Irish Moss Stitch Faux Cardigan

-
Image
This pattern is provided in written and video format (coming soon), so hopefully it will make sense to everyone.  The pattern has not been tested for different sizes so is provided for free. I have tried to write the pattern so it is adjustable for different body types/sizes. The Irish Moss Stitch Combo measures about 7cm so add length to the body and sleeves by repeating the combo as many times as required. Schematic and Measurements I made the sweater with approx. 3cm of negative ease in the bust so it will be form fitting up top but looser on the waist and hips. If you have different proportions to me the sweater may fit you a little differently.

Knit a Raglan Sweater without a patterns

This method of construction will enable you to create a custom sweater for yourself or someone else without using a pattern.  So if you struggle to read patterns, or like me you just don't have the attention span to follow one or perhaps you live in a household where there are constant interruptions then this is hopefully a solution for you. As there is no pattern so there are no gauges to worry about so you can just get started right away and use whatever size hook or needle you like to work with. Step 1: Casting on So like all projects we will start by casting on, there are no numbers with this technique, all I want you to do is cast on enough stitches so you can create a circle that fits over your head. I find from crown to chin is usually a good length.  When you have a chain long enough, slip stitch to make a circle and add our first marker.  This marker will mark the start of each round, we wont be counting rounds but its good to know where to stop when we get to that point.

Knit a lace sweater with Sentro circular knitting machine

-

  I will eventually be writing a full pattern for this sweater but for now here is the pattern for the lace details and a full video tutorial for the lace front and the entire sweater: Lace Pattern Tables For every row in the table you will move a stitch from the numbered needle to the following needle.  This pattern is a 12 row repeat and you will repeat it fully 5 times.  I have added stars to the table to remind you to shape the arms and neckline. You can print off the tables and tick each row as you go. How to read the table The table is meant as a check list rather than a grid pattern.  The numbers along the top of the table represent the row numbers and the numbers in the first column are the stitches you need to move. We will work from top to bottom, left to right. So start at row 4 of your project and move stitches 7, 16, 26 and 35. Knit row 5 as normal. Place a tick in the first empty box in the table. Then we move down to the next row on the table, row 6 of your knitting,
