The next washcloth in my rainbow series is ready for Easter - a bunny! I edged it in green, but there are lots of spring pastels colors that would work just as well. For previous washcloths, see the heart, moon, and sun.
Materials:
*Knitpicks Cotlin in Swan and Sprout
* size 4 (3.5mm) knitting needles
*size E crochet hook
1. With Swan, cast on 40 stitches.

Been a long time since I knitted, but I just might enJOY trying this project because it's a quick one. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. I thought of you and your excellent fiber art when I posted a piece recently about Swedish Weaving.
ReplyDeleteBe aware there are several mistakes in this pattern!
ReplyDeleteStep #3, Should say, "For rows 8, 10, 12, and 14, knit 4 stitches, purl for 32 stitches and knit the last 4 stitches. Work rows 9, 11, and 13 in garter stitch." (Total of 7 rows ---- 7 above bunny/7 below bunny)
Step #4, Should say Rows 45, 47 -- knit 17, purl 2, knit 3, purl 2, knit 16 (As written, there's more than 40 stitches in the row!)
Thank you and corrected - got a little carried away with my knits and purls!
DeleteYou might want to correct the chart, too. One ear needs fixing.
