1. 0:01hi everyone it's Anna haferman and today
2. 0:03I'm going to show you a dishcloth on the
3. 0:06LK 150.
4. 0:08a lot of you've been asking for
5. 0:10dishcloth patterns and I know a lot of
6. 0:11us like to make these and give them as
7. 0:13gifts you can also use this as a face
8. 0:16cloth it's just a simple tuck stitch
9. 0:20pattern two color tuck it's pretty easy
10. 0:23to do and it looks nice it makes a
11. 0:26really nice gift
12. 0:28so before I start I want to thank
13. 0:31everyone who supported my channel by
14. 0:34joining as a member by giving to the
15. 0:37YouTube super thanks or the buy me a
16. 0:40coffee link and all of you who comment
17. 0:42and like and share my videos I
18. 0:45appreciate it
19. 0:46and uh
20. 0:48it really does help me to make more
21. 0:50videos so
22. 0:52to do this
23. 0:54I'm using this brand new yarn that
24. 0:57Premier sent me to review and
25. 1:01um this is called minikins it's a 50 50
26. 1:06cotton acrylic blend and it comes in
27. 1:10these little 50 gram balls which is
28. 1:12perfect for this project
29. 1:14because you need two colors so you just
30. 1:18need two balls of whatever color and you
31. 1:21can probably get four
32. 1:24of these dish towels out of two balls of
33. 1:27yarn so
34. 1:30um it's nice and soft and springy the
35. 1:34cotton gives it makes it a you know a
36. 1:38absorbing and the acrylic I think just
37. 1:41makes it dry a little faster so I
38. 1:43blocked this one it came out really nice
39. 1:47you don't have to block these but I did
40. 1:50just for fun to see how it would come
41. 1:53out so this yarn also comes in a lot of
42. 1:58colors uh and I want to thank premiere
43. 2:02for sending these to me
44. 2:05this is a sport weight yarn so it works
45. 2:07great on the LK 150
46. 2:09and it is coming it they I will put a
47. 2:13link in the description for where you
48. 2:15can get these they're they also have a
49. 2:19lot of yarns on sale I got some really
50. 2:22nice lace weight linen yarn
51. 2:26a bag deal that was amazingly priced so
52. 2:30go check that out I'll put a link for
53. 2:31that too so and the other really cool
54. 2:34thing is that these can feed from the uh
55. 2:38like from the center of the ball or cake
56. 2:42or whatever you want to call it so that
57. 2:44really is nice that you don't have to
58. 2:46wind these
59. 2:47so I did mine on this the blue one I did
60. 2:51with this white and blue and you see I
61. 2:53have quite a bit left over
62. 2:55so I'm gonna do this one in pink
63. 2:59and white you can do it in any colors
64. 3:03you like I think it works best if they
65. 3:07have some contrast
66. 3:09here's a couple I've done
67. 3:12over the years this is a green and white
68. 3:15one this is different yarn this one I
69. 3:18did with actually another Premier called
70. 3:20yarn called The Cotton Fair which is
71. 3:23fairly similar to this but uh just
72. 3:26slightly different this one I did in
73. 3:28pink and red and I made it a little
74. 3:29bigger
75. 3:30because I hadn't checked my gauge but
76. 3:33this Stitch it's also a little looser so
77. 3:37this Stitch would make a really nice
78. 3:39baby blanket or
79. 3:41spa towel or whatever you know as long
80. 3:44once you know how to do this Stitch
81. 3:46which is pretty easy you can make just
82. 3:49about anything with it
83. 3:52so to start I'm going to use some waste
84. 3:55yarn
85. 3:57just to get things going to establish
86. 3:59stitches because I'm going to e-wrap and
87. 4:02then go directly into the tuck so it's
88. 4:05very difficult to knit off
89. 4:08from that so the waste yarn really is
90. 4:12going to help me to establish my
91. 4:16stitches
92. 4:20so I'm just using the green for that and
93. 4:24I'm going to go from 2020
94. 4:29to 21. I need an even number a odd
95. 4:34number of stitches for this to make it
96. 4:36work out so
97. 4:37however wide or whatever you want it
98. 4:39just make sure you have an even number
99. 4:41if you want the edges to look nice so
100. 4:44and then I'm just going to cast on with
101. 4:48the cast on comb
102. 4:51and so I'm going to be at tension 4 for
