My current knitting project: basket weave scarf

2006-10-21T09:35:43Z

I got this pattern from the Stitch and Bitch Nation book and love it! it's very easy, but my choice of yarn slows me down. My yarn, being a little bit fuzzy (which I also love) keeps the detail of the pattern from really coming out, so it's more subtle, which is what i was going for when choosing this project.

Ladies v-neck pullover WWII style

2006-10-19T04:56:24Z

A V-NECKED PULLOVER Materials: 8 oz. of Jaeger "Super-Spun" ("J.S." Quality) Fingering, 3 -ply, (9d. per oz.), and 1 pair each of No. 9 and No. 12 Jaeger knitting needles. Measurements: Length from shoulder at arm- hole edge, 20 inches; width all round wider the arms, 35 inches; length of sleeve seam, 18.5 inches. Tension: 7 stitches to 1 inch in width, and 11 rows to 1 inch in depth. Abbreviations: K. = knit; p. = purl; sts. = stitches; rep. = repeat; sl. = slip; tog. = together; inc. = increase or increasing; dec. = decrease or decreasing. Casting-on: If you cast on with two needles work into the back of all cast on sts. to produce firm edges, but if you use the thumb method this is not necessary. THE BACK Begin at the lower edge. Cast on 116 sts. using No. 12 needles and work 3 inches in k.2, p.2 rib. Next row - K. twice into the first st., rib 57, k. twice into the next st., rib to last st., k. twice into the last st. (119 sts.). Change to No. 9 needles and the pattern as follows: 1st row - Sl.1, k.3, * sl.1 (purlwise), k.4. Rep. from * to end. 2nd row - Sl.1, p. to last st., k.1. These 2 rows form the pattern and are rep. throughout. Continue in pattern until the work measures 13 inches from the beginning, finishing with the work right side towards you. The Armhole Shaping: Cast off 5 sts. at the beginning of the next 6 rows (89 sts.). Continue without dec. until the armholes measure 7 inches on the straight, finishing with the work right side towards you. The Neck Shaping: Pattern 30, cast off 29, pattern 29. Continue on the last 30 sts. casting off 5 sts. at the beginning of the next row, then on every alternate row until all sts. are cast off. Join the wool to the inside edge of the other side and work up this to match the first. THE FRONT Begin at the lower edge. Cast on 116 sts. using No. 12 needles and work 3 inches in k.2, p.2 rib. Next row - * Rib 13, k. twice into the next st. Rep. from * finishing k.2, p.2 (124 sts.). Change to No. 9 needles and the pattern and continue until the work measures 12.5 inches from the beginning, finishing with the work right side towards you. The Neck Shaping: Next row - Pattern 62, turn (leaving the remaining sts. on a st.-holder). Continue on these sts., dec. 1 st. at the beginning of the next row, then on every 4th row following. At the same time when the work measures 13 inches from the beginning, finishing with the work right side towards you, work the armhole shaping. The Armhole Shaping: Cast off 5 sts. at the beginning of the next row, then at the same edge on the next 3 alternate rows. Now dec. 1 st. at the neck edge on every 3rd row until 30 sts. remain. Continue without dec. until the armhole measures 7 inches on the straight, finishing with the work right side towards you. The Shoulder Shaping: Cast off 5 sts. at the beginning of the next row, then on every alternate row until all sts. are cast off. Join the wool to the inside edge of the other side and work up this to match the first. THE SLEEVES Begin at the lower edge. Cast on 52 sts. using No. 12 needles and work 3 inches in k.2, p.2 rib. Next row - * Rib 6, k. twice into the next st. Rep, from * to last 3 sts., rib 3 (59 sts.). Change to No. 9 needles and the pattern, inc. 1 st. at both ends of the 7th row, then on every 8th row following until there are 89 sts. on the needle. Continue without inc. until the work measures 18 inches from the beginning, measured down the centre. Now shape the top by casting off 2 sts. at the beginning of every row until 13 sts. remain. Cast off. THE NECK BAND Cast on 6 sts. using No. 12 needles and work as follows: 1st row - Sl.1, k. to end. 2nd row - SI.1, k.1, p.2, k.2. Rep. these 2 rows until the work measures 26 inches from the beginning. Cast off. THE MAKING UP Press the work on the wrong side with a warm iron and damp cloth. Join the shoulders, sew in the sleeves, and press the seams. Sew up the side and sleeve seams, and press them. Fold the neckband in half lengthwise, then sew round the neck edge, and press the seam.
