Classic Christmas Stocking Ornament Pattern Knitting pattern by Karen DiTommaso. Heart of Glass. Once I had a love, and it was a gas, Soon I found out, had a heart of glass Worked seamlessly from the top down with one of the prettiest lace patterns ever (both charted and written out), this versatile, drop-shouldered pullover can be worked either as a sleeveless top in a lightweight fiber for warm climes, or with sleeves to keep you cozy in chilly weather.
Short rows shape the shoulders so that they angle downward (no dreaded “wings” at the shoulders!) And reduce bulk at the underarms. Slim sleeves keep the look modern and sleek. A photo tutorial lets you check your work, and I’ve included my popular Some Thoughts About Fit section to help you modify to your tastes. I was stopped at Rhinebeck at least 100 times while wearing these sweaters! This product can be used in any kCDesign compatible app (learn more). Heart of Glass. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 6. So far in our series on grafting lace edgings, we’ve covered how to create:• a picot selvedge • a slip stitch selvedge at the beginning of a row • twisted stitches • single and double yarnovers • single and double decreases The sixth edging in our series on grafting lace edgings is another garter-stitch-based edging with a simple faggoting stitch at one edge and a one-sided lace stitch with left-slanting double decreases at the other edge.
For the grafting, I used Rows 1 and 2 of the lace chart (Row 1 for the grafted row itself and Row 2 for the provisional cast-on row). I chose those two rows because they have the fewest stitches (and the fewest decreases), of any of the other rows. As with the series on grafting two-sided lace , the live stitches will be held on waste yarn until the grafting is complete because this is much easier than grafting lace on the needles. Keep the stitches on the waste yarn as they are being grafted. All the other sequences are simply variations of Sequence C. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 6. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 5. So far in our series on grafting lace edgings, we’ve covered how to create:• a picot selvedge • a slip stitch selvedge at the beginning of a row • twisted stitches • single and double yarnovers • single and double decreases The fifth edging in our series on grafting lace edgings is another garter-stitch-based edging with a simple faggoting stitch on each side.
The lace pattern is two-sided, which means that yarnovers and decreases are worked on both right-side and wrong-side rows. For the grafting, I used Rows 1 and 2 of the lace chart (Row 1 for the grafted row itself and Row 2 for the provisional cast-on row). I chose those two rows because they have the fewest stitches (and the fewest decreases), of any of the other rows. As with the series on grafting two-sided lace, the live stitches will be held on waste yarn until the grafting is complete because this is much easier than grafting lace on the needles.
Four grafting sequences are used to graft this edging: Sequences C, G, L, and U. 1. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 4. So far in our series on grafting lace edgings, we’ve covered how to create:A picot selvedgeA slip stitch selvedge at the beginning of a rowTwisted stitchesYarnoversSingle and double decreases The fourth edging in our series is another garter-stitch-based edging with yarnovers and decreases worked only on right-side rows. In addition to some grafted stitches we’ve already covered, this edging also involves grafting double yarnovers. This may sound a bit scary, but as we shall see, it’s actually very easy. All you do is work four steps on the upper piece and skip the steps on the lower piece altogether. This particular edging comes from a baby blanket pattern that has been in my queue for a long time: the Star Light Star Bright baby blanket, designed by Anna Dillenberg Rachap.
For the grafting, I used Rows 1 and 2 of the lace chart (Row 1 for the grafted row itself and Row 2 for the provisional cast-on row). Keep the stitches on the waste yarn as they are being grafted. Quick refresher: An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 3. The third edging in our series on grafting lace edgings is a leaf motif with a saw-toothed garter-stitch edging on the left-hand side and basic faggoting stitches at the right-hand side. For the grafting, I used Rows 1 and 2 of the lace chart (Row 1 for the grafted row itself and Row 2 for the provisional cast-on row).
