INFORMATION

INFORMATION

TENSION

Obtaining the correct tension affects both the shape

and size of a knitted sample, so any variation, however

slight, can alter the finished garment. We recommend

knitting a square in pattern and or stocking stitch

(depending on the pattern instructions) of perhaps 5 - 10

more stitches and rows than those given in the tension

note. Mark out the central 10cm square with pins. If

you have too many stitches and rows to 10cm try again

using larger needles, if you have too few stitches and

rows to 10cm try again using smaller needles. Once

you have achieved the correct tension your garment

will be knitted to the measurements indicated in the

size diagram shown in the pattern.

SIZE DIAGRAM

Included with most patterns is a size diagram. As well

as displaying measurements, the diagram indicates

how the garment is constructed, for example if the

garment has a drop shoulder, this will be reflected in

the drawing.

Sleeve head depth

CHART NOTE

Underarm measured from

end of cuffs to armhole

Chest width

Each square on a chart represents a stitch and each line of

squares a row of knitting. When working from the charts,

read odd rows from right to left and even rows from left

to right, unless otherwise stated.

KNITTING WITH COLOUR

Length measured from

side of neck to bottom edge

There are two main methods of working colour into a

knitted fabric: Intarsia and Fairisle techniques. The first

method is usually used where a colour is only required in

a particular area of a row. Whereas the fairisle technique

is suitable for a pattern which repeats across a row.

Fairisle: When two or three colours are worked

repeatedly across a row, strand the yarn not in use

loosely behind the stitches being worked. Always

spread the stitches to their correct width to keep them

elastic. It is advisable not to carry the stranded yarns

over more than three stitches at a time, but to catch

them under and over the colour you are working. The

“floating” yarns should then sit neatly at the back of

the work.

Intarsia: Wind off small balls of yarn for each section

of colour used in the pattern. Then joining in the

various colours at the appropriate point on the row,

link one colour to the next by twisting them around

each other where they meet on the wrong side to

avoid gaps. All ends should then be darned along the

colour join lines, as each motif is completed.

BLOCKING

Block out each piece of knitting by pinning out the

pieces to the correct measurements. Be careful when

working with ribbed sections as they will loose the

elasticity if over stretched. Cover with a damp white

cotton cloth and leave to dry completely.

STITCHING

When stitching the pieces together, remember to

match areas of colour and texture very carefully where

they meet. Use a seam stitch such as mattress stitch or

back stitch if preferred for all main knitting seams and

join all ribs and neckband with mattress stitch, unless

otherwise stated.

CONSTRUCTION

Having completed the pattern instructions, join left

shoulder and neckband seams as referenced under

STITCHING. Sew the top of the sleeve to the body

of the garment using the method detailed in the

pattern, referring to the appropriate guide:

Straight cast-off sleeves: Place centre of cast-off

edge of sleeve to shoulder seam. Sew top of sleeve

to body, using markers as guidelines where applicable.

Square set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast-off edge of

sleeve to shoulder seam. Set sleeve head into armhole, the

straight sides at top of sleeve to form a neat right-angle to

cast-off sts at armhole on back and front.

Shallow set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast off edge

of sleeve to shoulder seam. Match decreases at beg of

armhole shaping to decreases at top of sleeve. Sew sleeve

head into armhole, easing in shapings.

Set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast-off edge of sleeve

to shoulder seam. Set in sleeve, easing sleeve head into

armhole. Join side and sleeve seams.

Slip stitch pocket edgings and linings into place.

Sew on buttons to correspond with buttonholes. Darn

in all ends neatly, along seams where possible.

Dimensions are body measurements, not garment dimensions.

Measure yourself close to your body,

over your underwear and don’t pull

the tape measure too tight.

Chest: measure around the fullest

part of the bust/chest and across the

shoulder blades.

Waist: measure around the natural

waistline, just above the hip bone.

Hips: measure around the fullest

part of the bottom.

If you don’t want to measure

yourself, note the size of a similar

shaped garment that you own and

compare it with the sizes shown in

the pattern.
