This project is a placemat done in 100% cotton yarn. Yup, it's another e-bay find. Gotta love those prices on yarn :-D.

I cast on seventy stitches (long tail) and started working K 10, P 10 from row one. When I acheived a length equaling the width of the K or the P, I turned to P 10, K 10to create a basket weave effect. Here you can see two sections finished, one starting with the Knit and the next section starting with the Purl.
