Knit a jumper
How it works
Hinweise zur Anleitung:
Jumper is worked flat from bottom up. Use intarsia technique for Chevron Patt; use separate balls for each colour section and twist yarns at colour changes to avoid holes.
When working Chevrons on Back and Front, adjust central colour area by working 2 sts more at each side of colour change in each row. This means that compared to previous row, first colour is worked for 2 sts less, the central colour is worked for 4 sts more and last colour is worked for 2 sts less. For Sleeves, yarn colour changes happen at same time as
Sleeve shaping.
Neckband sts are picked up and worked in the round; when working from st holders, continue in patt as set from worked back sts.
Double Rib Pattern
- Row 1 (RS): (P2, k2) to last 2 sts, p2.
-
Row 2 (WS): K2, (p2, k2) to end.
-
These 2 rows form patt and are repeated.
