knitting a flat pattern in the round
Hi guys!
I'm about to start this project: http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns2/c...-hatmitts.html. It calls for doing it flat and sewing up a seam for the hat. I much prefer to work in the round. Is there anything I need to know to modify the pattern in order to do this? Thanks guys! Wendy a Knitting Fool in Connecticut |

Ugh. That might mess me up if I'm not paying strict attention. Ick. |

No, row 1 is R to L and row 2 is L to R.... when knitting in the flat. To knit in the round you do R 1 (3, 5, etc) as they're written, R to L, but the even rows have to be reversed, which you might also be able to read R to L. I don't do much with charts, so someone else will have to confirm that. Ugh. That might mess me up if I'm not paying strict attention. Ick. Yeah, it could get off just a bit.... sue |

Try this ,,, knitting looks like VVVVVVVVV thus you know that on one side it is knit But the other side looks like ~~~~~~~~~ But if you knit first row and purl back it still will look on one side like this VVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVV and the other side like this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ you decided that you always look at the outer side but will know what to do if you are on the other side [ =purl back ] mirjam On Tue, 05 Jun 20 07 03:47:46 -0700, myswendy wrote: On Jun 4, 10:28 pm, (Mirjam Bruck-Cohen) wrote: Or you could DRAW the pattern as is and that it a matter of looking at signs not letters either way you choose ,,,, mirjam I'm just starting to learn how to read schematics---I think that might be "out of the frying pan, into the fire" for me at this moment.
