Cast Off Twirl

In honour of finally getting the cast off my arm, I've designed a new cloth. I've called it
the "Cast Off Twirl", which should speak for itself!

Yay, I can knit again! Although I need to take it slower, or the pain comes back.
Apparently I now have tendonitis, whatever that is...

Anyway, here it is, a new pattern from the sew-funky brain!

CAST OFF TWIRL

Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 4.5 mm needles. I used I used Anchor
Magiclene for this cloth, which gave it a lovely effect. I also made it up by using the
various cotton oddments that I have in my stash. It's a great way to use them all up!

Instructions:
Cast on 15 stitches.
This cloth is made up of 10 wedges, all exactly the same. When you finish knitting a
wedge, you just carry on knitting the next one. Then the edge is sewn together, the
threads are sewn in and the cloth is complete. :)

Every wedge:
Row 1 & all odd rows: K.
Row 2: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
Row 12: K3, YO, K2tog, K3, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.
Row 14: Cast off 6 sts, K to end of row.

Repeat this wedge 9 more times, and then join the seams. :)
