Knitted Kitchen #38 – Simple Cables
The Simple Cable washcloth is pattern #38 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. If you’ve never tried cables, this pattern is a great introduction. They look much more intimidating than they really are! With this pattern and tutorial, you’ll learn how to make a basic “2 over 2” cable, crossing to the left and to the right.
The Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Together with a great team of designers and will be bringing you 48 washcloth patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will include a photo and/or video tutorial, so it’s a fun way to learn new stitches and techniques.
Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for our designs. I’ve chosen their 24/7 Cotton for all my washcloths and am really enjoying working with it. For more information about the event and links to the patterns, be sure to visit the main #KnittedKitchen post. I hope you’ll join in the fun!

Easy Knit Sweater Pattern – Jack & Jill
Cold weather is coming soon – be ready with this easy, knit sweater! Varying textures, stripes, and colorblocking create a timeless look with modern appeal. It was originally designed with Jack in mind, but the straight, relaxed fit means it’s great for Jill too! Either way, it’s sure to be a favorite.

Plymouth Homestead Yarn
This yarn has a great texture and comes in lots of different color choices! I love the combination of a heathered neutral and a solid color. It is a 100% wool yarn, which means it blocks beautifully, but needs to be hand washed. If you want a machine washable sweater, any plain, worsted weight yarn should work for this pattern.
Jack & Jill Sweater

- Yarn: Plymouth Homestead medium / worsted weight, 100% wool
- [4, 4, 4, 5] skeins Brick (A)
- 2 skeins Brown Heather (B)

- Needles:
- Size 9 (5.5 mm) needles, or size needed to match gauge.
- Size 8 (5mm) needles, or 1 size smaller than the other needles used.
- Notions:
- Yarn or tapestry needle

Project Level:
Easy – Limited shaping. All stockinette and garter stitch.
Gauge:
- 13 sts x 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette (knit RS rows, purl WS rows)
- 13 sts x 29 rows = 4 inches in garter (knit every row)
Abbreviations used:
- k = knit
- p = purl
- sl = slip
- ssk = slip-slip-knit
- k2tog = knit 2 together
- kfb = knit front and back

Knitted Kitchen #29 – Trinity Stitch
The Trinity Stitch washcloth is pattern #29 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. This fun stitch pattern is sometimes also called raspberry stitch. It uses increases and decreases to create a series of small bumps or bobbles that look just like little berries. The pattern includes a video tutorial for the trinity stitch as well!
The Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Together with a great team of designers and will be bringing you 48 washcloth patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will include a photo and/or video tutorial, so it’s a fun way to learn new stitches and techniques.
Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for our designs. I’ve chosen their 24/7 Cotton for all my washcloths and am really enjoying working with it. For more information about the event and links to the patterns, be sure to visit the main #KnittedKitchen post. I hope you’ll join in the fun!

Knitted Kitchen #24 – Floral Lace
The Floral Lace washcloth is pattern #24 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. If you haven’t tried lace yet, this design is an easy introduction. All the lace work is done on the right side rows. The video tutorial works through one of the lace rows and shows all of the different stitches used in the pattern.
The Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Together with a great team of designers and will be bringing you 48 washcloth patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will include a photo and/or video tutorial, so it’s a fun way to learn new stitches and techniques.
Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for our designs. I’ve chosen their 24/7 Cotton for all my washcloths and am really enjoying working with it. For more information about the event and links to the patterns, be sure to visit the main #KnittedKitchen post. I hope you’ll join in the fun!

Main section of square
Note: The rows in this section start with a 4 stitch, seed stitch border (for the left and top edges) just like we have done in the other squares. Unfortunately that last stitch gets swallowed up by the garter stitch, so these borders will look just a bit smaller than the others. Alternately, you could do 5 stitches of seed stitch, but then these borders will be slightly larger than the others.
Row 6: Sl 1, k 1, p 1, k across to marker, sm, k across to last 3 sts, p 1, k 1, p 1.
Row 7: Sl 1, k 1, p 1, k across to 2 stitches before marker, ssk, sm, k2tog, k across to last 3 sts, p 1, k 1, p 1. (82 [ 114] sts)

Knitted Kitchen #7 – Itty Bitty Bobbles Washcloth
The Itty Bitty Bobbles Washcloth is pattern #7 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. These tiny, 2-row bobbles are easy to make and do not involve turning your work back and forth for each bobble, like larger ones do. They create a fun, scrubby texture too! The pattern includes both written and charted versions of the instructions. There is also a video tutorial for making the bobbles.
The Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Together with a great team of designers and will be bringing you 48 washcloth patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will include a photo and/or video tutorial, so it’s a fun way to learn new stitches and techniques.

Itty Bitty Bobbles Washcloth
Add this to your Ravelry Queue
Materials:
- 95-170 yds Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn – shown in Lilac
- Size 6 (4mm) knitting needles or size needed to obtain gauge
- Yarn needle
Difficulty:
Intermediate – Bobbles on a stockinette background, with a seed stitch border. Includes video tutorial for the bobbles.
Sizes:
Instructions are written for a 9″ square, with changes for a 12″ square in [ ]
Gauge:
20 sts x 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette.
Abbreviations used:
- k = knit
- p = purl
- sl = slip
- p4pso = pass 4 previous stitches over (see special stitch)
- RS = Right Side
- WS = Wrong Side
Recommended Resources:
Stitch multiples:
- The bobble pattern in the middle of this square is a multiple of 4 stitches plus 1 wide, and a multiple of 8 rows plus 2 tall.
- 2 extra stockinette stitches are added on each side of the chevron section, to make it stand out from the border, making it a multiple of 4 stitches plus 5. The number of stockinette rows before and after the bobbles section varies between the two squares.
- Both squares also include a seed stitch border of 5 rows on the top and bottom, and 4 stitches on each side.
Special Stitch:
Pass 4 previous stitches over (p4pso): On right needle, (pass the 2nd to last stitch over the last stitch) 4 times.
For this pattern, the p4pso is how the bobbles are finished. On the previous (right side row) you will have increased 1 stitch into 5 by working (k, p, k, p, k) all into the same stitch.
On this (wrong side) row, you will first be knitting those 5 stitches, then working the p4pso to decrease them back down to 1 stitch and complete the bobble. See video tutorial below.

Knitted Kitchen #3 – Garter Chevrons
This Garter Chevron Washcloth is pattern #3 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. It’s a simple design with just knits and purls, and is available in 9 inch and 12 inch sizes. The pattern includes both written and charted versions of the instructions. There is also a video tutorial that focuses on reading and following the charts.
The Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Together with a great team of designers and will be bringing you 48 washcloth patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will include a photo and/or video tutorial, so it’s a fun way to learn new stitches and techniques. Join in and share your progress on the Facebook group or Ravelry group!
Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for our designs. I’ve chosen their 24/7 Cotton for all my washcloths and am really enjoying working with it. For more information about the event and links to the patterns, be sure to visit the main #KnittedKitchen post. I hope you’ll join in the fun!
