Triangles
Triangle action has been taking place the past week, mainly while I've been finding out just who exactly killed Florence Teller (from this book). Today I piled up my scrap-yarn triangles to take some pictures before blocking them. This time, I blocked by wetting them thoroughly, squeezing out the excess water, arranging them on a doubled carwash towel, and pressing them on low heat for a few seconds. Made them lie flat nicely. I still haven't woven in the ends yet, as you can see...
Because I'm not quite sure how I'm going to put them together. But I still wanted to see what a bunting might look like, so I experimented like this ::
Which I like very much. The pattern for these little isosceles is as follows ::
Cast-on 10 stitches
Row 1 :: Knit across
Row 2 :: Purl across
Row 3 :: K2tog, K across until 2 st remain unworked, K2tog
Row 4 :: P across
Row 5 :: K across
Row 6 :: P across
Row 7 :: K2tog, K until 2 st remain unworked, K2tog
Row 8 :: P across
Row 9 :: K across
Row 10 :: P across
Row 11 :: K2tog, K until 2 st remain unworked, K2tog
Row 12 :: P across
Row 13 :: K2tog twice
Cut yarn, thread end through two remaining loops on needle, and pull tightly to finish off.
Quite simple, and the ratio works. Have fun! :)
