Thinking of the PNW, led to thinking of mushrooms - the climate is perfect for perfect mushrooms 😉
I cook with a lot of mushrooms; so, I designed my kitchen towel, based around a mushroom towel I had seen online:
This towel is worked using bobbins - and a couple textured sts.; but it is not as complicated as it appears to be. Your work will go smoother and quicker is you take the time to prepare the bobbins before they will be needed 👌
Materials: cotton yarn in following colors: MC = Pink, CC = Purple; Scrap Yarn to wrap around Yarn Bobbins = 10 ct./5 ct. wrapped with white & remaining 5 ct. bobbins wrapped individually with White, Beige, Maize, Gold, Red; #9 knitting needles; scissors; crochet hook #J; tapestry needle; large button
##MOD Mushroom Design Graph:
Terms used:
g st = knit every row
st. st. = stockinette stitch (1 K row = RS - 1 P row = WS)
k = knit
p = purl
MC = main color
CC = contrast color
EO = end off yarn
CO = cast on stitches
EA = each
inc = increase 1 st (make 2 sts in same st)
dec = decrease 1 st (work 2 sts together)
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
With CC & knitting needles, CO 71 sts & work 3 rows g st for hemline foundation.
Rows 4 thru 8: Work these rows in st. st.; drop CC & attach MC
Row 5: K
Row 6: P
Row 7: K 2, P next st, *K 3 sts, P 1* across row; end row with K 1.
Row 8: P; drop MC & attach CC
Rows 9 thru 12: Work these rows in st. st.
Row 13: K 4 sts in CC; then attach MC and knit across row to last 4 sts - work these sts in CC
Row 14 thru 16: Work these rows in st. st. … being sure to keep the end 4 sts EA towel side edge, purple.
Rows 17 thru 32 = Mushroom Pattern: Refer to mushroom pattern graph above, and work the pattern design in jacquard st. st.; you may also outline the mushrooms when the mushroom rows are completed - or outline them before you begin towel topper (whichever way is easier for you, do that 😊).
Rows 33 thru 60: Work these rows in st. st. - being sure to keep the end 4 sts EA towel side edge, purple.
Row 61 = Towel Topper Dec R: K 4 sts in CC; then begin decreases with MC as follows - *K 2 tog, K 3 tog* to last 4 sts; work these sts in CC & EO CC both towel end edges, slipping sts off knitting needle as they are worked . DO NOT CUT MC.
Row 62 (WS): Change from knitting needles to crochet hook and work in sc as follows: dec 1 st EA end until 7 sts remain.
Alternately work 1 row sc & 1 row dc, for 13 rows.
Sl st x3 sc; ch 6 and sl st in same sp; sl st to end. Turn.
Dc x12 in chain loop; EO.
Add a decorative loop edging of your choice (or leave plain).
Sew button in place and weave in loose ends.
MOD GARTER ST SQUARE DISHRAG:
Cast on 2 stitches.
Row 1: Knit 1-Inc 1 st in next st.
Row 2: Knit 1-Inc-knit across the row.
Row 3: Knit 2-Inc-knit across row.
Row 4: Repeat Row 3 until you have 50 stitches on the needle.
Row 5: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row. Repeat Row 5 until you have 3 stitches left on the needle; K 3 sts tog - EO off and weave in loose ends.
