-
- The Kirman pullover was inspired by the
beautiful symmetry and colors of Oriental carpets.
-
- The back ground in the main pattern stays the
same - a beautiful deep heather rust - while the motifs on the foreground
shade from gold to green to green/blue to blue and then to black. The
borders around the bottom, across the top and at the cuffs mimic the small
border patterns of the carpets as well.
-
- The sweater was designed with comfort as well
as beauty in mind. The tunic styling is flattering to all figures. The
neckline, with the short V-neck and placket also make it attractive and
easy to slip on and off. Finished off with the frog closure completes the
Oriental theme.
-
- The sweater is knit in the traditional Fair
Isle method with no more than 2 colors per row and few long runs of any
one color. It is knit completely in the round; steeks are added to all
openings. Shaped edgings are made to prevent curling up of the edges and
facings are made to cover all cut steek stitches.
-
- The sweater can be made in the three listed
width sizes and the three sleeve lengths can be switched to fit the right
width.

This is our latest sweater
pattern which was featured in the Winter 2003 edition of Spin-Off
magazine. We only offer the pattern for this fantastic sweater. Nancy models
the sweater in the above photos.
The yarn for this
sweater was handspun with fiber I bought on a trip to New Zealand. Each
lace pattern was chosen to remind me of my journey in some way.
 |
The center panel was
chosen because it reminded me of the waves on the pebbly shores of the
Banks Peninsula. |
|
The cables winding
upward reminded me of the paths the sheep created over the hills.
|
|
The openwork ladders
represent the lakes that lay between the mountains that I saw on my trip
over the Southern Alps. |
|
The circles on the
ends remind me of the circle of friendship for all the friends I made on
the trip, and the little open flecks are the raindrops that were ever
present, but never depressing. |
Though I used handspun,
the yarn I made was a typical DK weight yarn. Any yarn that knits to the
below specifications, can be used.
Finished
measurements:
44” chest, 24” long,
sleeve length 18”
Materials:
- Needles: #3 (3.25mm), #5 (3.75mm) 24”
or 32”circular, #3 (3.25mm) 16: circular
Yarn: DK weight, 13 WPI approximately
1500 yards.
Cable needle, ring markers, tapestry
needle
Gauge:
5.5 stitches/inch
stockinette, 6 stitches/inch in pattern, 7.75 rows/inch
We do not offer a kit
for this sweater since our Digit yarn is not a DK weight. However, we do
sell the pattern. There is only one size included in the pattern (44"). You
may modify it yourself if you need another size.
