I’ve been trying to get this pattern send to my Gmail, unfortunately all three attempts (three different gmails) have been unsuccessful. Even if I increased in every other stitch, I would still only have 18 stitches by the end of the round. Use your little needle (pick) to lift the bottom loop over the top loop created with your working yarn and drop it into the hole. There was an extensive test knit and there are tutorials available for all techniques you need here on my blog.

The second was not fully understanding the KLL instruction – for the increase my traditional habit would have been to knit into the stitch below the next/last one, and that doesn’t work for your pattern. This project is perfect for the person who has learned the basics of knitting and is looking for their next challenge. They use recyclable material whenever possible, and their packing process is now 100% plastic-free - Rex London use paper tape, recycled cardboard boxes, and paper wrap rather than bubble wrap. Those who are following me on Instagram (do so now, if you always want to be notified of new patterns right away) probably saw me tinkering around with this pattern for quite a while.This kit will appeal to crafters of all abilities, including those just starting out, and anyone looking for an imaginative gift. I don’t like it all that much as it tends to stretch stitches too much and slipping isn’t all that hard. Corinne has sought inspiration from traditional folk designs which are so pleasing to the eye and have timeless appeal. As written in the version I have (K1, *kll, k3, kll, k3*, k3), my knitting gave me 9,9,10,9 stitches per needle.

I would like to knit the Porcini, but it seems that I can’t access old patterns although I am a subscriber and received the newest pattern by newsletter. Nicely made and painted and I really like that it has a well shaped wooden stick for lifting the loops over. If I understand the goal of the row, we should increase 2 stitches on each needle to get a total of 9 per needle.

You will find an easy to follow instruction at the beginning, and another version where things might get a bit more tricky and you will be knitting on two sets of dpns at the same time for more advanced knitters. I arranged them in my little fake forest here in my studio, but ultimately I put them under a cloche and let me sit on the windowsill. For some reason, I’ve got it into my head that I wanted the gills to dive/converge into the center (the real amanitas have a hemispherical shape as well), but that proved to be quite difficult without showing the increases and, usually, knitting just doesn’t behave like that when stuffed. If you have been looking around my blog, you might have seen the one or other post about mushrooms already. Simply leave your details and we‘ll drop you a friendly reminder about their birthday and a few gift ideas.
