Silmu Arms
(c) Marianne Heikkonen 2010 I have many t-shirts and tunics that have 3/4 sleeves, so I needed something warm for my arms on chilly mornings. My very first designed pattern is quite simple but I think it is beautiful like little buds on spring.
Materials:
Yarn: Novita Luxus Cloud (50g = 100m) 2 skeins or Novita 7 Veljesta (150g = 300m) 1 skein or any Aran / 10 ply weight yarn. DPNs: 4 mm / US 6 Gauge: 20 sts stockinette $\l=$ 10 cm /4 inc
Right arm:
CO 32 sts, divide sts on 3 needles (8 -16 - 8). Join' to knit in round. Next 3 rounds: p rnd, k rnd, p rnd. From this point on k always I and III needles. When knitted app. 7cm / 2,5 ine, k I needle, k 1I needle like before and the marking yarn of the thumb on IHI needle (k 1, k the marking yarn between the 2nd and 7th sts, k 1). Continue like before. When knitted app. 14cm / 5,5 inc, lift the bar between the two last sts on I needle and between IlI needle's the first and the second sts. Repeat lifts every 4th rnd 9 times. After the last lifting round, k the last square round and the last 3 rows from the pattern. Last 3 rounds from the pattern: p rnd, k rnd, p rnd and BO in p rnd.
