The Tribble
Designed by 1870 pearl It could be a bath scrubbie, a pot scrubber, a Frisbee or anything you like. \*\*\*\*\*\* Finished size: 4 inch circle. Scraps of dishcloth cotton. A whopping 2/3rds of an ounce or .63 oz to be exact! Needles: 2 US size 6 dpns or straights. You can use any needle size that you like. Sewing needle and scissors. Cast on 18 stitches. Make sure you have a six inch tail or longer. Commence stitch pattern. Row 1: KNIT Row 2: K1, SSK, K13, K1F& B, K1 Repeat these two rows until piece measures about 10 inches long. End on Row 1. Cast off.
Break yarn, leaving a 10 inch tail. Match up the diagonal ends and sew them together.
Sew up each side using a running stitch. On one side use the tail that you seamed the two edges together. On the other - the cast on tail.
When you have sewn both sides then pull the yarn really tight to close the circle. Pretend that you are strangling something. Weave in ends and cut the yarn. Repeat the process on the other side. Note: If you don't have enough yarn to knit a total of 10 inches, go for about 8 inches in length. Or you could try knitting with a variety of scraps, still aiming for about 10 inches. Weave in the tails before you sew up the side seams. This is a free pattern. Make as many copies as you like.
