Bind off in (K1, P1) pattern
Very cute...very different. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to knitting, how do you do the binding off in the K1,P1 pattern
ReplyDeleteI love this, i'm making one for my mom who is a fanatic about thanksgiving! thanks!
Beautiful!! Just in time for this year! 8-)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do for rows 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61--straight stitch?
ReplyDeleteMaria (alienfriend7@yahoo.com)
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the great comments...glad everyone is enjoying this pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe K1, P1 bind off is very similar to the standard bind off. K1 stitch, P1 stitch - there are 2 stitches on your right hand needle. Slip the K stitch over the P stitch - 1 stitch on your needle. K1 stitch. Slip the P stitch over the K stitch. Continue alternating with the K1 P1 until all your stitches have been bound off.
Hope this helps!
Oops, one more thing!
ReplyDeleteMaria, the rows you inquired about are part of the odd rows: (K1, P1) x2, P41, (K1, P1) x2.
Let me know if there are any more questions! =)
Kelly -
ReplyDeleteIs there any way you could post this pattern without the black background? I'd love to make it, but can't copy it this way.
Thanks!
Molly
Hi Molly ~ It's like you read my mind! =) We had our first snowfall of the season this week and our local radio station just started playing Christmas music so I was thinking it was time for a change....hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteHOW WOULD THIS TURKEY TURN OUT IN MULTICOLORED YARN? AND HAS ANYONE DONE IT THIS WAY OR WOULDNT YOU BE ABLE TO TELL WHERE STITCHES ARE WHEN YOU GO TO BLOCK IT
ReplyDeleteOutstanding post however , I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject?
ReplyDeleteI'd be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Cheers!

I was surprised to see a yarn shop selling this particular pattern, copied right from this blog as it is, comments and all, for $5 today. It is being used as part of a monthly knit-a-long, and they are planning to also use others from here throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how to get the pattern to be more prominent..I knit them but when I'm done the pattern isn't always to see. I'm very new to knitting!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly; I own a knitting group called Monthly Dishcloth Group and would love to use your turkey as a knit along for November. I would list your site and name as designer. Would love to hear from you. Thanks. Janet Nogle jcnogle@gmail.com
