Knitting without gauge
I like embossed knitting patterns, particularly leaves.
The pattern is from Mary Thomas’s Book of Knitting Patterns. It’s called the Garden Plot Square. Very dowdy name for such a nice pattern isn’t it?
There are leaves a plenty on it. I’m 4/5ths through the first square and 3/4 of the way through my second ball of Sugar ‘n Cream in Sage green. I’m using size 4 US cable needles.
The square once finished should measure 16 by 16-ish inches, there is a lot of room to squish or stretch. Which means that making one more panel (after this one is finished) I could cover a throw pillow, three more would make a pretty throw for a dog bed and 11 more would be a good child sized throw. At about 2 dollars a ball, the project it won’t turn out to be a terrible investment of time or money.
i really like the color of that yarn and the squishy factor looks awesome! what’s that pretty gray thing in the background?
