FISH BONES knitting pattern
As I told you last week, you can also include the FISH BONES knitting pattern into the 🐱 CATS collection 😊 At the end of the post I leave links to any other suitable pattern for this.
THE ENTIRE FISH BONES KNITTING PATTERN (written and charted) IS BELOW.
ABBREVIATIONS
- CO: cast on
- RS: right side
- WS: wrong side
- st: stitch
- k: knit
- p: purl
INSTRUCTIONS
– CO 43 sts with US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight. |
– With US 6 (4 mm) needles, knit 4 rows.
Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border. |
– Continue working as follows:
4 garter sts, FISH BONES knitting pattern over 35 sts, 4 garter sts (55 rows).
– Knit 4 rows.
– Bind off with US 7 (4.5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Ceci, you have outdone yourself. I **love** this cloth! I just got a fellow interested in picture cloth knitting and his husband loves the lizard and wants more. The fellow is looking for pictures that are a bit less juvenile, and I think this certainly fills the bill. What can be more grown-up and adult than a cat?
haha, thanks!! 🥰
