Summer Stream Scarf by Asami Kawa is a delicate lace scarf designed for lightweight summer knitting. Its combination of openwork, flowing vertical motifs and pointed lace edges creates an elegant fabric without the visual weight of a winter scarf.

The original pattern was published through Knitting Winterwren in 2009. It was historically available as a free digital pattern, but the authorized download is no longer available online.

Pattern Availability Update

Summer Stream Scarf was originally published as a free pattern by designer Asami Kawa. The original publication is now out of print, and the official pattern listing currently marks the digital pattern as discontinued and no longer available online.

We have preserved this page as a reference to the original design rather than directing readers to unauthorized copies of the discontinued pattern.

Summer Stream Scarf at a Glance

Designer: Asami Kawa

Published: July 2009

Original Publication: Knitting Winterwren

Project: Lace scarf

Original Yarn: Habu Textiles XS-43B 1/10 Non Twist Cotton Boucle

Needles: US 3 (3.25 mm)

Gauge: 28 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Finished Size: Approximately 8 × 68 inches

Construction: Worked flat in two pieces and grafted together

Current Status: Discontinued

About the Original Design

Summer Stream Scarf was designed as a lightweight cotton scarf for warmer weather. Instead of using one continuous piece of knitting, the scarf is made from two identical sections that are joined together.

This construction allows the decorative lace motifs and pointed ends to face correctly at both ends of the finished scarf.

Yarn and Lace

The original design used Habu Textiles cotton boucle held double. The pattern lists approximately 506–528 yards (463–483 m), with the strands held together while knitting.

The photographs show why a lightweight yarn works particularly well for this design: the open sections remain airy while the solid lace motifs retain enough definition to stand out after blocking.

Lace Knitting Tip

Blocking is especially important for lace projects. The fabric may look compressed while it is still on the needles; careful blocking helps open the eyelets and reveal the shape of the lace motifs and decorative edges.

What Happened to the Free Pattern?

Summer Stream Scarf was genuinely distributed as a free pattern in the past. However, free availability is not necessarily permanent.

The original Knitting Winterwren publication is now out of print, and the current pattern record states that the digital pattern is no longer available online.

You may still encounter copies of the old PDF on file-sharing sites. Amazing Knitting does not link to those copies because we cannot verify that they are being distributed with the designer's authorization.

Cable Knit Leggings for Girls - Pattern Guide

Photos above © tarantino

These cable knit leggings for girls combine the comfort of knitted pants with a decorative cable panel running down the outside of each leg.

The design is especially attractive because most of the garment remains relatively simple, allowing the long cable motif to become the main visual feature.

Pattern Availability Update

This design appeared in the older Amazing Knitting archive. During our latest review, we could not verify a current authorized source for the exact original knitting pattern shown in these photographs.

We are therefore preserving the page as a design and project guide rather than linking to an unofficial copy or attempting to reconstruct the original instructions from the photographs.

Design at a Glance

Project: Children's knitted leggings / pants

Main Feature: Long cable panels along the legs

Waist: Deep ribbed waistband

Ankles: Ribbed cuffs

Style: Fitted, warm children's knitwear

Current Status: Exact authorized pattern source unverified

What Makes These Knitted Leggings Special?

The strongest design feature is the cable running vertically along each leg. It adds texture and visual interest without covering the entire garment in complicated stitchwork.

The photographs also show how effectively the same design works in different colors. A neutral shade emphasizes the cable shadows, while the pink version gives the leggings a softer children's-wear look.

Construction Details to Look For

A good pattern for knitted leggings needs more than an attractive stitch motif. Fit is particularly important because the garment must allow comfortable movement through the hips, knees and legs.

When choosing a similar authorized pattern, check the finished measurements, gauge and waistband construction carefully. The original photographs suggest a generous ribbed waist and matching ribbed ankle cuffs, both useful features in children's knitted pants.

Knitting Tip

Cable panels can pull knitted fabric inward compared with plain stockinette. For a fitted garment such as leggings, always use the gauge and finished measurements supplied by the pattern rather than estimating the size from the photographs.

Why We Don't Reconstruct the Pattern

A photograph can help identify design features, but it cannot reliably provide the original stitch counts, shaping, grading or cable chart. Reconstructing those instructions would also risk reproducing a designer's work without authorization.

If we locate the original designer or another authorized publication of this exact pattern, this page can be updated with the verified source.

