Address all pattern questions to:   Tamara Adams

Berniece from Ravelry made these handy-dandy little covers for her Corning VisionWare cookware, and I liked them so much I made some for my CorningWare Lids.  They slip on and off easily and can just stay on in the microwave (don't use them in the oven though)!

Directions are given to make a cover for any size knob.

Item shown was made with Lily Sugar'n Cream 100% Cotton in White.

PATTERN

Notes:

·       American terms are used throughout.

·       Item is worked “in the round” (do not turn, do not join rounds).

·       Place marker in 1^st st of each row for reference.

Row 1:  In magic ring, ch 1, sc 6 times – (6 st)

Row 2:  2 sc in each sc around – (12 st)

Row 3:  (Sc in next sc, 2 sc in next) around – (18 st)

Row 4:  (Sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next) around – (24 st)

Row 5:  (Sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next) around – (30 st)

Row 6:  (Sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next) around – (36 st)

Row 7:  Sc in each st around – (36 st)

Row 8:  (Sc2tog, sc in next st) around – (24 st)

Row 9:  Repeat Row 8; sl st in 1^st st to join – (16 st)

Test cover for size.  If opening is too small, pull out yarn to remove one or two of the sc2tog and replace them with a sc in each st.  If it’s too large, pull out yarn to remove two sc and work another sc2tog.

Finish off, pull center ring tight and weave in ends.
