PROJECT 2: QUILT

Collection of Squares #8

Retwisted Taffy | Ice Storm | Knit-Purl Block | Reversible Square-in-a-Square | Mock Rib | Square #1

Note about Mock Rib: You can always knit the second row instead of purling it. The odd rows will then be the wrong side rather than the right side.

And that’s all the squares. I will now be planning to put the quilt together, and I have a good idea of how I’ll do it. I’m excited!

PROJECT 2: QUILT

Collection of Squares #7

Knotted Lattice | Simulated Seed | Frosted Edge | Checkers | Tower of Song | Shaker Rib

Knitting patterns under the cut.

Edit: I think that last one is the Shaker Rib. Let me know if it’s not it.

SIMULATED SEED

Cast on a multiple of 2 stitches

Row 1: Knit Row 2: *k1, p1; repeat from * until end Row 3: *k1b, k1; repeat from * until end Row 4: *p1, k1; repeat from * until end Row 5: *k1, k1b; repeat from * until end

Repeat rows 2 to 5 until desired length.

Note: You may want to not start or end a row with a k1b, depending on the edge you want. I recommend either replacing any first or last k1b by a k1, or maybe doing a garter stitch border.

CHECKERS

Cast on multiple of 10 stitches plus 8 stitches

Row 1: k8, *p2, k8; repeat from * until end Row 2: p8, *k2, p8; repeat from * until end

Repeat rows 1 & 2 five more times, for a total of 12 rows

Row 13: Purl Row 14: Knit

Repeat rows until desired length. It is recommended to bind off after the 12th row.

A note about the patterns above: I think I made these up as an experimentation of the effects of certain techniques (and thus it took me a little while to figure out how I had actually made them). Should they actually be an existing pattern (I looked, but I couldn’t find one that worked), please let me know.

It’s a really simple pattern, even though it’s long. It’s easy to catch on.

UNEVEN RIB

This one was devised by my grandmother just after she taught me to bind off for the first time, and that was so many years ago. Documenting these squares brings back so many memories!

I made this as a scarf quite some years ago, and I lost it. Oh well.

Row 13-24: *P4, K4 repeat from * to end

 I’ll be sharing the photos I took of the scarf I described above and the matching hat sometime in the future.

Collection of (Old) Squares #3

Slip Stitch Speckled Rib | Little Arrows | Variegated Stitch | Plowed Ribs | Diagonal Seed | Plowed Rows | Slip Rib | Elongated Chevron | Seed Stitch Windows

Slib Rib

Cast On: Unpaired number of stitches

Row 1: Purl

Row 2: K1, *Sl1 with yarn behind, K1 repeat from * until end

Repeat these two rows for pattern.

Note: this is not the only way to make this pattern, but one of them. And I couldn’t find a source, so I might have just done it to experiment with slip stitches because I do that.

Basketweave | Ribbed Cable | Reversible Diamonds and Lozenges | Daisies on Stockinette | Weaving | Crossed Arrow Cable | Reversible Triangles | Trace Moss Diamond | Zig Zag Stitch

Note about Reversible Triangles

I found the pattern I alluded to here! Yay! I also most likely messed up and skipped a row, which is why it looks kind of strange.

I love how most of these came from Carla’s blanket. That’s what I was doing at the time.