Warm and Cozy Collar Scarf - Knitting Pattern Guide

Photo above © Cora Cooks

This Warm and Cozy Collar Scarf is a compact knitted neckwarmer with a simple rustic look. Its thick garter-stitch fabric, overlapping front and two large buttons create a cozy accessory without the long ends of a traditional scarf.

If this particular design brought you here, this guide will help you understand its construction and the features to look for in a similar knitting pattern.

Pattern Availability Update

This design appeared in the older Amazing Knitting archive, but during our latest review we could not verify a current authorized source for the exact original pattern shown in the photograph.

Rather than link to an unofficial copy or reconstruct someone else's instructions, we have preserved this page as a project guide.

Collar Scarf at a Glance

Project: Collar scarf / neckwarmer

Main Texture: Garter stitch

Closure: Two buttons

Style: Chunky, warm and compact

Current Status: Exact authorized pattern source unverified

Why This Design Works

The appeal of this neckwarmer comes from its simplicity. Thick yarn and garter stitch create a soft, substantial fabric, while the overlapping ends allow the collar to sit closely around the neck.

The two large buttons are both practical and decorative, giving the otherwise simple knitted fabric a distinctive finished look.

A Good Project Style for Newer Knitters

Buttoned collar scarves are useful projects for practicing basic knitting because they can be much smaller than full-length scarves. Garter stitch also creates a textured fabric without requiring complicated stitch combinations.

If you make a similar design from another pattern, pay attention to the finished neck circumference and button placement. Those details determine how comfortably the collar overlaps and sits around the neck.

Yarn Tip

A soft bulky yarn is well suited to this type of project because the fabric will be worn directly against the neck. Make a small swatch first if the yarn feels rough or unusually stiff.

Trinity Stitch (Raspberry Stitch) - Knitting Guide

Photo above © Curious

Photo above © Curious

Trinity Stitch, also known as Raspberry Stitch or Blackberry Stitch, is a beautifully textured knitting stitch that creates clusters of small raised bumps across the fabric.

The berry-like texture looks intricate, but it is built from a short repeating sequence of increases and decreases.

What Is Trinity Stitch?

Trinity Stitch creates its distinctive texture by increasing several stitches from one stitch and balancing that increase with a decrease that works several stitches together.

As the sequence is repeated and offset, the little clusters form the characteristic raspberry-like surface seen in the original sample above.

Trinity Stitch at a Glance

Also Known As: Raspberry Stitch, Blackberry Stitch

Texture: Raised, clustered and berry-like

Typical Repeat: 4 rows

Key Techniques: Multiple stitches worked into one stitch and purling stitches together

Good For: Scarves, cowls, blankets, pillows, washcloths and textured panels

How the Texture Is Created

The classic version combines two opposite movements: a three-stitch increase worked into one stitch and a purl-three-together (p3tog) decrease.

Alternating their positions creates the staggered clusters that give Trinity Stitch its distinctive appearance.

Knitting Tip

If p3tog feels difficult, avoid working with overly tight tension. Sharp needle tips can also make it easier to enter all three stitches at once.

Trinity, Raspberry or Blackberry Stitch?

Don't be surprised to see different names in knitting books and tutorials. Trinity Stitch, Raspberry Stitch and Blackberry Stitch are commonly used for this same general textured stitch family.

You may also find small variations in stitch multiples, edge stitches or the order in which the increase and decrease are worked. Always follow the version used by the specific project you are knitting.

See a Step-by-Step Tutorial

For knitters who prefer to see the technique demonstrated, Darn Good Yarn has a free Raspberry Stitch tutorial showing how the textured stitch is formed.

Varius Scarf by Unnur Eva Arnarsdóttir - Knitting Pattern

Photo above © becca512

Varius by Unnur Eva Arnarsdóttir is a simple textured knitted scarf designed to make variegated yarn the star of the project. Its small repeating texture breaks up the colors beautifully, creating a fabric that looks much more intricate than the straightforward scarf shape suggests.

The original Varius pattern is still available directly from the designer through Ravelry, although it is currently a paid pattern.

Pattern Availability Update

Varius is currently available as a paid pattern from Unnur Eva Arnarsdóttir's official Ravelry store.

If you found an older reference describing Varius as free, please note that pattern availability can change over time. Use the official listing below for the current price and availability.

