Skill level
Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
The design on the neck panel reminds michiyo of the way tree nuts grow between leaves on trees, which is why she named this pattern Kinomi, the Japanese word for trees nuts. The pattern is written for two lengths. The images show the shorter version, whilst the longer version is designed to cover the hip. Kinomi is worked in pieces separately from the bottom up. The neck band is made in two pieces in a contrasting color with the ends grafted and then sewn onto the body. Ribbing is added to the armholes and the piece is finishing with light steaming. This is a very easy pattern with minimal shaping.
