Yarn kit - complete with yarn and pattern

Norwegian - English

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.

Sizes S (M) L (XL) XXL

Gauge

10 cm of plain stockinette stitch on 4.5 mm needles = 18 stitches

10 cm of colorwork on 5 mm needles = 18 stitches

Most people knit tighter when doing colorwork than when knitting plain stockinette stitch. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting colorwork. Gauge varies from person to person, and always knit a swatch before you begin.

Yarn Lettlopi from Istex
