It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Stitch Sampler Cloths in Java.
We’re very excited about Fibra Natura Java (219yds/100g), our new 100% hemp yarn. This is a perfect application for it too – it works great for home decor projects.
This is the first Free Pattern Friday we’ve done in this yarn, although we do have a few free patterns in Java that haven’t yet been highlighted. Have you seen the Crochet Baskets at right? Love ’em!
These cloths are designed to be basic samplers for those who are just getting their feet wet (no pun intended). The cloth in color 104 Pistachio, right, uses increases and decreases, but the other four are strictly knit and purl.
All are written and charted, so they do double duty for those who want to try out reading charts without the risk of losing a stitch in a big lace project. My reason for knitting them is simpler: the cloths are just plain pretty!
We hope you have a safe and happy Independence Day holiday.
Happy knitting!
The colors are beautiful.
Where can I purchase hemp yarn?
I have several balls of this next to me right now, and they’re beautifully bright. 🙂
You can click here to find a local retailer. If that doesn’t work for you, drop us a line and we’ll see if we can’t find a good source for you!
How much yardage does each of these cloths actually take? I have this yarn in stock and was thinking of putting together a few kits with this pattern. It looks like you could easily get a couple of cloths from one ball(?).
Oh, good idea! Each cloth takes approximately 30g, so you can get 3 cloths to a ball of yarn. We’re adding this info to the pattern!
Great — thank you!
