Here's another geeky one.This pattern is made up algorithmically, it's a repeating pattern of 4 stitches x 4 stitches with knits and purls randomly assigned. I really like the way the pattern turned out, makes a good manly scarf. If you like it please check out my random tea cosy design too!

Needles One pair 4.5 mm/ US 7 needles.
Gauge 22st = 10cm in stocking stitch with 4mm/US 6 needles
Dimensions 5'' x 80''

I tried the "random stich" part of this pattern for an infinity and love it. I used (2)Patons Shetland Chunky tweed yarn, number 9 needles, and cast on 96 stitches. (You might want to make it a little larger?) The tweed looks great with the pattern. I admit I only looked at the pattern because my maiden name is Klein, but it was a great find!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds really nice. Are you on ravelry? I'd love to see some photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm not, but when I get some time and a camera, I'll give it a try. Thanks again for the idea/algorithm.
ReplyDeleteI did put my infinity on Ravelry today. I am bmwalker, and called the project Klein Infinity. It looks like taking good pics is a learned skill, but you will get the general idea.
ReplyDeleteCool, it's really nice! Might have to make one of these for myself.... Hehe, yep, taking good pictures of knitting is really hard!