Varius Scarf at a Glance

Designer: Unnur Eva Arnarsdóttir

Published by: Knitwear by Unneva

Project: Scarf

Yarn Weight: Aran

Suggested Yarn: Araucania Yarns Aysen

Needles: US 10 (6 mm)

Languages: English and Icelandic

Current Availability: Paid pattern

Why Varius Works So Well With Variegated Yarn

The designer created Varius specifically while looking for a texture that would complement variegated yarn rather than compete with it. The result is a compact repeating surface that allows frequent color changes to remain visible throughout the scarf.

This makes the design particularly interesting for skeins that look beautiful on their own but can become visually busy in complicated cables or lace.

Original Yarn

The original project recommends Araucania Yarns Aysen, an Aran-weight blend of merino wool, alpaca and silk.

The pattern is not limited to that yarn, however. The designer specifically notes that different types of yarn can be used, making Varius a useful project for experimenting with color and texture.

Herringbone Knit Scarf by Originally Lovely - Pattern Guide

Photos above © Originally Lovely

This Herringbone Knit Scarf by Kaitlin Blasing of Originally Lovely is a beautifully textured scarf built around the distinctive woven look of herringbone knitting.

The soft gray yarn in the original project makes the diagonal texture especially easy to see, while the simple rectangular shape keeps the focus on learning and repeating the stitch pattern.

Pattern Availability Update

This scarf was originally published as a free knitting pattern and tutorial by Originally Lovely. During our latest archive review, however, we could not verify a currently available authorized page for the exact original pattern.

For that reason, we are preserving this page as a project guide rather than linking to an unofficial copy or reproducing the original instructions.

Herringbone Knit Scarf at a Glance

Designer: Kaitlin Blasing / Originally Lovely

Project: Knitted scarf

Main Texture: Herringbone stitch

Original Yarn: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice

Original Color: Silver Heather

Needles: US 13

Construction: Worked flat

Current Status: Original authorized source unverified

Why Herringbone Works So Well for a Scarf

Herringbone knitting creates a dense fabric with diagonal stitches that resemble woven cloth. On a scarf, the long uninterrupted surface gives the texture plenty of room to become the main visual feature.

The original project was designed as a long scarf, approximately six feet or to the knitter's preferred length.

Understanding the Herringbone Stitch

Herringbone is a family of knitting techniques rather than one single universal stitch pattern. Different methods can produce slightly different density, drape and diagonal definition.

If this scarf inspired you to learn the technique, start with our educational guide:

Although we could not confirm the current authorized source for the exact Originally Lovely scarf, you can still make this style using a currently available free pattern from a verified publisher.

Mini Herringbone Scarf by Purl Soho

Purl Soho offers a free Mini Herringbone Scarf pattern with a detailed tutorial. It is worked flat and creates the same characteristic woven-looking herringbone texture.

View the Free Purl Soho Pattern →

Choosing Yarn for a Similar Scarf

Herringbone texture shows most clearly in a smooth yarn with good stitch definition. Solid and lightly heathered colors are especially effective because they allow the diagonal structure to remain visible.

Herringbone fabrics can also be denser than ordinary stockinette, so making a swatch before committing to a full scarf is particularly useful.

Archive Note

We do not replace a missing designer page with an unauthorized copy of the pattern. When the original source cannot be verified, Amazing Knitting preserves the project information and points readers toward legitimate alternatives that are currently available.

Sandhills Basket - Free Knitting Pattern

Photo above © Winnie Marie Designs

Photo above © Winnie Marie Designs

Sandhills Basket by Winnie Marie Designs is a chunky knitted storage basket with a wonderfully substantial handmade look. Designed with extremely thick material and oversized needles, it creates a soft and flexible basket with enough structure for practical storage.

The original Sandhills Basket pattern is still available free, making this a great project if you want to explore knitting beyond garments, blankets and accessories.

✓ Free Pattern Available

Sandhills Basket is currently available as a free knitting pattern through the designer's official Ravelry listing.

Sandhills Basket at a Glance

Designer: Winnie Marie Designs

Craft: Knitting

Category: Storage basket / container

Yarn Weight: Jumbo

Needles: US 50 (25 mm) circular needles

Gauge: 2.5 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Construction: Bottom-up, worked in the round

Sizes: Small and Large

Availability: Free pattern

Finished Basket Sizes

The pattern includes two sizes, so you can make a smaller catch-all basket or a much larger storage basket.

