Hopi Blue and Burgundy Purple (Norwegian wool)

Yarn kit - complete with yarn and pattern

NO - EN

Jeg bruker ikke så ofte smykker, mest fordi det er upraktisk, og fordi jeg stort sett går i tykke gensere. Derfor hadde jeg lyst å designe en genser som ga meg følelsen av å ha på meg et smykke rundt halsen. Jeg lot meg inspirere av drømmefangere og ga gensenen et indiansk navn.

Gauge

10 cm of single-color stockinette stitch on 4.5 mm needles = 18 stitches

10 cm of stranded knitting on 5 mm needles = 18 stitches

Most people knit tighter when knitting stranded patterns than when knitting single-color stockinette stitch. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting stranded patterns. Gauge varies from person to person, so always knit a swatch before you begin.
