One ball of cotton yarn, size 7 needles Cast on 43 Stitches, K = knit, p = purl,
k2tog = knit 2 together, yo = yarn over. X means to repeat the stitches in parentheses as many times as the number before the x.
Stitches in [ ] are border stitches, you may substitute the border of your choice.
This pattern is a tiny bit wider and shorter than my usual patterns.
You will always have 43 stitches every row. The stitch count does not change from row to row. Yarn overs (yo) count as a stitch.

Flower Power, Free

I hope you enjoy the free pattern for Flower Power. I used to ride the schoolbus to school with a girl that every day, even in winter, would bring the bus driver a flower. Every day, as she handed him the flower, she would say Flower Power. I don't remember anything else about her, not even her name, but she was the inspiration for this pattern.

Bag Minder

Knit the Bag Minder on double points or two circular needles size 10 1/2 using your choice of worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart.

Free PDF here. Cast on 30 stitches, join and knit in the round for 3 inches. Begin pattern stitch: Row 1) k1, yotwice across row Row 2) knit the k1 and the first yo together, drop the second yo without doing anything else to it Repeat these two rows for as long as you like. Mine is 12 inches. Do top cuff by knitting every stitch for 3 inches. Bind off all but 4 stitches and make i-cord with them for the length you like. I made mine long enough to slip over a doorknob. When i-cord is as long as you like cut the yarn leaving an 8 inch tail and pass the tail through the stitches of the i-cord and then use the tail to sew it to the very beginning of the i-cord, making a loop. That's it. Mine is stuffed with 20 bags for the picture. The mesh is much prettier than the picture shows. Stuff the bags in and remove them through either end.

Scrubbles

Free PDF here.

Scrubbles

Cast on twenty stitches with acrylic yarn. (these are for scrubbing and rather thick so the acrylic is the better fiber choice as cotton would never get dry)
Knit in the front and back of each stitch to make forty stitches.
Knit using desired stitch pattern till piece is four inches long.
Knit two stitches together across to make twenty stitches.
Cut yarn, leaving a good twelve inches of tail.
Thread a needle with the tail and pass it through all twenty stitches on the knitting needle. Cinch it up tight. I make a knot here so the cinched stitches don't slip.
Still using the tail yarn, sew up the side seam. I then tie a knot to the cast on tail.
thread the needle and yarn through the cast on stitches and pull up tight. Tie to cast on tail again.
Poke needle all the way through the middle till it comes out the other side. Move it over a stitch or so and theread it back to the side it started on. Tie it again to the cast on tail and weave in both ends.
This makes a round scrubbie about four inches across for scrubbing up the stuck on stuff on your dishes. It is not a washcloth and is not meant to be absorbent.

The Scrubbles on top was made doing garter stitch.
The Scrubbles on the bottom is k1, k2tog, yo across, ending k1.
Experiment with different stitch patterns and share what you come up with.

More Scrubbles

The top one is seed stitch. If you make one in seed stitch do the increase row as k1, then kfb for the rest of the stitches to give you a count of 39. Then you can k1, p1 on every row without having to think about it.

The bottom one is garter stitch in two colors. Do the cast on row and the increase row with color one and the two rows with color two, two rows with color one, etc. Finish with two rows of color one, then the decrease row also with color one. Carry the unused yarn up the side and don't cut till the end.

I originally wrote this pattern in response to the shooting at Virginia Tech. I think it is equally appropriate for remembering the shooting at Northern Illinois University.
