I've been wanting to get into writing my own patterns for a while. Usually I just use someone elses pattern or find one that I can change a little to my liking. I realized I had a single ball of beautiful rosy pink cotton yarn in my stash so I decided to experiment a little and what I came up with was my first completely origianl pattern.
1 ball any color Cotton Ease by Lion Brand (I even had leftovers)
US size 8 needles
Cable needle
CO 30
Knit first 6 rows to provide foundation border
Row 1: k4, p6, *k1, p1*, p6, k4
Row 2: k4, k6, *p1, k1*, k6, k4
Row 3: k4, p6, *k1, p1*, p6, k4
Row 4: k4, k6, *p1, k1*, k6, k4
Row 5: k4, p6, *k1, p1*, p6, k4
Row 6: k4, k6, *p1, k1*, k6, k4
Row 7: k4, p6, *k1, p1*, p6, k4
Row 8: k4, C6F, *p1, k1* C6F, k4
* repeat rows 1-8 until you feel it's long enough (mine was about 29 inches). work rows 1-7 to maintain symmetry with the beginning. work 6 rows of garter for border and bind off. now all you have to do is weave in your ends and find a pretty pin to secure it. enjoy!
