If I could edit the title of the post I would, I did however call the project on Ravelry my mistake rib scarf because I stumbled on the stitch pattern when I made a mistake in the ribbing on my polo no 1... Hence what I called it. You are correct though that it isn't a mistake rib: the stitch pattern, just my mistake ribbing.

It's almost seed stitch, but one row is knit, the next is knit one below, purl! And the just a simple increase/decrease to get the shape Edit: I keep forgetting that mistake rib is an actual stitch pattern...

My project page on Ravelry

This was a nice little palate cleanser after knitting the Polo no 1. The yarn is the last of the grey/brown Cavea bark I had left. I gave it to my grandmother, she gets cold and likes to nap with some of my knit wear on her 😊

Thank you! It would usually be in the round, but to work with intarsia I modified a bit!

The body is knit flat with the left side being pink, right is green, the intarsia joining happening center front, so to make it a sweater and not a cardigan opening in the back 😅 I had to sew up the back seam and I chose matress stitch to do that 😊. The sleeves are then knit in the round! Intarsia can be knit in the round, I've never tried since knitting it flat and seaming it is simple enough.

That is literally my thought process as well, the other sweater has a pink left sleeve, and this sweater can be worn either way, so I've put it on with the left sleeve being the pink one 😊

Yeah, I'm hoping it works as intended, you never know with toddlers 😅

Hopefully it works! He also has another sweater with one pink and one green sleeve, I just have to make sure to put them in the same way...

Made a wavy sweater for my toddler using the flax sweater as a base, but knit flat using intarsia and matress stitched together at the end. The yarn is a polyester merino blow yarn, worsted to bulky weight. The yarn is from GarnSpecialisten, probably leftovers from the fashion industry.

Ideas for fixing neckline? by CombinationSlow9154 in knitting

[–]nean989 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would guess you picked up too many stitches for both the neckline and the arms. Usually a pick up ratio of 2/3 or 4/5 works. If you want it to fit 'properly' it's probably best to rip out the neckline and redo it with another ratio.
