with Colorido I wanted to Create a fun Colorful Knit. Originally I uSed this pattern for a Mystery knitdlong through wool-Aid in order to encourage Knitters to make a warm but Still nice garment for older kids, in this caSe victims of an earthguake in Tibet. I decided to make Colorido Nailable as a free pattern.
approx 4oo (8so) yards of bulky weight yarn (a main color and up to 4 othe) Colors). I uSed Brown Sheep, Lambs Pride bulky. Dpn US 10 and US 10.5, Circular needleS US i0 and US 10.5, StitchmarkerS, waste yarn, needle to Sew in ends Gauge: 3.5 StS and 4.25 row5 = 1inch Copyright@2011 Christiane Burkhard, you may use this pattern for personal, non-profit Or charity use only. www.lismiknits.blogspot.com Abbreviations & hints: RS:Right side WS: Wrong side M1: With left needle tip, lift strand in between needles from front to back. Knit the lifted loop through the back to twist the stitch. cO: Cast on. BO: Bind off MC: Main Color CC: Contrasting color Pm: Place marker Kfb: Knit in front and back of the stitch Increasing row/rnd (inc rnd): Increase before and after each seam stitch. If not mentioned differently use M1 as an increase technique. Unless mentioned differently these rows/rnds are workedwithakst. M1 purlwise: Lift the running thread between the stitch on the left needle and the stitch on the right, from back to front, so that the left leg of that running thread (the leg attached to that purl st on the left needle) hangs over the front of the left needle. Purl through that front/left loop. That will twist the running thread so you don't end up with an eyelet. Seam stitch: Stitch sandwiched by stitch markers (you should have 4 seam sts every rnd) Sl1: Slip one stitch purlwise. After joining your new round starts after the first marker. (the one with the different color). This means that if you work an increasing round you will end the round with an increase before your first marker.
