Knitting Kit for the Coco Shawl Panel Coal which is knitted in Mitres.Check out my YouTube video on Mitre Knitting to see how simple these Mitre squares are to knit. Mitres are knitted in two row colour stripes with a decrease over the centre 3sts - Slip 1, Knit 2 together, psso (pass slip stitch over), creating the Chevron and shape of the Mitre. This fabulous technique will build your confidence with picking up stitches, as this is how we join Mitre to Mitre, not sewing them together later. When striping the two colours both yarns are carried row to row. The Mitre knitting class is included with the knitting kit, the class will be emailed to you, allowing you to explore this technique, whilst the knitting kit is mailed to you. See webpage Mitres Coco Shawl Collar Coat with optional A line shaping at side seams. The knitting begins with three panels of Mitres, two fronts and one wider back. Stitches are then picked up from the edges of the Mitre panels, by placing markers 4"/10cm apart and picking up 22sts between the markers. These picked up stitches are worked first to the armhole cast off, then body continues to the side seam - this allows you to achieve any chest size, A line shaping may be added into side seam for extra hip ease. Knitting Kit: Includes the main colour and all contrast colours, knitting pattern with both written instructions and a diagram to work the Mitres in numerical sequence. Sizing: The pattern has five chest sizes, kits are packed as Small/Med and Large.Small/ Medium (size 1 to 3 of pattern) Chest 34" to 40"/ 84cm - 104cmLarger/ X Large (size 4 & 5 of pattern) Chest 42" to 47"/ 106cm to 120cmLength: 26" to 30" / 66cm - 78cm. Colourways MC - main colour - when there are 4 contrasts the MC is also used as a contrast. With MC with five colours the MC is not worked into the Mitres. Midnight is often mistaken for Navy, Midnight is a deep blue with a purple undertone. I rarely use dark navy, it can look heavy and flat, whilst Midnight balances the colour relationships in this design.Ocean HA58 - MC Midnight with Turkish, Sequoia, Jacaranda & Aegean.Berry FB77 - MC Midnight with Turkish, Ruby, Wine, Claret + midnight.Neutrals FW21 - MC Black with Cream, Steel Grey, Cloud, Tempest + Black.Fleck/Neutral - MC Granite with Cream, Steel Grey, Cloud, Tempest + Black.Sierra FC06 - MC Midnight with Khaki, Aubergine, Brick, Oxblood & Fox.Vineyard HF17 - MC Aubergine with Khaki, Wine, Sequoia, Claret & Plum.Trim: The cuff is knitted in Mitres, the sleeve is then picked up from the edge of the Mitred cuff. The Shawl collar is knitted in CG - Corrugated Garter, 2 rows St-st and 2 rows Reverse St-st and is sewn onto the coat, I like to leave the hem edge open to create the appearance of a scarf.