103. 4:54this and just do
104. 4:57a easy
105. 4:59cast on
106. 5:02with the comb
107. 5:05and I like to hang this comb
108. 5:08this way because I feel like it gives
109. 5:13it's a little easier
110. 5:18so you just hang it
111. 5:20backwards
112. 5:24that
113. 5:26and put a weight on it and that way it's
114. 5:28easier to get that Stitch out of where
115. 5:33it is and you can
116. 5:34um
117. 5:35uh it seems to stay on better if you put
118. 5:39it backwards so in the book they tell
119. 5:43you to do it the other way but I have
120. 5:44found that this works better
121. 5:46for me
122. 5:48so
123. 5:51just casting on doing my waistband
124. 6:10all right so then I'm going to cut waste
125. 6:14yarn
126. 6:17I'm just cutting that
127. 6:20and um
128. 6:22I'm gonna get rid of it now because I'm
129. 6:24going to thread the other color
130. 6:32so
131. 6:40I've got the pink I pulled out from the
132. 6:44center of the little skein and these
133. 6:49feed
134. 6:50pretty easily from the little skein
135. 6:54you probably want to pull a little bit
136. 6:57out at first so it was
137. 7:00so it flows smoothly but then just put
138. 7:03your
139. 7:04um
140. 7:05the color you want on the edge put it on
141. 7:07the right
142. 7:09and the other color which I guess we'll
143. 7:11call the contrast color will put on the
144. 7:14left so just park that and just make
145. 7:17sure that it's flowing pretty freely to
146. 7:20start
147. 7:21which mine I hope is the white I used on
148. 7:25the first
149. 7:26the first one so it is um
150. 7:30flowing pretty freely now so
151. 7:34but once you get it started it's pretty
152. 7:36easy Once I have the waste yarn
153. 7:39established I'm going to e-wrap so I've
154. 7:43got the yarn coming from here from The
155. 7:45Carriage actually and then I just go
156. 7:55and e-wrap all the way across
157. 7:58so now that I've e-wrapped I want to
158. 8:01start in with the pattern so to do that
159. 8:05I need to be in hold on both sides of
160. 8:09the carriage so that's at the one here
161. 8:12and these should these all the levers
162. 8:14should be facing backwards and depending
163. 8:18what machine you're using there's
164. 8:21different ways you put things on hold
165. 8:23but generally for the plastic machines
166. 8:25all the levers will go backwards and the
167. 8:28reason I use the
168. 8:30um waste yarn is well a couple reasons
169. 8:34first of all I want to weight it down
170. 8:35but second of all I'm going to start in
171. 8:38with the tuck Stitch right away so I
172. 8:42want to have
173. 8:43um
174. 8:43it's it's next to impossible to start
175. 8:47tuck stitch on the second
176. 8:50and the first row and maybe you can do
177. 8:52it I can't so
178. 8:55um to do that I'm going to be tucking
179. 8:57every other needle and since my needles
180. 8:59are out here I'm going to push them all
181. 9:01back to
182. 9:03upper working position that's right here
183. 9:07not all the way back to working position
184. 9:09or everything will fall off the needle
185. 9:11this is upper working positions right
186. 9:13about here there's a little oval
187. 9:16so I'm going to push everything
188. 9:18like an upper working position and then
189. 9:21selecting them I'm going to pull
190. 9:23starting with the second one here I'm
191. 9:26going to pull those to hold
192. 9:29and
193. 9:32these okay
194. 9:35and it's important to start with the
195. 9:37second needle to get the pattern to work
196. 9:40out right if you want
197. 9:41uh White around all the edges that's
198. 9:45what you're going to have to do so
199. 9:47that's what I'm going to do and I've got
200. 9:49my kerogene hold I'm going to go to zero
201. 9:51these are my first two rows so these are
202. 9:54going to hold the ones back here are
203. 9:56going to knit so I'm going to do two
204. 9:58rows
205. 10:03foreign
206. 10:07[Music]
207. 10:10make sure everything
208. 10:12looks good and then I'm going to take
209. 10:15this white yarn and park it over on the
210. 10:18right hand side
211. 10:23and I just do that by going over here is
212. 10:26coming I usually just park it right here
