Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors

Product Information

The yarn types I usually use for the Wilderness Sweater are Alafosslopi from Istex, Blåne and Troll from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Alafosslopi is an Icelandic yarn that contains top and undercoat from the sheep. This makes the sweater water-resistant and perfect for tough conditions. Troll and Blåne are also great yarns for outdoor use. There are several reasons for this. Newly knitted sweaters are very stiff and uncomfortable to wear. The pattern is also often a bit dented. After washing, the fibers "relax" and the wool becomes softer and the pattern becomes completely even. When the wool is wet, you also have the opportunity to stretch in shape. I usually stretch the support piece so that it is completely even.

The beginning of the round is behind the left sleeve. So to find out where you need to start to get the pattern centered, you must first mark in the middle of the front of the sweater.

Hurray! You are now done with the tiring bit. Now you should only knit solid-colored straight stitches for the body when the stated size. With new knitters, it is common to lose stitches, or to make new stitches along the way. Count that the number of stitches is correct. If you have lost stitches without retrieving them, take a small needle and thread with yarn and retrieve the stitch. Then sew the stitch together with the stitch above and sew in the thread on the inside of the sweater. If, on the other hand, you have managed to increase the number of stitches by accident, these must be folded together by knitting stitches evenly on the next round. You cast off stitches by knitting two stitches together. It's a perfect time of year to go through and give your favourite knitwear some love, maybe a refresh before you are wearing it again in the winter. So with this blog post I will take you through how ... The report is on 6 stitches so then you mark a stitch, count 5 and mark the 6 stitches, count 5, mark the 6 stitches etc. until you get to the beginning of the round.

If you find that you have to cast off for example every 4.3 stitches, it may be a good idea to note how many stitches you have counted with a row counter. After you have finished knitting the first part of the diagram, cast off evenly. (There are apps you can use to make this as easy as possible if you prefer.) If you are completely fresh and have not quite gotten the knitting into your fingers yet, I recommend that you drop the pattern at the bottom and knit body and sleeves in one color so that you get the straight stitches into your fingers before you start on the pattern on the carrier piece.You can also use stitch markers to mark every 5 stitches so you know exactly where to cast off, and you do not have to count during casting. This takes a little longer, but then you are sure to drop the correct number. When I have an idea for a knitting design, I start drawing. The original idea might turn out to be completely different in the end. Woodland Crib Bedding Set, Forest Animals, Baby Boy Crib Bedding Set, Woodland Nursery, Boy Nursery Bedding, Mountain, Forest Nursery There are many different methods to knit a pattern. Some like to have the threads on the pointers, while some like to have one in each hand. Search youtube for "fair isle knitting" or "how to knit colorwork". Find the method that suits you best. It is very common to knit much tighter with several threads, so try to relax your hands. You may also want to increase the needle size of the pattern to get the right knitting tension.

Pilgrim Sweater Polar is the heavier weight version of the Pilgrim Sweater and knit in a combination of Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Blåne and Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Troll. Do you think knitting tension was a little scary, I recommend that you knit your first sweater and you can also worry about knitting strength for sweater no. 2! The easiest way to get the pattern centered is to mark each and every stitch to be knitted in pattern color from the middle of the front of the sweater until you get to the beginning of the round. When you have finished knitting the rib, you must both change the needle size and increase the stitches.Tip: If you have a tendency to knit very loose ribs, you can knit "Twisted straight" or "twisted purl" to make the rib tighter. I like the ribs really tight so I often knit twisted purl.
