It’s Week 7 of the Knit-a-Long!
First of all let’s have a look at how everyone got on with last week’s honeycomb pattern. Wnelcome to blog follower Liz who is knitting her blanket in yellow, aqua and white.
Here’s R’s pink and white…
…and L’s salmon pink
They all look great!
Here’s mine.
This week Yvonne has brought us a lacy pattern – it should look like the yellow stripe in the pic at the top of the post.
Yvonne writes, “Hi guys, it’s that time of week again and ready for the next part. I hope you all enjoyed last week’s instalment and didn’t find it too hard. This week we are changing the tempo and having a bit of lace and no cable needles in sight but we still have to count very carefully. Not that much to it but we do have long rows, it’s done over 4 sts and in 4 rows repeat so have fun.”
Week 7
The abbreviations for this week are:
Yf yarn forward which means put yarn round the needle.
Sl slip one so you slip the next st onto the other needle.
K2tog knit 2 together which I think is self explanatory.
PSSO pass slip st over again I think it explains itself.
Here we go.
Row 1. K2, (yf, sl, k2tog, psso, yf, k1) repeat what’s in brackets as far as you can remembering the 8 garter st at beginning and end.
Row 2. P.
Row 3. K1, k2tog, yf, k1, (yf, sl, k2tog, psso, yf, k1) repeat to end.
Row 4. P.
These 4 rows form pattern so repeat rows 1-4 again then the first 2 and that’s all there is to it.
Just remember to count carefully and also the borders and I will speak to you next week. Happy knitting guys.
Yvonne
