MONSTERA knitting pattern

If you’re a plant loving person like myself, I’m sure you will like this block 💚 It is one leaf of a Monstera deliciosa: a very trendy tropical plant, suitable for luminous interiors. I’d love to have one but they grow very large and I don’t have the space. One day…

You can also use the pattern to make a nice cotton cloth to give as a gift to your plant loving friends 😀 They will certainly appreciate your handmade gift and find it useful for cleaning the dust of those beautiful leaves to keep them happy!

Enjoy your knitting,

Ceci

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, MONSTERA 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.
