Circular needles 4 mm (60 & 80 cm)
Circular needles 8 mm (60 & 80 cm)
Tapestry needle
TEXTURED STRIPE PATTERN
To create the textured effect, work as follows:
6 rows/rounds in stockinette stitch using Peer Gynt on needle size 4 mm.
2 rows/rounds in stockinette stitch using Peer Gynt and Wow! Fluffy held together on needle size 8 mm.
Throughout the project, you will need to switch needle sizes, to make the task easier, you can use interchangeable needles if you have them.
GAUGE
Neckline pre-blocked gauge : 22 sts x 32 rows =10 x 10 cm in Twisted Rib, on needle size 3.75 mm
Neckline post-blocked gauge : 23 sts x 30.5 rows =10 x 10 cm in Twisted Rib, on needle size 3.75 mm
Average body post-blocked gauge: 13.75 sts x 19 rows =10 x 10 cm in ‘’ Pattern’’, on needle size 4 and 8 mm
NOTE: To measure your stitch gauge: measure the stitches on the knitted portion with Peer Gynt yarn on 4 mm needles (15.5 sts = 10 cm in my swatch), measure the stitches knitted with Peer Gynt + Wow! Fluff held together on 8 mm needles (12 sts = 10 cm in my swatch).
Add your measurements and then divide the result by 2 (15.5 + 12 = 27.5 / 2 = 13.75). The average gauge is therefore
13.75 sts = 10 cm.