Keep the stitches on the waste yarn as they are being grafted Quick refresher:Knitwise = point of tapestry needle faces away from you (tip of needle can point either to the right or to the left)Purlwise = point of tapestry needle faces toward you (tip of needle can point either to the right or to the left)The dotted lines on the grafting chart indicate the spaces between stitches on the upper piece.The yarnover symbols on the upper row of the grafting chart indicate the placement of the yarnovers that were worked on the provisional cast-on row.
Ten grafting sequences are used to graft this edging: Sequences B, C, D, F, G, H, M, P, Q, and R. The Provisional Cast-On 1. 2. 1. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 2 | Interweave. Take a look at the introduction to this series, in addition to the blog depicting Edging Pattern 1, to get the full story on grafting lace edgings! The second edging in our series on grafting lace edgings is a stockinette-stitch-based edging with a slip-stitch selvedge at the right-hand side and a garter-stitch selvedge at the left-hand side. Unlike the first lace edging, this is a one-sided lace pattern, which means that the yarnovers and decreases are worked on the right-side rows only and the wrong-side rows are “plain” rows (containing only knit and purl stitches). For the grafting, I used Rows 1 and 2 of the lace chart (Row 1 for the grafted row itself and Row 2 for the provisional cast-on row).
In this pattern, no two rows are harder or easier to graft than any other two rows, so I simply chose the first two rows of the chart. Keep the stitches on the waste yarn as they are being grafted. Seven grafting sequences are used to graft this edging: Sequences A, C, D, F, M, N, and O. 1. 1. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 2 | Interweave.
An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 1. Did you catch the introduction to this series on grafting lace edgings? Don’t forget to read that information prior to jumping into the below. The first edging in our series on grafting lace edgings is a simple, garter-stitch-based edging with a picot selvedge at the right-hand side. The lace pattern is two-sided, which means that yarnovers and decreases are worked on both right-side and wrong-side rows. For the grafting, I used Rows 18 and 1 of the lace chart (Row 18 for the grafted row itself and Row 1 for the provisional cast-on row). I chose those two rows because Row 18 has only one yarnover/k2tog pair, making it the easiest row to graft. Row 1 was used by default (because it’s the row above Row 18). As with the series on grafting two-sided lace, the live stitches will be held on waste yarn until the grafting is complete because this is much easier than grafting lace on the needles.
Keep the stitches on the waste yarn as they are being grafted. The Provisional Cast-On 1. 2. 1. 2. 1. 2. An Education in Grafting Lace Edgings: Edging Pattern 1. An Education in Lace Grafting: Intro to Grafting Lace Edgings. One of the last steps for many projects involves joining the end of a lace edging to its cast-on row. This includes projects such as shawls, stoles, baby blankets, or doilies with a center rectangle or circle and an edging that’s worked around the perimeter of the main piece. It’s also true for sweaters, skirts, or socks with a lace edging that continues around the entire hem or cuff.
The edgings are typically worked back and forth over fewer than thirty stitches while being joined to the live stitches of the main piece at the end of every alternate row. Even though the final edging seam is short (usually only about 2–5″ wide), it’s in a very visible location so care should be taken to make the seam as inconspicuous as possible. The most invisible seam requires a provisional cast-on and grafting the live stitches together. Each of the following grafting methods has pros and cons, and you can decide which method will work best for your project. What You Can Expect from This Series. Spectacular_Single_Skein_Scarf. Safari - Oct 28, 2017 at 6:58 PM. Interlock Bindoff : Knitty Spring+Summer 2011. After the publication of Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bindoff, I began a quest to find a bindoff that would stretch out just as far as JSSBO, snap back in just as well, and also be invisible (or close to it).
The bindoff you see to the right is where that quest led me. Interlock can be worked plain or in pattern, and results in a visually subtle edge that is highly elastic and does not look scalloped when unstretched. When worked in rib, it sits atop the last row and blends nicely into the fabric, following the bends of the ribbing. When worked plain over stockinette, it is the exact match for the Twisted (a.k.a.
