A quick last minute gift that can be wrapped with a bar of soap, a wash cloth. I've made these during the past few months for presents for friends. The pink one is knitted in 100% cotton Anchor Style Magicline Splash main colour pink with lots of specs of other colours. I think this looks like tuti fruit sweets. The yarn comes in lots of pretty colours and I had a whole bag in my loft!
The Pattern
Cast on 35 stitches using 4.5mm straight needles
Knit 3 rows
Knit 3, K1, P1 repeat to last 3 stitches, K3
continue until it measures 8 inches then K3 rows and cast off in knit.
That's it, nice and simple.
Another variation (knitted in Debbie Bliss Cotton DK) bright purple for a friends birthday and a joy to knit with. Knits up slightly larger than the other cotton yarn. For the next one I'm going to try 4mm needles.
The Pattern
Cast on 40 stitches using 4.5 straight needles
Knit 2 rows
K1, P1 repeat to end
P1, K1 repeat to end
That's it a 4 row pattern. Knit until piece measures 9inches, which should be the same size as the width. Wrap with a bar of soap. The free printable handknits tag can be downloaded here
