COMPLIMENTARY STITCHSAVER™ ROW CHECKER

Designer Knitting Pattern
This designer knitting pattern created for 100% hemp yarn is light, airy and washable. It is written with just the right amount of ease to provide a comfy, casual fit. Worked from the bottom up, the stripes are simple yarn over drop stitches, and the boatneck trim is created with twisted stitch ribbing. The sleeves are worked flat like the body and sewn in under armhole trim to hide the seam while creating a beautiful fashion detail.

This designer knitting pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a schematic for accurate blocking, and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

Yarn
Lana Knits’ allhemp6, 100% hemp, 165 yards,151meters, 3.5 oz./100 grams

Like linen, hemp is remarkably durable yet gets softer with each washing. And perhaps more importantly a perfect example of sustainability. It is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. An acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp, which is also frost tolerant and grows in all 50 states, including Alaska. Isn’t that amazing? While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. It is truly a wonder fiber.

On those summer nights when there is a bit of chill in the air or you’re on the beach at sunset, a light and airy wrap can feel just right. And when you’re traveling a versatile fashion accessory that doubles as a wrap or a scarf is the ideal addition to your wardrobe. The Jo Anne wrap/scarf is designed for Solo Lino, the almost unbelievably soft recycled linen. This sport weight wonder is a delight to knit and feels wonderful against your skin. The fact that the durable 100% linen gets softer with each washing means over time you’ll love it even more.

This truly simple project is designed to be relaxing. So, just cast on, then knit the same stitch every row and bind off. How’s that for relaxation?

A classic tank top that combines stockinette with narrow stripes of garter. It is a simple stitch repeat that encourages meditative knitting. The cotton fine yarn is soft and cool pima cotton with just a touch of the softest merino wool, which gives resilience to the yarn. This pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the front and back are separated for shaping the yoke and rejoined at the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck and armhole trim. The yarn is wonderful to work with and your creation will feel wonderful against your skin.