Backwards) Loop Cast On. THE CONCEPT Let’s say you’re working stockinette stitch, and you pull out your knitting needle from a row of live stitches. Now, if each stitch were interlocked with its neighboring stitches, it would look like something like this: This is the end result of the Interlock Bindoff worked plain (see Part 1 below). Note: your working yarn is now in front. Blocking 201 – Hats | Pantsville Press. The online pattern store.

The Flat Felled Seam Finish - So Sew Easy. Looking again today at how to get a nice neat finish on the inside of your projects.
This isn't one technique that might immediately spring to mind and it's certainly not right for every project, but if you look closely you'll be surprised how often you might find it on your store-bought clothes. How can we use the Flat Felled Seam? The places you'll find the seam give clues to its features. Looking down right now, I'm wearing a pair of board shorts and the side seams and the central seam running front to back between the legs are both flat felled seams. It's generally used on heavy weight fabrics such as jeans and on seams where extra strength is needed.
You can often also find it on children's wear where the seams might undergo a bit more stress as they rough and tumble. How to sew a flat felled seam The flat felled seam can be sewn from either the inside or outside. I'll be creating an ‘inside' flat felled seam in this example. Press both seam allowances over to one side. Blocking 201 – Hats | Pantsville Press. Blocking 201 – Cowls | Pantsville Press. Editorial spring 06. You have cast one stitch on to needle #1. 5. Bring needle #2 over the yarn tail on your thumb, around and under the yarn and back up, making a loop around needle #2. Pull the loop snug around the needle.
You have cast one stitch on to needle #2. There are now two stitches on needle #2 Ñ the stitch you just cast on plus the anchor loop. The top yarn strand always wraps around needle #1 (the bottom needle), and the bottom yarn strand always wraps around needle #2 (the top needle). Just remember: Top around bottom, bottom around top. 6. 7. 8.
In this picture, a total of 20 stitches, or 10 stitches on each needle, have been cast on. Turn back to the right side to begin knitting. 9. Knit the row of stitches from needle #1. You will see a row of stitches appear between the two needles. 10. Be careful! You have completed one round and are back where you started. Note: Do the stitches between the needles appear too loose or "sloppy? " There are two rows of stitches between the needles now. Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off, Fall 2009. This bind off combines the classic simple bind off with a yarn wrap. It is thus named because it defies logic that anything so simple would be so elastic. Before you scoff, give it a try.
It has a higher elasticity than Elizabeth Zimmermann’s sewn bind off, and has an advantage in that it is not sewn, and therefore easier to execute over a long length of fabric. For optimum elasticity, avoid snugging the stitches tightly after you knit or purl them. NOTES This bind off is well-suited to hats, sweater necks, and especially toe-up socks – anything that requires a lot of stretch to get into place! PATTERN You’ll be working the classic bind-off (passing one freshly worked stitch over another freshly worked stitch) with one game-changing addition: each knit or purl stitch is “processed” in a particular way as it is worked. To process a knit stitch: Yarn-over in reverse (that is, wrap the opposite direction around the needle from the standard yarnover)... knit 1... purl 1... Jeny's Stretchy Slipknot Cast-On.
Since Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off was published in Knitty earlier this month, a number of knitters have asked me if there is an accompanying stretchy cast-on. Well, there is. It is the most elastic cast-on I know -- more elastic than the classic long-tail cast-on. And this one is not a long-tail cast-on so you don't have to worry about how much yarn to leave for the tail. Like my bind-off, this cast-on is super-stretchy: And like my bind-off, this cast-on also hinges at the bends of the ribbing.
The basic premise of this cast-on is this: 1. It's really as simple as that. The origin of this bindoff is somewhat of a mystery. Warning: This cast-on is a bit finicky about the kind of yarn you use. ADDENDUM 9/28: Now that this post has been up for a few days, other knitters who know this cast-on (or very similar) are coming out of the woodwork. Check out this video: ADDENDUM #2, 10/4: A-HA!
