Knitting Progress

capelet progress pictureYes, progress– much more progress in length and width than I expected (the measure is near the right front meets sleeve angle.) I was a little worried that changing the gauge would alter the angle of the raglan shaping and cause all sorts of disasters, but just by good luck it seems to have had little effect on the geometry. Yay!

BTW if you are insane and want to try the size 1 version the gauge is 6 stitches equals 1 inch, 7.25 rows equals 1 inch, and I started with a cast on of 132 inches for a 20″ neckline (if you’re doing the math on stockinette stitch, which would be 22″ you’ll realize this is because I did the neck in an inch of ribbing.) Place 4 stitch markers for the increases after 30 stitches, then 6, then 60, then 6– work in stockinette stitch increasing 1 on both sides of each stitch marker. (I’m knitting one below one stitch before the marker, then k 2 stitches– then knitting one below the last stitch knit. I know it sounds confusing but it is actually easier done that described.)

  3. I love your yarn, such pretty colours. You’ve done a great job figuring out how to adjust the pattern to suit your own taste.
