Most of you know by now that I am a great fan of Michelle Hunter. I found this coffee cup wrap on her site so I worked it up and I thought I would share it with you.
If you are a sock knitter or a shawl knitter I'm sure that you have stash fingering/sock weight yarn that you love and don't like it hanging around, you know it's too beautiful not use for something...well this is the thing. Whether you partake in coffee or tea you will enjoy keeping your fingers from getting a little too warm and yet keeping your drink from getting cold!
Materials: Approx. 35 yds of fingering/sock yarn and #2 DPN needles or method of choice.
Ga. approx 7sts/1" Stst. Size: Approx 3"H.
Abbreviations: K2toDrg = knit 2 together
RT = (Right Twist) knit 2 sts together, then without taking sts off the left hand needle, reknit the first st and remove both sts from the left hand needle.
Pattern:
CO 60 sts (try using a German Twisted for a stretchy cast on)
Divide sts with a multiple of 6 on your needles
Join in the round and take care not to twist the stitches.
Double Mock Cable Rib: Multiple of 6 stitches
Round 1: *K4, P2; repeat from * to the end of the rnd.
Round 2: *RT twice, P2; repeat from the * to the end of the rnd.
Round 3: *K4, P2; repeat from the * to the end of the rnd
Round 4: *K1,RT,K1,P2; repeat from the * to the end of the rnd.
Work the Double Mock Cable Rib (above) for 32 rounds (8 repeats). To modify add and subtract after the 4th round of the pattern repeat.
Drink Responsibly!
and as Michelle Hunter always says " Happy Knitting!"
