| Sample knit with worsted weight yarn, US size 6 needles |
Since this is stockinette based, the edges do curl; depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to consider adding a border to help it lay flat. You may also know this stitch as Cocoon Stitch.
Multiple of 6 + 3
MT = make tail --- to make the tail:
- k1, turn work
- using the knitted cast on, cast on 5 sts, then bind off the same 5 sts
- wyif, slip first st on right needle back to left needle, turn work
Row 1 (RS): knit
Row 2: purl
Row 3: *k1, MT, k4; rep from* to last 3 sts, k1, MT, k1
Row 4: purl
Row 5: knit
Row 6: purl
Row 7: *k4, MT, k1; rep from * to last 3 sts, k3
Row 8: purl
Repeat these 8 rows for the pattern.
Happy Knitting!
If I was making a rug for a cat, could I make the tails go different directions on both ends? I can see them playing with these little tails and having so much fun! Think I'll also try it on a baby hat. So cute. Thanks!
