Knitted on 2mm needles. Before washing, 24 stitches and 48 rows per 10cm square. After machine-washing and drying flat, 32 stitches and 48 rows per 10cm square. I'm going to assume a gauge of 30 stitches and 48 rows, to allow for a little stretching with wear (remember that the rows are the horizontal direction and the stitches the vertical, since this is knitted sideways). |

== The pattern == Use 2mm needles. The yarn is 2-ply hemp yarn in 6 colours: A, B, C, D, E, F. Size: one size fits Kake. ==== Back ==== Use the long-tail cast-on for a stretchy edge. Throughout these directions, work a [[chain selvedge]] on both sides, and wrap the next stitch after a short row. The back is worked left to right. <b>Cast on</b> 90 stitches in colour A. * <b>Row 1:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 1a, b, c, d:</b> K4, turn, P4, turn, K8, turn, P8, turn * <b>Row 2:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 2a, b, c, d:</b> P20, turn, K20, turn, P22, turn, K22, turn * <b>Row 3:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 3a, b:</b> K12, turn, P12, turn * <b>Row 4:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 4a, b:</b> P24, turn, K24, turn * <b>Row 5:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 5a, b, c, d:</b> K16, turn, P16, turn, K20, turn, P20, turn * <b>Row 6:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 6a, b, c, d:</b> P26, turn, K26, turn, P28, turn, K28, turn * <b>Row 7:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 7a, b:</b> K24, turn, P24, turn * <b>Row 8:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 8a, b:</b> P30, turn, K30, turn * <b>Row 9:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 9a, b, c, d:</b> K28, turn, P28, turn, K32, turn, P32, turn * <b>Row 10:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 10a, b, c, d:</b> P32, turn, K32, turn, P34, turn, K34, turn * <b>Row 11:</b> P to end * <b>Rows 11a, b:</b> K36, turn, P36, turn * <b>Row 12:</b> K to end * <b>Rows 12a, b:</b> P36, turn, K36, turn * <b>Row 13:</b> P to end <b>Change yarn</b> to colour B. |
Yarn bought from The House of Hemp, at the 2003 Knitting and Stitching Show. Each skein is 100g and cost £7. It is 2-ply and quite thin. I will probably use needles somewhere around 3mm.
I am planning to knit this sideways in stocking stitch so I can have nice wide vertical stripes. I will have to do a bit of maths to make sure that the colour joins work smoothly:
- on each shoulder seam
- at the side seam where I start and finish knitting
- where I join the sleeves to the body (this is the least important one)
A V-neck would be nice but possibly impractical for sideways knitting.
