If you are new to color knitting, please see the FAQ about this pattern for help
Remember this guy? Well I've gotten quite a few requests for the pattern. Hopefully yours will look better than mine. But the theory is if you follow these basic directions, you'll be able to have a rebellious dishrag of yer very own.The link to the Skull chart I used to make this pattern can be found here (I used the large one).
Please let me know if you find any errors in the pattern as I am remembering it in retrospect and may have gotten something wrong.
Skully Dish Rag

Bind off and weave in ends

ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love this.. because my boyfriends mother ((who taught me how to knitt, even though all she knows is how to straight knit scarves)).. believes she's the princess of all the world.. and love pirates. .and has taken on the name pirate princess .. .
I know i know..
what a mother in law she'll make someday .. lol
but to each their own..
I was wondering since i'm such a novice knitter.. if you could help me with a few things on this pattern. First off i've never changed colors before.. do i just cut and tie off the colors as they come.. ? And would it be possible if i used the grid you have to add a crown on somehow?
You're a superstar when it comes to knitting so excuse my lamn and prolly stupid questions..
greatfully,
julia

Hi Carissa: Just found this pattern through your Ravelry site. My question is the same as Julia's. Might you provide me with an explanation of how to deal with changing colors? Thanks :)
