THE ENTIRE 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, SAILBOAT 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.

Hey, Ceci – weren’t you going to start making 10-square darker grid lines in your charts? It would make reading them so much easier. I use a tablet and don’t print out the charts so I can’t mark them up. Thanks!!
Hi! I thought about it, and then forgot!! I’ll modify this one and write to you again, so you can tell me what you think.
Oops! I forgot to say thanks for the neat new patterns. I love this Sailboat with the sail out in front.
Thank you! I just added 2 charts at the end of the post. Which one do you find more helpful, B or C? I’m used to follow written instructions, so I would love your opinion. Since the even rows are the ones more difficult to follow, I would think “C” (numbers from left to right), but you’re the expert!!
I’m SO sorry!! I didn’t mark the box to get responses by email and forgot to come back. Anyway, I love the darker lines and I think that since your patterns are all 35 sts wide, you should put the “extra” 5 sts on one side or the other. I doubt it makes much difference to many of us – just having a reference point ever 10 sts will make counting so much easier!!
