Designer Knitting Pattern
It is soft, yet very durable, and can be machine washed and dried. Worsted weight CoBaSi+ provides just the right amount of weight, while the chevron and grid stitch patterns provide just the right amount of scrub. Plus, the elastic nylon helps your handcrafted creations keep their shape. It all adds up to a project that is good, clean fun.

Explore a whimsical use of the shadow technique in this table runner designer knitting pattern. Then a school of fish will appear and disappear.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The shadow knitting technique of this table runner is truly delightful, yet it is very easy - just knit and purl stitches. The fun part is watching a graphic design appear and disappear as you view the work coming off your needles. If viewed straight on the pattern is stripes. When viewed from an angle a school of little fish appears. When working the Caribe pattern the result is very whimsical.

This designer knitting pattern was created for CoBaSi DK. This very versatile yarn is machine washable yet holds its shape due to a bit of elastic nylon.

Discover James’ new woven knitting stitch and enjoy making beautiful placemats to refresh your dining table.

Designer Knitting Pattern
This pattern is the first to use James’ new woven knitting stitch pattern. It is a fun technique that can be easily mastered by a beginner or provide meditation for the experienced knitter. Alternating rows of 1 x 1 ribbing and a second color woven between slip stitches provides a surprising result. The finished placemats are reversible — identical on both sides. And, of course, they are washable.
