The Loom Knit C2C Eyelet Square is an Easy Project!

Inside: Free pattern for the loom knit C2C Eyelet Square including written instructions and fully-captioned tutorial videos.

This light and lacy C2C Eyelet Square adds a decorative design to the classic Grandma’s Favorite Dishcloth pattern.  This easy corner to corner knit pattern includes evenly spaced eyelets throughout the center.

This is a great design to make as a washcloth for a spa gift set. But I created it as a component for a bigger project. But more about that later…

This pattern includes detailed written instructions and links to fully captioned tutorial videos for both right and left handed loom knitters.

GAUGE
19 sts x 37 rows = 4” x 4” (10 x 10 cm) in eyelet pattern (after blocking)

SKILL LEVEL Easy

MEASUREMENTS Approx 6” x 6” (15.25 x 15.25 cm)

NOTES

This square is smaller in size than a standard dishcloth because it is intended to be used as part of another design.   If you would like to make a larger square, simply continue the 4-row repeat (Rows 19-22*) until you reach your desired size. *In Row 19 continue to rep from * to last 5 sts then K5. Rows 20-22 are worked as written. 

Double Ewrap cast on is recommended working in the direction of peg 1. Choose Peg 1 to be on the RIGHT for right handed knitters to start with Purl stitch. Or choose peg 1 to be on LEFT if you are left handed and start Purl on left. Decrease names are written for right handed, however for left handed knitters please see video for demonstration if needed.

YO – Yarnover Increase:  Place the working yarn in front of the peg and move on the next peg to make a Flat YO. If an Ewrap YO is used, it leaves the twist in the Ewrapped stitch and it partially blocks the eyelet making the hole appear small; to avoid this you must untwist the Ewrap YO before working it on the next row. In this sample a Flat YO is used instead.

This pattern calls for you to increase AFTER the first two stitches in the row.  To do this, work the first 2 pegs as listed.  Then move the stitch on the first peg over one to the empty peg.  Next move the second stitch over one peg to create an empty peg.  This is your increase.  Flat Yarnover this peg and continue with the row.

Decreases:  

• P2tog move the right stitch onto the left and purl both stitches together.
• K2tog move the right stitch onto the left and knit both stitches together.
• Ssk move the left stitch onto the right and knit both stitches together.
• Ssp move the left stitch onto the right and purl both stitches together.
