Cotton Leaf Rag

Cotton Leaf Rag This pattern is for knitters comfortable with short rows. It is knit in two colors of green worsted weight kitchen cotton and whatever needles give you a pleasing texture. I like using Peaches and Crème Teal Blue and Verde Green.

Bind off all stitches Why not try this in ombre colorways or use wool and felt it into coasters?
