2 colour Knit-in or Fair isle. Back |
This Fairisle pattern produces short floats so there would be no fear of snagging... So this would be a great pattern for Baby sweaters and blankets, socks, or mitts. Both sides are equally usable and if you used a heavier or textured yarn for the second colour it could be quite attractive on a cuff or a collar.. |

Lock card on one row. Knit 2 colours front |
Lock card on one row. Knit 2 colours back |
To create the stripping effect...Lock the card on one row... Changing the yarn in feeder A every few rows, but leaving the same yarn in feeder B, causes the background to stripe as well . This could be used for the front band on a sweater or the hem of a tunic or sleeve, the top of a pocket in place of ribbing, as well as a neck band.. This is a fairly sturdy knit and again the floats are short so could be used in an all over pattern on a baby outfit or even a baby blanket... the back is not as nice but looks like woven fabric... |
This is the same as the pattern above except that every 4 rows I unlocked the pattern Card and knit 4 rows and then locked it again and knit 4 rows... etc. |
