Slip Stitch Sampler Throw
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
16 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in slip st patterns. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
RT (Right Twist) K2tog and leave on left needle, then with right needle, go between the 2 sts and k the first st again. LT (Left Twist) Knit 2nd st on left needle through the back loop and leave on left needle. Then knit both the first and 2nd sts together through the back loop.
NOTES:
1. Throw is made from 6 Squares. All the Squares are worked the same, only the color combinations differ.
2. Each Square is worked in a log-cabin fashion; beg with a center square, then picking up sts for each 'Log'. Different slip st patterns are used for the center square and for each 'Log'.
3. Slip st patterns are worked with 2 colors. In each row, one of the colors is knit while the second color is slipped.
4. When slipping sts, with yarn in front (wyif) refers to the side of the work facing you as you work the row; with yarn in back (wyib) refers to the side of the work that is away from you as you work the row.
5. Completed squares are sewn together, following diagram, to make Throw.
6. You may wish to weave in the ends of each square as you complete it.
7. You may wish to line the Throw.

Slip Stitch Sampler Throw Reviewed by Ginny Pearson on 2012-05-08
I made this for our grandaughter's college dorm bed she has not seen it yet as I just finished it. It was a pleasure to work up and an absolute gorgeous final product, and it will be very warm I found a block where I knitted in her initials in a small square of stockinette stitch. Thank You Lionbrand
