Techniques
Lateral Braid tutorial
This tutorial is really great and the visuals are really good, please check it out via the Knittingilove podcast channel with Barbara.
Skills:
Knitting in the round, 2x2 ribbing, lateral braid, stranded colourwork, decreasing (s1, k1, psso, k2tog, p2tog), picking up stitches, slip stitches, reading charts, grafting.
It’s knitted cuff down and begins with a 2x2 rib cuff, with a delicate dividing lateral braid then a gradient colourwork pattern throughout the leg and then into 3x3 ribbing and stocking stitch for a bit of simplicity and ease. With my preferred heel and gusset for comfort, stability and a cracking fit. Plus a slip st pattern in the heel for strength and longevity
Due to the larger colourwork pattern repeat the design is knit to one size with a tension/gauge chart to help you aim for a tension and leg circumference that suits you or your needs.
