Tuck stitch success



Here is the finished sample from the first design I tried in the last post on the electronic knitting machine.  The problem was drawing the design on the mylar sheet. I put the knit stitches on the mylar and should have put the tuck sts on there! Once redone it worked fine!  This stitch is in a baby blanket I want to make soon. The colors alternate every row and there is a machine knit edging sewn on after the blanket is done. Also looks cute on hats,just picturing some pretty baby hat colors with a ribbing.

Too many ideas and not enough hours in the day.




This is another tuck st pattern. This one is only 2 sts across and 2 sts high.  This is a dishcloth pattern from Ravelry,and the yarn is 8/2 cotton rug warp.



Here is the front of the finished dishcloth. Looks like ribbing,because the tuck stitch pattern is every other stitch,and alternates every row. The yarn I used was thinner than what the pattern called for,so had to change the tension from 8 to 5 and that worked out well.

Will be making more of these in different colors and patterns.  They are good practice pieces and a way to use your swatches
