How to knit A.1 in DROPS 150-12
In this DROPS video we show how to knit chart A.1 for the Dove poncho in DROPS 150-12.
There are two charts to this pattern, one is knitted in the right side and the other one in the left side, so that the garter st ridges are at the outermost edges each side, and the cables pull towards the middle of piece.
Chart A.1 is knitted at the outermost edge on left front piece and in the right side (the beginning of row) on the back piece.
On first row work chart A.1 over 22 sts, but since you inc 1 st on every 2nd row the number of sts in the chart will increase and the cable will therefore gradually move to the left, i.e. in over the section in stockinette st.
The 3 sts that are purled in the right side works right over each other all the way, but since you increase 1 st on every 2nd row following the chart this line will move slantwise towards the middle together with the cables.
We speed over long pieces of stitches and purl stitches.
This poncho is made in DROPS Nepal and DROPS Kid-Silk, in the video we knit with DROPS Snow.
