How to Knit with Lana Grossa Difuso Yarn: Patterns and Instructions
You’ll Need:
250 (300)g of grey-brown/black Lana Grossa Difuso yarn (75% cotton, 25% polyester; 205m/50g);
Knitting needles 4.5.
Size:
S (M).
Used Patterns
Chain Edge:
1st st of every row as knit st. Slip the last st of every row as purl (yarn in front of needle).
Lace Pattern:
Work according to the scheme.
Start with selvage st before the 1st arrow, 12 sts of pattern repeat between arrows, finish with selvage st after the 2nd arrow. Repeat 1st-18th rows.Stitches Control:
Lace pattern across: 20.5 sts x 28.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
Lace pattern straight for sleeves: 24 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Instructions
Back and ½ Sleeve:
Start with the right sleeve. For this, cast on 50 sts and work with the lace pattern with chain edge = 4 pattern repeats. In 20 cm = 54 rows from the set-up row, cast on 84 sts from the left side for the back = 134 sts and work with the lace pattern straight = totally, 11 pattern repeats. In 44 (50) cm = 126 (144) rows = (7 (8) x 18 rows) width of back, bind off 84 sts = 50 sts along the left side. Now, make the left sleeve in symmetry to the right. In 20 cm = 56 rows from the beginning of the sleeve (in the 2nd row of pattern), bind off sts loosely.
Front and ½ Sleeve:
Make in the same way as back with ½ sleeve, but start with the left sleeve and finish with the right sleeve in symmetry.
Assembly:
Make seams, leaving 28 cm in the center open for neck-hole.
