Newish Knitter KAL - Ridged Mitered Stripes Set by Stacey Winklepleck

Instructor: Liz Daly
Description:
Our Newish Knitter KAL is for knitters who have finished Knit101 and Knit 102 and are wondering what to knit next. All of these patterns are great places to practice your stitches and learn how to read patterns. This KAL is also for more experienced knitters who want to socialize with others while knitting a project where you can knit and chat at the same time.
In May we are going to knit a retro-looking towel, the kind that could button over your oven door. I really love this pattern and the yarn and I hope that you do too. In this pattern you will learn how to knit a mitered square both using stitch markers or by reading your work. This towel has textured stripes and a buttonhole.
There is no charge for this virtual get-together, however, we ask that you purchase yarn from the store for this project. When you purchase your yarn write in the comments section that you would like to be added to the KAL! Don't worry if you can't make all of the sessions. We'd love to have you when you can make it.
Supplies:
- 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn (1 skein each of 2 contrasting colors). We are recommending Clean Cotton.
- US 8 circular or straight needles or size appropriate for gauge (gauge is very flexible for this project)
- A stitch marker
Homework: Download the free pattern from Ravelry.
Prerequisites: Be comfortable knitting and purling
