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
Cast On: Multiple of 5
Row 1 (RS): K1 *K3, P2 repeat from * until last 4 stitches, K4
Row 2 (WS): K1 *P3, K2 repeat from * until last 4 stitches, P3, K1
Repeat these two rows until desired length.
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!
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.
