MARITIME
By Lynne Ashton The inspiration behind Maritime is the coastal area of Hampshire, UK where Ilive. Portsmouth and Southampton are the two closest cities and they both have long histories of shipping both Military and Commercial. The Moss/Seed stitch edges represent beaches; the open wavy middle mesh represents...waves ? and the bottom edge represents the “white horses" - waves breaking. As with a lot of open mesh/lacy knitting your work will blossom once it's blocked.
After seeing all the test knits and sample versions, I think this pattern suits a solid or semi-solid yarn colour. It would also look fab in a solid or semi-solid with some sparkle in it. This, of course, is only my opinion. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my test knitters, Deanne, Cindy and Will....thank you Ladies. Maritime isa rectangular wrap. You work the pattern (when the right side is facing you) with the top edge on your ight and the bottom edge on your left. There are pattern details for 2 versions, one narrower than the other. 17" wide and 65" long cast on 77 stitches 13" wide and 67" long cast on 59 stitches Yarn: 4ply 425m or 400m to 100gm Needles: 4mm/US6 and 3.75mm/US5 needles Notions: Large eyed tapestry needle Gauge: Gauge is not important, but the feel of the fabric is. Depending on the yarn you use, you may want to use 3.5mm/US4 needles and in this case cast-on with a 3.75mm/US5

Remember this Pattern Tips 1- If you print this pattern off do it in colour, if you can, as I have put the different sections of each row in different colours to try and help you follow things. 2-I know some of the lines of pattern instructions are in smaller print than others - this is to try and get allof each rows info on One line. s marker it is a reminder to check this - when you are working a purl row (ws) and come to th Is row, work k1, p1 into it every time.