• Small: approximately 32 inches (81 cm) circumference, 12 inches (30.5 cm) diameter and 10 inches (25.5 cm) high.
• Large: approximately 47 inches (119 cm) circumference, 15 inches (38 cm) diameter and 13 inches (33 cm) high.

What Makes the Sandhills Basket Different?

One of the most interesting things about this design is the material. Instead of relying only on conventional knitting yarn, the original baskets use thick cotton upholstery piping.

That substantial material creates the oversized stitches visible in the photographs and gives the finished basket a soft but useful structure.

The designer also notes that the idea can be adapted using jumbo yarn, two strands of super-bulky yarn held together, or suitable upholstery cording.

How Is the Basket Constructed?

Sandhills Basket begins with a circular base. The original design uses smaller cording for the base, which is finished before the thicker sides of the basket are worked.

The body is then worked in the round with much larger material. This creates the dramatic vertical stitches that give the basket its recognizable chunky appearance.

The designer even provides flexibility in how the project can be made: the body can be worked using very large circular knitting needles or hand-knitted without needles.

Working With Jumbo Materials

This is not ordinary lightweight knitting. The original pattern uses US 50 (25 mm) needles, and working with thick upholstery cording can require noticeably more effort from your hands than regular yarn.

Take breaks when needed rather than trying to complete large sections in one sitting. The designer specifically notes that the heavy material can be challenging to work with.

Useful Idea

The pattern is adaptable, so once you understand the basic construction, you can experiment with the basket dimensions and materials to create storage for yarn, blankets, craft supplies or everyday household items.

Pull Gaspard Baby Sweater - Knitting Pattern

Photo above © Christine Rouvillé

Pull Gaspard by Christine Rouvillé is a distinctive baby and toddler sweater with a cozy hood, short sleeves and a large front pocket. Its unusual construction and simple textured details give it a modern look while keeping the finished garment practical for layering.

The original pattern is still available from the designer, although it is currently sold as a paid knitting pattern.

Pattern Availability Update

Pull Gaspard is currently available as a paid pattern for €4.00 EUR through Christine Rouvillé's Ravelry store. If you were looking for the original design, the authorized pattern is still available.

Looking specifically for a free baby sweater? Keep reading for free alternatives from the Amazing Knitting archive.

Pull Gaspard at a Glance

Designer: Christine Rouvillé

Craft: Knitting

Category: Baby / toddler pullover

Sizes: 6, 12, 18 and 24 months

Yarn Weight: DK

Suggested Yarn: Graine de laine Physalis

Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm)

Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches

Yardage: Approximately 393–457 yards (359–418 m)

Availability: Paid pattern

What Makes Pull Gaspard Special?

Pull Gaspard is immediately recognizable because it does not look like a conventional baby pullover. The large hood frames the neckline while the front pocket creates a strong geometric detail across the lower body.

Garter-stitch sections contrast with the smoother main fabric, adding definition without relying on complicated colorwork.

It is also designed as a layering piece, with short sleeves that allow it to be worn comfortably over another garment.

Flat or In the Round

An especially useful feature of the current pattern is the choice of construction method. Christine Rouvillé updated Pull Gaspard so the pattern now includes instructions for knitting it flat or in the round.

This gives knitters more flexibility to choose the construction method they prefer.

Yarn and Sizing

The original pattern calls for DK-weight Graine de laine Physalis. The designer indicates that two skeins are used for all listed sizes.

If substituting another DK yarn, matching the pattern gauge is more important than matching the original yarn exactly, particularly for a fitted baby or toddler garment.

Newborn Booties - Free Pattern

Photo above © KnotSewPrisca

Looking for a sweet and practical free newborn baby booties knitting pattern? These Newborn Booties by Priscillia Uloho are a lovely small knitting project designed for babies from newborn size through approximately 0–6 months.

The booties are worked flat and seamed, making them a simple project for knitters who enjoy traditional construction. They are also a versatile unisex design that can be made in almost any color for a baby boy or girl.

Newborn Booties Pattern at a Glance

Pattern: Newborn Booties

Designer: Priscillia Uloho

Craft: Knitting

Category: Baby Booties

Construction: Worked flat and seamed

Yarn Weight: DK weight

Needle Sizes: US 2 / 2.75 mm and US 3 / 3.25 mm

Sizes: Newborn and 0–6 months

Language: English

About the Newborn Booties

Baby booties are one of those small knitting projects that are both useful and satisfying to make. This design by Priscillia Uloho has a simple, classic shape and is suitable for either a baby boy or baby girl depending on the yarn color you choose.

