This is a pattern which came out of a Barbara Walker stitch dictionary -- BW4, pg234 if you're interested -- which is a charted design. Since I can't knit off of charts if my life depended upon it (it's yet another skill I need to learn), I painstakingly translated the chart into row-by-row instructions before adapting it into my washcloth design.

Stitches used in this cloth include:
Butterfly, BW4 pg 234
Garter Stitch, BW1 pg 10
Seed Stitch, BW1 pg 11
Stockinette Stitch, BW1 pg 10

Must. Knit. This. Today.

Love it!

THE KNITORIOUS MRS. B a dit…

Thanks for this! I had thought about adding this B. Walker pattern to the side of my sweater that i've been contemplating, but hesitate because it looked like it might be too big. So, i will work the cloth instead. You are a mind reader!

You seem to be the goddess of washcloths. This one is very cute!

TracyKM a dit…

Do you have any knitting software so you could make a chart of the design too? You can also download knitting graph paper on the internet. I used to be afraid of charts, but they are really handy with lace work. This is a really pretty cloth!

Trish - My Merino Mantra a dit…

That is one lovely washcloth! Thanks for the pattern!

Bette a dit…

I just love the pattern for the Papillion, and I'm currently working 2 of them. Would you mind if I shared this pattern on my blog? Your work is just gorgeous!~~ Knit On!

Lindsey a dit…

I just knitted the butterfly, and its beautiful! But, I was a bit confused as you mentioned a step PYOP and had an explaination for it, but I never came across it in the rows.

My dear Marie,
(SIGH)
I managed to get as far as row 29 before I had to frog back to row 15. Now I am now hopelessly stuck at row 23. When I try to do purling row 24 I come up one stitch short all the time, so I must be doing something wrong with the S2TK1P stich in the previous row. I have reread your guide several times. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I do love the way the pattern is coming alive!

You're encouraging my butterfly fetish. I thank you very much, but my husband doesn't!
