Furballs' Leaflet-Go-Round

Furballs' Leaflet-Go-Round Knitted Table Setting

What is Being Made

Furballs' Leaflet-Go-Round is a knitted table setting accessory designed by Tomato68Evony. This intermediate-level knitting project creates a circular decorative piece measuring approximately 6 inches in diameter when made with cotton yarn, or 5.5 inches when worked in acrylic. The finished piece is suitable for table settings and adds a handmade, textured element to dining décor.

Craft and Technique

This is a knitting project worked in the round using circular or double-pointed needles. The design employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for intermediate-level crafters, including increases, decreases, and yarn-over stitches that create the leaflet pattern. The pattern uses both knit and purl stitches to build texture and visual interest. Knitters will work in rounds, building the circular shape from the center outward.

Stitches Used

The pattern incorporates a variety of essential knitting stitches:

• Knit (k) and purl (p) stitches form the foundation
• Yarn over (yo) stitches create openwork and lace elements characteristic of the leaflet design
• Slip stitches (sl1) and slip one with yarn in back (sl1wyib) for shaping
• Decrease stitches including knit two together (k2tog), knit three together (k3tog), slip-slip-knit (ssk), and pass slipped stitch over (psso) to shape the circular motif
• Increase stitches including make one left (m1l) and make one right (m1r) for expanding the design

Materials Required

This pattern offers flexibility in yarn choice. Knitters can select either non-mercerized 100% cotton at worsted weight (0.8 oz. / 25.3 g with 40.4 yards / 36.9 meters) or acrylic yarn at worsted weight (0.6 oz. / 20.3 g with 33.8 yards / 30.9 meters). The cotton option produces a slightly larger finished piece.

Needles required include one pair of 3.50 mm / US 4 circular or double-pointed needles for working in the round, plus one additional 3.50 mm / US 4 needle in straight, circular, or double-pointed style for finishing. Basic finishing tools include scissors and a yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Gauge and Finished Measurements

The pattern specifies a gauge of 20 stitches by 40 rows over 4 inches / 10 centimeters in garter stitch, measured before blocking. This gauge applies to both cotton and acrylic yarn options. The finished diameter measures 6 inches / 15 centimeters for cotton yarn and 5.5 inches / 14 centimeters for acrylic yarn, both measured before blocking.
