Lie Like A Bathroom Rug

Pattern Design: My own
Yarn: Lily's Sugar & Cream (100% cotton)
Needles: Denise Circs, #10

I've been wanting to try my KnitWeave stitch on a bathroom rug and this photo shows my progress. This stitch was made popular in England in the 1600's, I believe, to knit outterwear and vests for men, and used for its durability. With Lily's Sugar & Cream in white, I'm using double-strands for added weight, and believe I'll get a substantial rug perfect for my bathroom. Here's the details:

• My rug is about 18" wide (54 sts), worked with a double-strand on #10 ndls.
• I used an I-cord cast-on (and will use an I-cord cast-off).
• The edges have 3 sts on each side in double-knitting to continue the border, and with 2 extra sts inside the double-knitting worked in garter stitch.

The KnitWeave stitch works as follows:

Rows 1 & 2 - *K1, bring yarn to front, SL1, take yarn to back,* Rep * to end.
Rows 3 & 4 - *P1, take yarn to back, SL1, bring yarn to front,* Rep * to end.
Rep rows 1 - 4 to completion.
