Hexagon Scrubby Pattern

Today I'm going to share a pattern for a small scrubby or coaster. The pattern is very simple and something I derived from the stitch pattern of a dishcloth I knit years ago.

Materials Needed:

Dishcloth Cotton (worsted weight non-mercerized cotton) I'm sure other yarns could be used for these depending on the end users needs.

Size US 6 needles or preferred needles for working with dishcloth cotton

Gauge is really not important.

Abbreviations:

K: knit

Sl: Slip as if to purl

W&T: slip next stich as if to purl, move working yarn from back to front of work. Turn work to opposite side. Your working yarn will now be in the back. Slip the stitch back to the right needle. You've just wrapped that stitch. Continue working in pattern.

Directions:

Cast on 10 stitches.

Row 1: (and all other odd rows) Knit.

Row 2: K1, *Sl1, K1* to last stitch. W&T last stitch on needle.

Row 3: Knit

Row 4: K2, *Sl1, K1* to 1 stitch before W&T (from previous row.) W&T next stitch.

Row 5: Knit

Row 6: K1, *Sl1, K1* to 1 stitch before W&T (from previous row.) W&T next stitch.

Row 7: Knit

Row 8: K2, *Sl1, K1* to 1 stitch before W&T (from previous row.) W&T next stitch.

Row 9: Knit.

Rows 10 through 19: Continue in the manner until all but the first stitch has been wrapped and turned.

Row 20: Knit across all stitches picking up the wraps as you come to them.

Row 21: Knit

Repeat these 21 rows 5 more times for a total of 6 wedges. Bind off all 10 stitches leaving an 8 to 10 inch tail. Whip stitch cast on edge to bind off edge. Cinch up center by working yarn through the edge stitch of each wedge and pulling tight. Weave in ends and enjoy.

I use mine as a contact case coaster. I plan to make a few more of these in different yarns and possibly different sizes. Feel free to play around with the pattern.

Until later. Happy crafting!

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

Year of Projects: Week 53; El Fin.

I thought I'd do a quick review of my Year of Projects. I started participating around week 5 so I'm summing up my year from that point to present. I have 24 project entries on Ravelry. (If I do several dishcloths back-to-back, I usually only make one project entry, so there are more than 24 individual finished items. Direct Link to Goal Post: YOP first post I finished: -3 pairs of fingerless mitts -2 pairs of mittens -2 pairs of socks -5 hats -2 cowls -2 baby blankets -16 dishcloths -1 potholder -1 shawl I have one sock that's going to be frogged and half of another dishcloth that's sitting around because I ran out of that colorway of yarn. I do have a few other WIPs still hanging about from prior to August of last year. (We're going to keep pretending they don't exist.) I made a simple little picture "movie" of my projects, enjoy: As far as my quickly thrown together list: I completed 3/5 of my projected projects......

YOP: Week 52

As the year comes to a close, I've been looking at my queue and starting to plan out a few projects for 2025. After having to cold sheep for the majority of this past year, I'm going into next year with some guidelines. When I purchase yarn, I really want to stick to purchasing for specific patterns. I took advantage of Miss Babs annual gratitude sale and purchased specifically for two patterns. I also want to continue to knit from stash whenever possible. I have paired up yarn with patterns for several and they've been moved up in my queue. I'll have more time, so I plan to participate in several swaps in 2025. I'll be getting yarn from these so I'm going to try to stick to swaps only for "unplanned" stash acquisition. I have several carry-over projects I didn't get to this year, which seems to be a theme every year. So tentatively this is my meager list for 2025: - Butterfly--Papillon with Urth Ya...
