Knitting Patterns and Techniques for Creating a Unique Baxi with Color Transitions and Garter Stitch

Bay

Wolle: Zauberball Stärke 6 needle:5mm gauge:22M/30R = 10x10 cm length -inside: 1,57 m wide range at the top: 28 cm for the eyes: 2 beads or buttons The Baxi shown here is knitted with 2 patterns in different directions. So however arising within the pattern piece gentle color transitions, on the other pattern piece "hard edges". The samples used are briefly described here. Who would want to see the whole thing visually as well, which I have written this from Garnstudio and the corresponding Youtube videos. The knitting Scripture is read for the way from left to right and after the center piece from right to left. Those who have no color printer (like me) who gets discernible gray levels for the individual sections in the printout. Garder stitch grows each section to another short row while the moss is always the same width. For the snake tongue knit the middle two stitches for another 10 rounds or the desired length. Then bind off these with the two start stitches of the tongue and go on with binding off the rest of the middle part. The two beads / buttons for placing the snake eyes simply centered on the initial endmoss.

Pattern Overview

Pattern 1: Double seed/moss st When you work double seed st you have 2 K sts next to each other, and 2 K sts above each other. Also 2 P sts beside each other and 2 P sts above each other. Work 1st row like this: repeat P2, K2 until end of row. Second row: K over K and P over P. 3rd row: P over K and K over P. 4th row: As second row. Repeat row 1-4. http://vimeo.com/60235589 Pattern 2: Garter stitch When working garter stitch back and forth on needle you knit the stitches oneveryrow. http://vime0.c0m/4961980 Edge stitches in garter Edge sts in garter st - this is good when you want a nice firm edge on a piece that you later will sew inside or pick up sts from. Knit the edge sts on every row, and you will have your edge sts in garter st. http://vime0.c0m/11367420 Sometimes a pattern may call for short rows to shape the garment. Short rows are only partially worked before turning. Work number of sts told in pattern, turn, lift the first stitch, tighten thread strong, so that you become a double mesh, work the row back. When knitting next row and passing the short row turn, knit the double mesh as one mesh. Here you can see examples for short row knitting: www.youtube.com/embed/iyz8aCIRWU?feature=playerembedded
