. :)
Every wedge:Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 6 stitches, P6.
Row 2: K6, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K6, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K6, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: K6, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K6, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
Row 12: K6, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.
Row 14: Bind off 6 sts, K5, YO, K to last 7 sts, turn.
Row 16: K6, YO, K to last 8 sts, turn.
Row 18: K6, YO, K to last 9 sts, turn.
Row 20: K6, YO, K to last 10 sts, turn.
Row 22: K6, YO, K to last 11 sts, turn.
Row 24: K6, YO, K to last 12 sts, turn.
Row 26: Bind off 6 sts, K across row.
It's a very simple pattern that looks awesome made up! Let me know if you make it, I'd love to see other peoples take on the pattern.