Because the booties are worked flat, you do not need to knit the entire project in the round. After the knitting is complete, the pieces are seamed to create the finished bootie. This style of construction can be especially approachable for knitters who are more comfortable using straight needles.

Sizes Included

The pattern includes two baby sizes:

• Newborn
• 0–6 months

Baby sizing can vary, so it is always a good idea to check the designer's original pattern notes before you begin, especially if you are making the booties as a gift.

Yarn for These Baby Booties

The pattern is designed for DK-weight yarn. This yarn weight is a practical choice for baby accessories because it creates a fabric that is warm without being excessively bulky.

Since baby booties are a small project, they can also be a useful way to use leftover DK yarn from another baby knitting project, provided you have enough of the same yarn to complete the pair.

Needles

The pattern lists two needle sizes:

• US 2 / 2.75 mm
• US 3 / 3.25 mm

Always follow the designer's original instructions for when each needle size is used. If your knitting tension differs from the pattern, your finished booties may also differ in size.

Why This Is a Great Small Knitting Project

Newborn booties are ideal when you want a project that is much smaller than a sweater or blanket. They can be a satisfying choice for gift knitting, baby showers, or simply practicing your knitting skills on a compact project.

The simple unisex style also makes this pattern easy to personalize. Soft neutrals, traditional baby colors, or brighter modern shades can all give the same pattern a very different look.

Is This Newborn Booties Pattern Free?

Yes. The Newborn Booties pattern by Priscillia Uloho is currently available as a free knitting pattern.

The designer notes that finished projects may be used as you wish, but the pattern itself should not be sold. Please respect the designer's original copyright and terms of use.

Chunky Knit Throw Pillow Set - Pattern Guide

Photos above © Destiny - Knifty Knittings

Chunky knitted pillows are an easy way to bring handmade texture into a living room or bedroom. This pillow collection combines several bold stitch textures in neutral shades, including a beautiful herringbone-style design that stands out especially well in bulky yarn.

If these pillows brought you here, this guide will help you understand the designs, choose suitable materials and look for a reliable pattern with a similar style.

Pattern Availability Update

This pillow set was previously shared online as a knitting pattern resource. During our latest review, however, we could not verify a current authorized free source for the exact original set shown here.

We have therefore preserved this page as a project and design guide rather than reproducing or reconstructing the missing instructions.

About the Chunky Knit Pillow Set

What makes this collection attractive is the combination of simple shapes with strong knitted texture. A square pillow cover is a relatively straightforward project, so the stitch pattern becomes the main design feature.

The cream pillow shown prominently in the original photographs has a distinctive herringbone-style surface. The surrounding pillows demonstrate how dramatically a different stitch texture can change the appearance of the same basic home-decor project.

Design at a Glance

Project: Knitted throw pillow covers

Style: Chunky, textured home decor

Construction: Square pillow-cover format

Featured Texture: Herringbone-style knitting

Best Yarn Look: Bulky yarn with good stitch definition

Current Status: Exact authorized free source unverified

Why Chunky Yarn Works So Well for Pillows

Bulky yarn exaggerates stitch definition, which is especially useful when the texture is the main feature of the project. Raised stitches, ribs and herringbone-style patterns become much more visible than they would be in a very fine yarn.

Chunkier yarn can also make a pillow cover a relatively quick home-decor project compared with a large blanket or garment.

About the Herringbone Texture

Herringbone knitting is recognizable by its diagonal, interlocking appearance. There is not just one universal herringbone knitting method; several constructions can produce fabrics with a similar woven-looking effect.

If you would like to understand the technique before choosing a pillow pattern, see our herringbone knitting guide:

Explore the Herringbone Knitting Guide →

Choosing Yarn for a Knitted Pillow

For a pillow where texture is the main attraction, look for a smooth yarn that allows individual stitches to remain visible. Very fuzzy yarns can hide the definition of herringbone, cables and other dimensional stitch patterns.

Neutral colors such as cream, gray and natural wool shades work particularly well for textured knitting because light and shadow make the stitch structure more noticeable.

Making a Similar Chunky Pillow

Since we could not verify the exact original pattern, we do not recommend trying to reconstruct it from the photographs alone. Instead, look for an authorized pillow-cover pattern designed for the size of insert you plan to use.

