I like the look of
this stitch, but it's difficult to knit it without pulling in a bit. As a result, the hood of my hooded scarf looked skimpy and ungenerous:
Ah well, if you experiment, you have to expect that some experiments don't work. I undid most of it and am reknitting the hood in moss stitch
I left the pick up stitches the same, but made a row of eyelets above them and then increased the number of stitches. Hopefully the hood will be snuggly and capacious! When it's done, I'm going to dye the whole garment. Let's hope that's more successful than my choice of stitches, it won't be as easy to undo.
I think it's beautiful so far!! :)
ReplyDeleteI get it, and sorry I was away for a while, I like the idea of dyeing it afterwards sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry you had to frog ;/ I agree with you, experimenting is risky... but so rewarding when it works! Dyeing is such fun. Not easy to undo indeed, but you can always overdye if you don't like your first try :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing that you are willing to experiment with patterns inspires me to give new things a try. I'll be interested to read about the dyeing.
ReplyDeleteYou are always amazing wiith your experimenting and not becoming discouraged. I like your knitted stitches and this hooded scarf will be wonderful. <3
ReplyDeleteYour earlier stitch is nice and can perhaps be used in some other project.
ReplyDeleteGood Decision going with the moss stitch!
I love the moss stitch - it is pretty, has a great texture, is not boring to knit, and has stretchability.
Jane I like the new stitch shown in first figure, it looks like Tunisian crochet stitch hold vertically. I made a sample.Thanks for sharing. You can experiment this stitch at some other place.