213. 10:31um
214. 10:32so then I have the pink
215. 10:35or whatever your contrast color is I'm
216. 10:38going to thread that so then here's the
217. 10:41pattern what we do
218. 10:44is the stitches that are in hold which
219. 10:47is all of these up here I'm going to
220. 10:50push back to Upper working position
221. 10:53and then I'm going to pull
222. 10:55the other needles that are back there
223. 11:00to hold
224. 11:02so
225. 11:03and then I will knit that one went back
226. 11:07a little too far
227. 11:10I'm gonna knit two rows
228. 11:17and then when I have the contrast color
229. 11:20when I get to this side I'm going to
230. 11:22take this yarn that's going over that
231. 11:24needle and I'm just going to push it
232. 11:26under it so we're just basically
233. 11:28wrapping that needle
234. 11:30and then I'm going to come back
235. 11:35and my yarn I should have pulled out a
236. 11:37little more it's not running too freely
237. 11:39yet it will but so if that happens just
238. 11:42pull those stitches back it's no big
239. 11:45deal so just make sure you've got
240. 11:47your yarn flowing nicely so then when
241. 11:51I'm on the right with the pink I just
242. 11:54need to take it and park it and
243. 11:59since I can't really reach I'm
244. 12:02gonna park it right under that clip
245. 12:06um that'll
246. 12:07that'll work uh normally I would do it
247. 12:10you know park it on the left hand the
248. 12:13left hand side of the bed but since I
249. 12:17since I'm knitting side saddle I'm going
250. 12:20to do it that way so now then the
251. 12:22pattern goes like this and so that one
252. 12:25pretty much automatically wrapped itself
253. 12:27so now now what I do is push the needles
254. 12:30in hold
255. 12:31back to Upper work
256. 12:34and then the needles that are
257. 12:36in work out to hold
258. 12:41and then I knit two rows
259. 12:46now when I get over here with the white
260. 12:48uh because it knits the last Stitch I
261. 12:52don't need to wrap anything because
262. 12:53there's nothing to wrap
263. 12:55and when I knit back
264. 13:00and then I change yarn so now I'm going
265. 13:04to put the take the white out
266. 13:08and do the pink and
267. 13:12at first it sounds a little laborious
268. 13:14but it really goes pretty fast once you
269. 13:17get going so I changed color I'm going
270. 13:19to push back
271. 13:22the front ones the needles in hold and
272. 13:25then I'm going to push out
273. 13:27the ones in
274. 13:30um
275. 13:32upper in work working position that's
276. 13:36where they were
277. 13:38so then I'm going to put a little bit of
278. 13:39weight on the end and then I'm just
279. 13:41going to knit two rows one
280. 13:44and with the pink I'm always going to
281. 13:46wrap
282. 13:47and then I'm going to come back and
283. 13:50change color
284. 13:54and really this goes pretty fast once
285. 13:56you get going
286. 13:58um
287. 14:04so I'll change color then
288. 14:07all I do for the entire pattern is push
289. 14:12the needles in hold back to Upper work
290. 14:15push the needles that are in work out to
291. 14:20hold so that's it and then I knit
292. 14:22two rows
293. 14:25I don't have to wrap with the white
294. 14:28and come back
295. 14:32then I change color
296. 14:38push
297. 14:40the ones in hold go back
298. 14:42only to Upper working position and the
299. 14:45ones back here in working position go
300. 14:47out to holding position
301. 14:50so this
302. 14:52it looks like that on the back and then
303. 14:54the front
304. 14:56will be this stroke pattern and that's
305. 14:58you know we did some two color tuck
306. 15:00before
307. 15:01and it does amazing things
308. 15:04[Music]
309. 15:06it's one of it's really my favorite
310. 15:09kind of pattern because it seems kind of
311. 15:11like magic so remember to always wrap
312. 15:13that pink you don't have to but it makes
313. 15:16a nicer Edge I think so if you were
314. 15:19doing something with this pattern where
315. 15:21you were seaming it you probably
316. 15:23wouldn't have to wrap so
317. 15:25up to you of course
318. 15:29so I just continue with that
