Yarn: Novita Wool (150 g = 135 m, 100% wool)
Gauge: 23 st = 10cm
Skeins: 3
Needle: 3mm and 3,5mm
Right leg:
Cast on 52 and divide on smaller (3mm) double ended needles. Work as circular knit. *Knit 1 Purl 1* for 3cm. On the last row add 10 stitches = 62.
Cast on 52 and divide on smaller (3mm) double ended needles. Work as circular knit. *Knit 1 Purl 1* for 3cm. On the last row add 10 stitches = 62.
Change to size 3.5mm needles and begin the cable pattern as follows: Knit 8s, knit the cable pattern according to the chart, knit 37. Add 1stich at the beginning of 1st and 1 at the end of 4th needle first every 6th row for 4 times, then every 4th row for 8 times = 86 stiches. After knitting 21cm cast off at beginning of 1st needle and end of 4th needle: 1x4, 1x2 and 2x1 every second row = 70 stiches.
"Cross 3 to left" = Slip 3st on cable needle and hold in front; knit 3, knit 3 from cable needle
Left leg:
Knit the left leg as a mirror image to right leg.
Crotch: After finishing both legs take them both on a circular needle = 140s. Continue the cable patterns on the front. When the crotch part is 17cm long, change back to smaller needles, *knit 1 purl 1* for 6cm. Cast off.
Finishing:Sow the crotch seams. Knit 2 straps: Cast on 9. *K1, P1* for 24cm. Sow on the straps on at the back and attach the poppers on the front side.
Here's the original pattern (in Finnish): Cabled pants
voi kun on söpöt =)
ReplyDeletePattern is very confusing -- do you use the above cable pattern for six rows and what do you mean by a 4th Needle -- can you help Me~~~~Sandy 1/2/2013
ReplyDelete"Cast on 52 and divide on smaller (3mm) double ended needles" = 4th needle is the fourth double pointed needle. Or if working on cable needle just add one at the start and at the end of the increase row.
DeleteThe cable pattern has 7 rows in total but the increase rows do not follow the cable pattern.
Hope this helps, I only translated this from the original pattern with small changes of my own and this is as well as I can explain it.
If it's too tricky then just don't do it, that's what I'd do :)
How do you do the crotch decreases? I am not using four needles, I am using 3, and what do you mean by "1x4, 1x2 and 2x1 every second row"??
ReplyDeleteI think "1x4, 1x2 and 2x1 every second row" means that you are going to start working flat.For the next 8 rows work as follows:
ReplyDeleteRow 1: bind off 4 stitches in knit, work to end
Row 2: bind off 4 stitches in purl, work to end
Row 3: bind off 2 stitches in knit, work to end
Row 4: bind off 2 stitches in purl, work to end
Row 5: bind off 1 stitch in knit, work to end
Row 6: bind off 1 stitch in purl, work to end.
Row 7: bind off 1 stitch in knit, work to end
Row 8: bind off 1 stitch in purl, work to end
All the while keeping up with the cable pattern as established. You should now have 70 stitches on the needles
