The Hydrangeas are from my new garden – they are aging spectacularly!
Note – I made a couple of changes the original blog post – stitch count is 370 at the end of the last row. I also suggested a different style of needle to make the first rounds work a little more easily.
Here are the next two rounds. The body pattern should be ready by Wednesday.
Transition Rounds
Round 1 – * K3, YO, K1, YO, K1, (YO, K2tog) 3 times, YO, K1, YO, K3, slm, K2tog (YO, Ktog) 84 times, slm, repeat from * once more – 380 st. stitch count moves like this 19, 169, 19, 169. The long sides each lost a stitch.
From this point he stitch count will increase by 4 sts on each end, every other round, 8 sts total and the side stitch count will remain the same.
Round 2 – purl.
My pattern Metro was knit using the same techniques as we are working with the Quickie pattern.
The yarn was a Freia Shawl Ball x 2
Other knitting play this weekend includes exploring a new (to me) dipp style stitch.
The yarn is my hand-dyed wool for the spring shawl – which may now be sprinkled with flowers!
Happy Knitting!
Lynette
