Casting on a Seam Stitch
WOOLWIND/INTARSIA This technique is used to knit blocks of different colours, avoiding the extra bulk of Fair Isle knitting. When using this method, you will need a separate ball for each section of colour. The colour twist method involves twisting the different coloured yarns over each other to prevent holes. Twist the colour to be used underneath and to the right of the colour just used. Always change colours on the wrong side of the work so colour change does not show on right side.

Dress is knit straight from hem to neck (except for neck shaping and if desired armhole shaping) using three different stitch patterns. Skirt is a double bed tuck pattern which changes to 1:1 rib 3" below the waist, has a casing for elastic at the waist, changes to stocking stitch for the bodice. Neckline is your choice, the model was a slight scoop. The sleeves are stocking stitch with 1:1 rib at the wrist. The collar is the same pattern as the skirt or you could knit the sleeves in the same tuck pattern as the skirt. You can change the sleeve to the lace pattern and also change the collar to stockinette – it’s your choice, just make the necessary adjustments to the pattern. Knit three swatches and calculate the following gauges: (Passap knitters: You may want to do the stocking stitch swatch on the back bed - see the note under Bodice). Stocking stitch --- stitches/inch - A = . rows/inch - B = . 1:1 rib rows/inch - C = . Tuck stitch rows/inch - D = . The tuck pattern is a double bed pattern with needles tucking on the main bed and knitting on the other bed. -

Circular Cast-On
Circular Cast-on I like this cast-on – it's absolutely perfect for top-down Hats, as not only does it reduce the hole at the crown, but it also mirrors how you would cast-off in a bottom-up Hat. When you knit a bottom-up Hat and get to the last few stitches, the instructions will most often tell you to cut the yarn and thread it through the remaining stitches and then tighten to close. Doing this reduces the hole at the crown and effectively casts-off all the stitches at once. This circular cast-on does just that, but the opposite way round! Mechanically it works in the opposite but same way to threading the yarn through and tightening – instead you are casting on the stitches over the yarn, which is what allows you to neaten up so easily. Once you've knitted a few rounds after casting on this way, you'll be able to pull the yarn end and the hole will close up and look perfect. You will need a crochet hook, one as close as possible to the size you will be using for the knitting. You could use a slightly smaller hook, as the stitches will be tightened anyway, but a hook that is too small will make the first rounds knitted onto the cast-on tricky. Likewise with a hook that's too big, the first few rounds will be a bit saggy until the hole is tightened. 1. With the end of your yarn, make a loop by 2. -

Pilling Performance and Abrasion Characteristics of Selected Basic Weft Knitted Fabrics
Muhammet Akaydin, Yahya Can Pilling Performance and Abrasion Characteristics of Selected Basic Weft Knitted Fabrics Pamukkale University, Abstract Denizli Vocational Scholl, The aim of this study was the determination of the effects of dyeing, knit construction and Denizli, Turkey the thread yarn production type on the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of E-mail: [email protected] selected basic weft knitted fabrics. For this aim jersey and interlock fabrics were produced from 100% cotton ring and compact yarns. Some of the fabrics produced were dyed. The abrasion resistance and pilling performance of raw and dyed fabrics were measured. The results obtained were classified according to the knit construction, whether the fabric was raw or dyed, and the properties of the yarn from which the fabric was produced. According to the results obtained, the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of interlock fabrics were found to be higher than those of jersey fabrics, those of dyed fabrics higher than those of raw fabrics, and those of fabrics produced from compact yarns were higher than those fabrics produced from ring yarns. Key words: abrasion resistance, compact yarn, pilling, weft knitted fabric.

Swatchcuff-1
Fair Isle Style Swatch Cuff Designed by Anne Frost The best way to swatch for a fair isle project is to use the yarn you intend to use for your project and knit in the round. Many experienced Fair Isle knitters will swatch by knitting a hat. But if you are planning to knit a hat, you may want to swatch using a smaller project. This pattern has been designed to allow knitters to test for gauge using a small swatch in the round and end up with something useful at the end: a wrist-warming cuff or a small mat. = Knit with background color = Knit with contrast color = Purl Materials Knitting the Cuff Small amounts of yarn in two colors.
