Easy Knitting Pattern SpinCraft Patterns specializes in
a type of knitting pattern originally designed to be used
with handspun yarn. The original challenge was in coming up
with a design that could be used with a wide
variety of gauges. This is because handspun yarn can be made
in any size. it does not come out of a machine -- so how the
heck can you find a knitting pattern that will come out in
the right size when using handspun yarn! Our solution was easy, and it turns out that many of these patterns can be knit on a knitting machine.
The answer is math! Just a few simple calculations can turn a
knitting project of one size into a completely different size.
After all a knit stitch is basically a small rectangle. Put a
whole bunch of them together in a three dimensional shape, and you
have a grid that can be made to any shape with just a few changes
in math, which changes the number of stitches. That grid is your knitting
pattern! And that is how we write our instructions here at
SpinCraft Knitting Pattern.
A knitting pattern from our
online
catalog is sure to please. We
have come up with a a special way to present a knitting project. You
will find that you are able to design your own knit wear after
working a pattern or two, because we give you the designers
math and calculations. We have a great variety of shapes to make,
and you (the actual creator of the piece) have unlimited options
in deciding what knit or crochet stitch to add to your piece. You
can knit lace, or cables, or add great colors to your creation.
One pattern can turn into a hundred creations!
When you try a knitting pattern from us, you start by measuring
the person who is going to be wearing the piece. Then you take
your yarn and needles and knit a swatch in your chosen knitting
stitch pattern. Now, measure your swatch for gauge and you are ready for
some simple calculations to get the right fit.
For instance, check out the chart
to the left for a saddle shoulder knitting pattern. It can
be made to any size by figuring out J stitches for any size.
If your hips are 36" and your yarn gives a gauge of 4
sts per inch. Then J=144.
If your hips are 44 and your gauge is 6 sts per inch,
then J=264.
Its just that simple!!!