319. 15:36and you know this pattern
320. 15:39can be used for anything like a baby
321. 15:41blanket a scarf anything square or
322. 15:46rectangular it will work
323. 15:49um so push this back
324. 15:52push these
325. 15:53out
326. 15:56and knit two rows
327. 15:59don't have to wrap the white
328. 16:04so it that's all you do and
329. 16:09um just keep going for a hundred and I
330. 16:12think it was 120 rows
331. 16:15and that's it the things I can tell you
332. 16:18are occasionally this Stitch will seem a
333. 16:22little it'll get a little tighter on
334. 16:24this side just kind of by the nature of
335. 16:27the machine and how knitting goes so
336. 16:30sometimes I'll pull it out a little you
337. 16:32don't have to do that
338. 16:35um pull it back a little
339. 16:37the other thing is suppose you're
340. 16:39talking a lot and recording a video or
341. 16:41something like that and you can't
342. 16:43remember where you are like which uh I'm
343. 16:48my Carriage I haven't put any yarn in my
344. 16:50Carriage yet so I'm like where am I so
345. 16:53it's pretty easy to tell
346. 16:55what you need to do so if you see you
347. 16:58look at your stitches and I can see that
348. 17:01there are two whites uh White Yarns
349. 17:04tucked on the stitches I don't know if
350. 17:06you can see that so there's like two
351. 17:10strands of white coming over and one
352. 17:14pink
353. 17:15uh so you know those are the ones that
354. 17:17tuck to the last time so therefore
355. 17:19you're going to use the other color so
356. 17:23it's just a
357. 17:24that's the way you tell
358. 17:26um
359. 17:28and also you can see these single
360. 17:31stitches are white so that means you do
361. 17:34pink but I think the easiest way to tell
362. 17:36is
363. 17:36the two strands of whatever color
364. 17:40you know you just did those so it's
365. 17:42going to be the other other ones and if
366. 17:45you can't remember if you pushed back
367. 17:47the right ones and if you've changed it
368. 17:50first of all these are going to be in
369. 17:53work if you didn't change it so that's
370. 17:56one clue that you would need to push the
371. 17:59needles back the other is you look at
372. 18:02those tuck stitches they're out to hold
373. 18:04so obviously you just did those so we'll
374. 18:06push
375. 18:07those back because
376. 18:10these are going to tuck this time
377. 18:15okay
378. 18:16so that's really it so we're going to do
379. 18:18120 rows
380. 18:20we're always going to wrap this Stitch
381. 18:23needle
382. 18:24and then we're going to
383. 18:27change color
384. 18:29and uh
385. 18:31this is a fun little project it doesn't
386. 18:33take that long once you get going it's
387. 18:36it doesn't take a lot of yarn so I
388. 18:40weighed this after I was done it weighed
389. 18:4324 grams and two of these
390. 18:47these are 50 grams so two of them are
391. 18:49100 grams divided by 24 you can get
392. 18:52probably four
393. 18:54you should easily be able to get four
394. 18:56dishcloths out of them and
395. 18:59um they make nice gifts you could give a
396. 19:01couple colors
397. 19:02and wrap them up put a nice little bar
398. 19:05of soap or a little thing of dish
399. 19:07detergent whatever you want to do
400. 19:11so I'm getting towards the end here and
401. 19:13I'm set to go across with the pink one
402. 19:16thing is if you
403. 19:19um when you move the yarn around or when
404. 19:22you move it around a lot it gets kind of
405. 19:23slack in the feeder
406. 19:27so all you really need to do
407. 19:30for that is you can either pull it back
408. 19:33from the ball
409. 19:35or you can just kind of hold on to it if
410. 19:38you can see me here let's see you just
411. 19:40kind of hold on to it
412. 19:45sort of hold on to it and move the
413. 19:48carriage across and you'll feel it
414. 19:50connect and then you're good you can let
415. 19:52go
416. 19:53so I'm going to do two more rows of pink
417. 20:03and then that's going to be it for the
418. 20:06pink so I'm going to cut that pink yarn
419. 20:17and I'm just going to weight it down
420. 20:19with a clip
