September 2018 KAL Scallop Stitch Cloth

September 1st 2018 KAL Scallop Stitch

Copyright © Janet Nogle 2018

Materials:

1 skein cotton yarn, I used bright Yellow, #6 US Knitting Needles.

Notes: SKP=Slip 1, knit 1, psso (pass slip stitch over); K2Tog=Knit 2 stitches together; YO=yarn over, make sure you complete the last YO before completing the K2Tog on row 5.

Your stitch counts will change depending on which row you are working so I have added at the end of each row how many stitches you should have after completion.

Cast on:   Multiple of 13 +2 (for small cloth: 26+2=28+8border=36) For larger cloth, add an addition 13 stitches.

Border:

Rows 1-2:   Knit across.

Pattern:

Row 1:        (RS) K5, *SKP, K9, K2Tog; repeat from * to last 5: end K5. 32 sts

Row 2:        (WS) K4, P28, K4. 32 sts
