Knitting Patterns Free: Kettleholder

-
Knitting patterns free: Kettleholder - Being worked in 'double fabric' stitch
the two pieces produce four thicknesses, thus giving ample protection to the
hand.
Materials -
- 1 oz. Beehive Double Knitting Wool.
- Three no.10 Celluloid Knitting Needles.
- A fine Bone Crochet Hook.
Cast on 56 stitches.
1st row - *K.1, bring the wool forward between the needles, slip the next stitch
as for purling, take the wool back between the needles and repeat from * to
the end of the row, ending with a slipped stitch.
Work 39 more rows like the 1st row.
There must be 56 stitches on the needle at the end of each row. Each alternate
stitch lies with the purled side towards the worker; if these purled stitches
be always slipped the work cannot go wrong.
To cast off, slip each alternate stitch on to one needle and the intervening
stitches on to a second needle.
* Knit together one stich from each needle, knit the next two stitches in the
same way, draw the first stitch over the second and repeat from * until all
the stitches are cast off.
Work a second piece exactly the same as the first, but, before casting off,
slip it over the first piece. Cast off and D.C. all round, putting a few extra
stitches at each corner to make the holder even and flat. Make a loop of chain
stitch at one corner and work over it in D.C.
