A-Tishoo! A-Tishoo! Tissue Pocket Knitting Kit

 Approximate size – made to fit one of these small pocket size tissues packs.

This pattern is worked in Fisherman’s rib.

You will need: -

6mm knitting needles

Chunky yarn in main colour – about 12 gm

Small amount of Chunky for the contrast - about 8 gm

Large blunt needle to sew up

Button to fasten

 

 

• If you don’t have any chunky - use 2 strands of DK (which is equal to chunky weight) worked together.

 

Method:  With 6mm knitting needles and main colour, cast on 26 stitches.

Row 1: knit 1, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.

Repeat row 1: 3 more times.

Row 5: knit 1, purl 1 for 6 stitches, slip 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together, pick up the slipped stitch and bring it over your 2 stitches knitted together and off the needle, then purl 1, knit 1 to end of row.

Row 6: knit 1, purl 1 for 18 stitches, yarn is at the front of the needle – wrap the yarn around the needle (anti-clockwise) once – then knit 1, purl 1 to end of row.

Row 7: knit 1, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.  Work into the back of the loose loops carefully so that you don’t lose them – and when you get to the end of the row check that you have 26 stitches.

Row 8: knit 1, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.

Row 9: knit 1, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.

Row 10: knit 1, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.

Change to the pattern

Each time you work the knit stitch – put the point of the needle into the body of the stitch just UNDER the one on the needle – and work a knit stitch in the normal way – dropping both loops off the needle to complete the stitch.

 

This pattern consists of 2 rows in the main colour and 2 rows in the contrast colour – do not break the yarn in between the colour changes – just bring it up to the next start.

Row 1: knit one in stitch below, purl 1 as normal – repeat to end of row.

Row 2: knit 1 below, purl 1 – repeat to end of row. Do not break yarn

Row 3: Change colour – using the contrast colour - knit 1 below, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.

Row 4: using the contrast colour knit 1 below, purl 1 – repeat to end of row.  Do not break yarn.

Repeat these 4 pattern rows until you have worked about 6” from the cast on edge.

Cast off.

 

Take a step further -

-       Cast on more stitches (keep an even number for the pattern to work) – line with fabric to make a phone / I Pad / kindle holder.

-       Work more pattern sets to make longer – line with fabric to make a matching glasses case.

-       Add a long ‘I’ cord / ribbon / platted yarn to make a shoulder purse.

-       Work a 4 rows to each pattern for thicker stripes.

-       Great little fund raiser for school / church fates.

-       Go as wild as you like with colours.
