#knitting chart

[ub-sessed]

One of my big accomplishments today was creating a double-knitting chart for a chickadee:

Hopefully someday I'll get around to knitting it!

You are welcome to use it if you want, as long as you credit me.

Remember that the stitches in double knitting are wider than they are high, so if you try to use this chart for a different technique you will end up with an unusually tall chickadee.

The second of my Discworld Words Scarves, following on from the 'How Do They Rise Up' scarf I uploaded [Here].

If/when I knit it, I’ll use the double knitting technique with 3.25mm needles and dk weight yarn.

Formal request for knitting chart makers to include numbers for blocks of one colour/stitch longer than 5

I'm sure this has been done before, but: tiniest possible Tolkien monogram I can diagram in stitchfiddle. (Part of a larger project.)

Plaid chart (and bonus bag recipes)

** Free Knitting Pattern!**

Materials -Needles to suit your wool -Colour A of yarn -Colour B of yarn -Tapestry/yarn needle for seaming Abbreviations St(s) = Stitch(es) CO = Cast on K# = knit # stitches P# = purl # stitches Sl # = Slip # stitches (move st(s) from left needle to right needle without K or P it) BO = Bind off YO, K2tog = Wrap yarn round needle once before taking the next two stitches and knitting them together. This should not change stitch count as you are creating one stitch, and a hole, for every stitch removed,

Chart (multiple repeat of 10 sts and 10 rows)

Instructions Select what you would like to knit with the plaid pattern. Ensure it is a multiple of ten sts if in the round, and five if worked flat so that the chart lines up correctly. Work the pattern as intended.

Using straight needles in a size that gives a firm fabric, CO 20sts in either colour.

Join second colour and work flat for 25 rows following chart. still following colour changes as dictated by chart, pick up and knit 20 sts along working and CO edge and 25 sts along both sides. 90sts. Join in the round and following the chart, work a further 24 rounds. Fo next row:

*YO, K2tog, K3* to end. Work a further 9 rounds then BO. Create I-cord or use ribbon, or braid, to thread through yarnovers to fasten bag.

Using circular needles in a size that gives a nice drape to the fabric (if lined) or a tight weave (if not lined), CO 150sts in either colour.

Join second colour and work in the round for 65 rounds following chart. Add optional chart, mine was 17 round high, or continue in plaid pattern for 17 rounds. Work further 8 rounds in chart. BO if preferred method, for this bag, I chose applied i-cord.

For handle, I cast on 10 sts and worked chart flat to desires length then lined with fabric.

totally unrelated to anything i post ever but i like crocheting and the idea of knitting. i once made a little colourwork piece of one of the album covers for From Under the Cork Tree and i thought to share it in case anyone wants to try it. someday ill make a jersey with this on it...

Credit if making isnt necessary but if you make this pleeeeeeeeease show me. i love fall out boy and ill die if anyone made this /pos info regarding the chart below cut (eg. yarn colours or whatever)

as you can see by the image i used StitchFiddle to just. add the graph lines and row numbers. just so yall dont have to go through that effort bc it took some finagling.

this chart is 30 stitches by 30 stitches (one pixel = one stitch) but depending on the stitch used, the method (if youre crocheting or knitting), or your tension or yarn, you might need to modify the stitches per pixel.

this was custom made by resizing the original album cover to 30 x 30 pixels and then cleaning the FUCK out of it. it is not "simply resized" bc itll be an unreadable mess if i just did that. therefore some aspects are slightly less accurate for the sake of readability, but i tried my best keeping it as accurate as possible.

i recall originally making this with i think Elle Pure Gold DK in mind for the colours. this was done to keep the colours limited and therefore so you wont have to buy 100 types of colours to just make the thing. obviously you can use any colours or yarn brands you want, i just used Elle Pure Gold because thats a yarn i have locally, so i could look at the yarns in-person to see what fits best.

Bookvest - Free Knitting Chart

I made this Bookvest based on the cover of the Penguin Classics – for one of my favourite works, “Hamlet”. It was a total hit when wearing it at a yarn event, and a book event. If you would like to make your own, I figured I would share the chart. I haven’t written down the pattern for the vest, but you can adapt the chart to fit within any of your favourite vest patterns.

A Project I started this Morning!

