For both patterns I used size 10.5 (6.5 mm) needles and used about 250 yards of yarn.
Diagonal Ribbing Pattern:
Cast on 24 stitchesR1: *K2, p2, repeat from* to end
R2: *K2, P2, repeat from* to end
R3: K1, *p2, k2 rep. from * to last 3 sts, p2 k1
R4: P1, *k2, p2, rep. from* to last 3 sts, k2,p1
R5: *P2, k2, rep. from* to end
R6: *P2, k2, rep. from* to end
R7: P1, *k2, p2, rep from* to last 3 sts, k2, p1
R8: K1, *p2, k2 rep. from* to last 3 stst, p2, k1
Continue repeating these 8 rows until you run out of yarn, bind off and weave in ends.
Checkerboard Pattern:
Cast on 20 stitchesR1: k5, p5, k5, p5
repeat for rows 2 - 5
R6: p5, k5, p5, k5
repeat for rows 7 - 10
Keep repeating these ten rows until you almost run out of yarn, bind off, and weave in ends.
Awesome! Kate
ReplyDeleteI especially love the subtle colors of the checkerboard pattern. Beautiful! Mary
