These are immensely fun to knit. You will get 3-4 cloths from 2 balls of Cotton Chenille. This is a perfect little project to learn twined knitting or to use to teach a class.

The soft and lovely Cotton chenille cloths are worked by knitting a fascinating stitch which I’ve named “Magic Garter”. This is my adaptation of a 400+ yr-old knitting method called “twining” twaandsticknung, two-end knitting which is traditionally worked in-the-round. Twining is well-known historically, with many datable museum examples; it is flexible and warm and fun to do.

The “Magic Garter” * cloths shown here are knit just like ordinary garter, except that you use 2 yarns and twine at every stitch. The “Magic Garter” stitch pattern results in a flexible and stretchy “braided” texture that is really attractive. The method is unique & distinctive, being comprised of stitches crossing over one another to form the apparent “braid”, yet the secret is to twine knit for all sts.