421. 20:23so then my last two rows and pattern so
422. 20:27I'm at 120 I'm still going to do two
423. 20:29more rows in white so I'm going to push
424. 20:31those back one more time
425. 20:34these out
426. 20:39and then I'm going to knit two rows now
427. 20:41so I'm going to thread a needle and
428. 20:45um back stitch bind off
429. 20:49and you'll want a fairly long
430. 20:52uh piece of yarn for this so what I'm
431. 20:56going to do is go
432. 20:58um
433. 21:02into the first Stitch
434. 21:04and in the front of it and then in the
435. 21:08back of the second one now the second
436. 21:09one you make sure you go through that
437. 21:11pink one because
438. 21:13um
439. 21:13that's the actual Stitch
440. 21:18then go back
441. 21:20to the first one skip the one with the
442. 21:24pink and go through the back of it
443. 21:26third one
444. 21:28then when you go through here
445. 21:31go through all three the pink and under
446. 21:35that
447. 21:36yarn there and then go through the back
448. 21:39of that pink
449. 21:51and then go forward to the white and
450. 21:55each time I'm trying to get under that
451. 21:56yarn
452. 21:58you can either go over or under but just
453. 22:00make sure you do it the same way
454. 22:02and in the back of that one so it
455. 22:05um
456. 22:07if
457. 22:09you like my videos
458. 22:13please like And subscribe uh any
459. 22:16comments or likes or shares or anything
460. 22:19really does help me out so I appreciate
461. 22:23your support and I'm really liking this
462. 22:27Premier yarn this uh I'm really liking
463. 22:30these mini kins
464. 22:33um
465. 22:35I really like that they come you don't
466. 22:38have to rewind them into balls into
467. 22:40cakes that is a nice little feature
468. 22:44because so many Yarns for
469. 22:47machine Knitters
470. 22:50there aren't many Yarns for machine
471. 22:51Knitters so but I mean we can use a lot
472. 22:55of Yarns we just have to wind them into
473. 22:57cakes usually and so now uh there used
474. 23:01to be a lot of yarns on cones
475. 23:03but now that doesn't seem to be as
476. 23:06common but often you can find yarn on
477. 23:10cakes which is good too but these are
478. 23:13just as good since they pull from the
479. 23:16middle and didn't have any trouble
480. 23:18feeding
481. 23:20um
482. 23:21after the first
483. 23:23pulling out some and then it'll feed
484. 23:26pretty pretty easily once you get it
485. 23:29going
486. 23:36so when you get to the last needle
487. 23:41go through that last one
488. 23:45and you still go back one
489. 23:48go through it again
490. 23:52and then just go through it
491. 23:56in the back one more time and that
492. 23:58should
493. 23:59close it up
494. 24:13okay
495. 24:15so now
496. 24:17[Music]
497. 24:19let's see what we got here taking off my
498. 24:22clips
499. 24:26so to get this off all I would have to
500. 24:28do
501. 24:32is go forward with everything
502. 24:36and back with everything
503. 24:39we still have the waste yarn so go to
504. 24:43the side
505. 24:45without the Tails so there's two sides
506. 24:48this one has the tails
507. 24:50and this one does not so I will clip
508. 24:53that last Stitch there just that green
509. 24:56one and you know make sure you're not
510. 24:58clipping any pink or white
511. 25:01clip
512. 25:02and then you can take
513. 25:06this tail over here this top one
514. 25:10and just pull it out
515. 25:14and it should come out
516. 25:17pretty easily and then
517. 25:20there we go anyway here it is I've woven
518. 25:23in all my tails and the back looks like
519. 25:27this it has a lot of nice texture and
520. 25:30the front gets this really nice striped
521. 25:32pattern
522. 25:33and here's Claudine who is um coming to
523. 25:39check it out
524. 25:41the minikins are great they it's nice
525. 25:44and soft it goes through the machine
526. 25:45really well and it feeds from the
527. 25:49from the little home cake whatever you
528. 25:52want to call it so it works great that
529. 25:55you don't have to wind anything up the
530. 25:57gauge I got was
531. 26:0020 stitches by 60 rows equals about four
