If you're a knitter looking for a new and creative project, you'll love this super easy knitting pattern that uses plastic bottle rings as the base. This pattern is not only easy to follow, but it also promotes sustainability by repurposing a common household item.
Materials:
- Plastic bottle rings (cleaned and dried)
- Yarn (in your choice of color)
- Knitting needles (size 6 or 7)
Instructions:
1. Thread the yarn through one of the plastic bottle rings and tie a knot to secure it in place.
2. Begin knitting by making a slip knot on one of your knitting needles, and then slide it onto the yarn. You can use any knitting stitch you prefer, but a basic knit stitch will work just fine.
3. Knit around the plastic bottle ring, making sure to pull the stitches tight to keep them snug against the ring.
4. Continue knitting around the ring until you reach the end of the round. Then, switch to a new color of yarn (if desired) and continue knitting.
5. Keep knitting around the ring until it's covered completely with the yarn. You can use one color of yarn or multiple colors to create a striped or multicolored effect.
6. Once you've covered the entire plastic bottle ring with yarn, tie off the end of the yarn and weave in any loose ends.
7. Repeat these steps with as many plastic bottle rings as you like, to create a set of coasters or even a larger piece like a trivet or hot pad.
Tips:
- For a thicker and more stable coaster or trivet, you can knit around two or more plastic bottle rings at once.
- If you're having trouble knitting around the plastic bottle ring, you can try using a larger size of knitting needles to make the stitches easier to work.