When comparing similar patterns, check the finished dimensions, yarn weight and gauge. Pillow covers usually look best when they fit the insert closely rather than hanging loosely around it.

Helpful Tip

Buy your pillow insert before finalizing the cover dimensions. That gives you a real measurement to work toward and makes it much easier to achieve a neat, full-looking finished pillow.

Raglan Knit Long Cable Cardigan - Pattern Guide

Photos above © Phalaenopsis

Photos above © Phalaenopsis

This elegant gray cardigan combines a long open-front silhouette with bold cable panels running around the neckline and down both front edges. The result is a classic knitted coat-style cardigan with beautiful vertical detail.

If this design brought you here, this guide will help you identify its main construction features and understand what to look for when choosing a similar cardigan pattern.

Pattern Availability Update

This cardigan was previously shared online through a knitting tutorial, but we could not verify a current authorized source for the exact original free pattern.

For that reason, Amazing Knitting does not reproduce or reconstruct the missing pattern instructions. The design is preserved here as a pattern reference and inspiration guide.

About This Long Cable Cardigan

The most distinctive feature of this cardigan is the wide cable treatment around the open front. Rather than using cables across the entire garment, the design keeps the body comparatively simple and lets the heavily textured front bands become the focal point.

The original description associated with the project identifies it as a top-down raglan cardigan combining cable edging with stockinette-stitch panels.

Design at a Glance

Style: Women's long open-front cardigan

Construction: Top-down raglan style

Main Fabric: Stockinette stitch

Feature: Wide textured cable front edging

Silhouette: Long, gently shaped open front

Current Pattern Status: Exact authorized source unverified

What Makes This Cardigan Stand Out?

The contrast between smooth stockinette and substantial cables gives the cardigan its strong visual character. The vertical cable bands also draw the eye down the garment, which works particularly well with the longer silhouette.

The same cable treatment continues around the neckline, creating an integrated decorative border instead of a separate traditional collar.

The photographed version also shows coordinated cable details at the lower edges and cuffs, tying the different parts of the garment together.

Understanding the Raglan Construction

A top-down raglan cardigan begins around the neckline and grows through increases that shape the upper body and sleeves. One advantage of this construction is that the length of the body can often be adjusted more easily than with a garment assembled from several separately knitted pieces.

For a long cardigan like this, yarn choice and fabric drape are especially important. A finished garment contains considerably more knitted fabric than a short cardigan, so a very heavy yarn can affect how the cardigan hangs when worn.

Looking for a Similar Pattern?

Because the exact original pattern source can no longer be verified, look for patterns that combine several of these characteristics:

• top-down raglan construction;
• an open cardigan front;
• stockinette or another simple main fabric;
• prominent vertical cable bands;
• an adjustable hip or knee-length body.

These features will get you much closer to the appearance of the photographed cardigan than searching only for a generic cable sweater.

A Free Cardigan Alternative

If having a currently available free pattern is more important than matching the cable details exactly, take a look at the Harvest Cardigan by Tin Can Knits.

Harvest does not duplicate this cable design, but it offers a legitimate free cardigan project with top-down construction and a comfortable open-front style.

What Makes the Daisy Stitch Special?

Daisy stitch creates small gathered clusters across the fabric, giving this washcloth its distinctive raised texture. The result looks much more decorative than plain stockinette or garter stitch while still working beautifully for a small practical project.

One useful tip from the designer is to avoid knitting too tightly when working the daisy stitch. A little flexibility in the stitches makes working the textured clusters much easier.

Choosing Yarn for Your Washcloth

The original project uses worsted-weight 100% cotton yarn. Cotton is an excellent choice for washcloths and dishcloths because it is absorbent, washable and gives textured stitches good definition.

Lynn used Lily Sugar'n Cream for the original project, but another suitable worsted-weight cotton can be substituted. Check your gauge if you want to stay close to the original finished dimensions.

A Quick Handmade Gift

Small cotton washcloths are useful projects when you want something satisfying without committing to a sweater or blanket. They are also practical for using individual balls of cotton yarn.

Knit several in coordinating colors and combine them with handmade soap or other bath items for a simple handmade gift set.

Knitting Tip

If the daisy clusters feel difficult to work, check your tension. Keeping the stitches comfortably relaxed makes it easier to work multiple stitches together.
