I’m making a yoga mat bag for a friend of mine (a man) and have been following the pattern using the stockinette stitch. I’d like to start over using a more funky pattern 'cause I get a bit bored with stockinette over and over again. Because this is for a guy, I don’t want to anything “girly,” so I need something manly or unisex. I also started a scarf for our dept holiday grab bag using a stitch pattern I am really liking. It goes like this:
Row 1: Knit the first and last stitches. The rest is S1, K1, PSSO but knit into back of the loop before taking the stitch off the needle.
Row 2: P2TOG and purl into the first of the 2 stitches before taking off needle.
Then repeat the two rows until finished.
It makes a nifty zig-zag as you go along and I can’t figure out how to work in on circulars. Is there a way to make the purl row in knit? A way to get the stitches to slant to the right?
There was another nice pattern called Turkish, which essentially working a K2tog, yo for every row and again, I can’t figure out how to convert that to circular, if it even is possible. Any ideas??
Otherwise I’m going to be stuck continuing as I am (which doesn’t look bad, just a bit ordinary) or doing a seed stitch, moss, Irish moss, etc. Is there any hope???
Thanks!!!
