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.  



 Hexagon Scrubby Pattern


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 37

    I didn't do any crafting what so ever this past week.  We had my parents and brother over for lunch on Sunday.  I cooked up some of the green beans from my garden that I had frozen.  They were very good.  We had a nice meal and it got one of the two turkeys out of the freezer.  When I was going to work Friday morning I noticed one of our neighbors had put a fridge or stand-up freezer out by the road with a free sign on it.  I called my husband immediately and told him where I had seen it.  He grabbed it right away.  It's an upright freezer from probably the 60s or 70s so it's solid.  We put it in the garage and moved the few things that were left in the "middle" chest to that one so the chest freezer could be defrosted and cleaned.  We're still waiting for the new one we ordered from Lowe's.  They know its been shipped but have no idea where it is.  At one point they thought it was in Pennsylvania; then they thoug...

YOP: Week 36

     I didn't get any crafting done this week.  I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap.  Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares.  Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well.  A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet.  My daughter commandeered a couple of them already.  I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom.  All in all it was a fun swap.  I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment.  I've got some ideas brewing for that one.      Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead.  About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess.  I know I talked about it.  It was my favorite boo...

YOP: Week 34

     I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap.  I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown.  I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time.  They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection.  They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much.  I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee.  I really wasn't expecting to find what I did.  I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart.  The Walmart fabric was acceptable.  Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them.  I finished the handknit earlier today.  I want to steam block it yet, ...
