Date: Sun, 25 Jan 1998 23:43:32 -0500 From: The Yarn Kollection (yarn@cyberenet.net) Subject: [BOND] Beret instructions Ok, here it is. Just as a warning note, I didn't do this on the Bond but since I used to use one I included the changes necessary for a Bond. I tend to take short cuts when writing patterns so if anyone doesn't understand it let me know.
Beret (bulky machine) Redheart Worsted Weight Yarn Tension 5 (Bonders use KP#3) Guage 15sts & 23rows = 4" Cast on 101 sts with WY Knit 15-20 rows of WY to allow room for decreases at top With MY K26R (any intarsia or patterns can be worked in this area) Row 27 inc 6 sts evenly spaced over row, K2R Row 29 inc 7 sts evenly spaced over row, K3R Row 32 dec to 107 sts K3R Row 35 dec to 101 sts K3R Row 38 dec to 94 sts K3R Row 41 dec to 86 sts K3R Row 44 dec to 75 sts K3R Row 47 dec to 68 sts K3R Row 50 dec to 60 sts K3R Row 53 dec to 54 sts K3R Change to tension #3 after these 3Rows (Bonders might try KP#2) Row 56 dec to 40 sts K2R Row 58 dec to 28 sts K2R Row 60 dec to 14 sts K2R Row 62 dec to 7 sts K1R Cut MY leaving 18" tail, weave through sts still on needles and remove from machine, draw tight. You will use this for sewing the seam later. Using MY sts from WY place those 101 sts onto 67 needles, you will have 33 needles with 2 sts on them. Keep on tensions #3 (Bonders should use KP#3 for this ribbing, remove every other stitch across row, K12R, latch up empty needles, be careful not to miss a doubled stitch). K12R 1X1 Rib, bind off back stitch technique. Sew seam and hat is finished. - -- "The journey isn't just the sights you see." P. Larkin
