Let's play 'name that stitch'

[RoseRed]

I came across a pattern on Ravelry today for a potholder.

I totally LOVE the stitch that she used. I know I've seen it before but I can't remember the name of it. Any ideas?

Reni - I just made a swatch and it's the closest so far.

Startigerlily - you are AWESOME! I think that's it.

 

Yay! I'm glad I took the time to check my pattern books.

[RoseRed]

This has been a lot of fun! You guys should see the pile of swatches I've made. I found a lot of new stitches that I really like!

[RoseRed]

well now I'm gonna have to go and swatch that!

Somebody's gonna be pampered for Christmas!

Thanx so much for posting that. You made a much bigger swatch than I did. It's really close. It just might be it!

 

I went ahead and made a whole dishcloth/ spa cloth. I see a very minute difference between your link pic and my version although, it is so slight it might not be visible to others.

Anyway, it was fun and quick to make and I plan on making more out of a bamboo blend yarn (Spa) for Christmas gifts. Thank you for posting this inquiry- it drew me back to a buried pattern.

Here is the photo of the cloth I made last night of the Grit Stitch:

cluster stitch??

[RoseRed]

That would be incredibly cool of you! Thanx!

Actually, the ripple st and the one from Beginner's guide Crochet Stitches & Easy Projects are the same st. I don't think the grit st is it either but it's really close.

I think when I'm done with this snowflake I'll go in and look at my Grandmother's black and white books. I KNOW I've seen it before.

 

Last night I whipped up the Lion Brand pattern I posted. To me it looks exactly like the photo you linked. I made it out of Sugar-n-Cream cotton. It even has a zig-zaggy effect to it like the photo. When I get back from town later today, I will try to post a pic for you.

Star stitch?

That's funny -- I wondered the same thing when I saw the pattern! I thought if I knew the stitch, the potholder is really just the same stitch repeated, then edged. I usually sort of laugh when I see a one stitch pattern for sale but in this case, I didn't know the stitch, so I just looked puzzled.

 

Pls let us know if one of these stitches winds up being "the one."

That's the cutest thing I've heard all week next to my little dog snoring in the other room. lololol

 

Thanx so much ladies!

[ReniC]

Maybe...... the Grit Stitch as shown in this washcloth and the pattern at Lion Brand. (pinkies are linkies)

I have a Leisure Arts little book, Beginner's guide Crochet Stitches & Easy Projects, with 19 stitch patterns in it and it looks like what they call a cable stitch to me (pg 11 in the book).

[RoseRed]

It's a gorgeous stitch but it's highly textured. It almost looks like rows popcorn stitches. It could be very cool in an Aran style ghan.

 

Any other ideas?

[RoseRed]

That just might be it. I'm off to work up a swatch. Thanx!