It’s either going to be a tank top or a baseball tee (I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it lol). Luckily since I’m working bottom up, i have plenty of time to decide. I’m just making it up as i go, as i typically do (it’s a bit of a bad habit that has me constantly frogging tbh) so there’s no pattern or anything, im just working from my measurements. I was doodling on stitch fiddle last night and ended up with this cute panda that i think would be really cute to put on the front!

I think I’ll put a saddle shoulder type thing on this one. I’m using 3.75mm Susan Bates circular needles and some Cascade cotton i bought from my local secondhand yarn shop for a dollar a skein! I’ve had a half finished project made out of this yarn just sitting in my closet for almost a year, but I just wasn’t very happy with it so finally decided to frog it and use the yarn. Very happy i did! I also split this yarn in half because it was a little chunky for the fabric i have in mind.

I only have white and green in this yarn, so I’m considering either using a different yarn for the motif or trying out natural dyeing for the first time! I did a presentation in my botany class last year about natural dye using local plants, and i didn’t get to actually use any of the knowledge i got from that because my life went to complete chaos. So now could be a fun time to try it out finally! If anyone has any advice or thoughts, I’d love to hear! Thank you for reading :)

Apropos of nothing, I found this fingerless mitt knitting pattern I drafted a few years ago and figured I may as well share it? The colourwork motifs can be applied to any pattern base, I wouldn't recommend knitting this exactly as written anyway as they aren't a great fit. I was a bit lazy about drafting the mitts themselves. But! The pattern is fun.

[safranknits]

Finished socks!  I wanted autumn appropriate socks for myself, and this is the result. I'm very happy with the fit and pattern.

I don't like knitting colorwork very much, but I finally figured out how to comfortably hold both strands in one hand, which is great.

Feel free to use the colorwork pattern for your own projects!

The satisfaction when you finish your knit and only have the washing and blocking left to do!

Pattern is the Illusion vest by EMRKNITS, i modified it to have a more boxy fit.

I used the Heritage 6 yarn by CascadeYarns

Took a month to complete, started it on January 15th, finished it on February 15th!

Another thing I noticed about my swatch was that my diagonal moss doesn't match the photos at all. One of the comments on Ravelry said to follow the chart rather than the written instructions (which I would have done anyway cuz I find it almost impossible to follow written patterns), but the chart doesn't look anything like the photos either:

So I compared the chart to the written instructions, and realized that whoever had created the chart had followed the written instructions as though this was being knit in the round, i.e. as though every row of the instructions is worked from the right side and from right to left. This is a seven-year-old paid pattern! Why wasn't this ever corrected?

Anyway, using the written instructions, I was able to create a new chart that matches the photos:

I am proud that I was able to identify and solve the problem, but cranky that I had to spend so much time fixing such an egregious error in a paid pattern. Like, when there are mistakes in a free pattern I figure you get what you paid for, but I paid for this! I'm also confused that the one person who commented on the error somehow gave the exact opposite of the solution.

ETA: @unexpectedyarns has pointed out to me that the chart might have been made this way ON PURPOSE. Just one more way that knitting has shown me how radically differently people's brains work.

I'm making the Isobel Wrap by OhKayKnits for my boss for Christmas because I love her and she loves scarves.

This is my little swatch:

What I'm noticing is that it's significantly narrower in the middle (knit-purl argyle: 2.3 stitches/cm) than at the ends (moss stitch: 2.1 stitches/cm). Is this because of my knitting or is it just a characteristic of those two stitch patterns? I'm assuming that the designer figured you can block out the difference (the pattern calls for a wool/alpaca blend), but I'm using acrylic yarn (Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Pine Green), so that's not an option. I figure when you're making something as a gift, the recipient shouldn't have to block it every time they wash it just to make it the right shape. So I'm adding a few increases and decreases. 🤞🏻

Owl Bear Chart

Materials -Yarn in two contrasting colours -Needles suitable for your yarn

Chart Work from the bottom of the chart up, changing colours as indicated. I worked the example in intarsia, but it will work in fair isle also. Use whichever method suits the item you are adding the chart too!

The chart is 39sts wide, and 44 rows tall. Recommend adding at least a further five stitches and rows on either side to create a nice even space around the design itself.

Have fun! And may an army of cute tiny Owl-Bears conquer the knitting world!
