Knitting Techniques and Stitches

The Wooded Glen patterns employ classic knitting techniques suitable for creating refined, wearable garments. Key stitching methods featured throughout the collection include:

• Seed Stitch – Used for textured borders and stitch definition. Worked over an odd number of stitches with alternating knit and purl stitches (K1, *p1, k1*) on all rows to create a bumpy, reversible fabric
• Openwork Pattern – A lacy stitch pattern worked over a multiple of 8 stitches, creating decorative openings throughout the fabric. This pattern uses yarn overs (yo) and knit two together decreases (k2tog) to form the openwork design
• Yarn Overs – Used to create intentional holes and lacy effects within the openwork sections
• Decreases – K2tog (knit two together) and p2tog (purl two together) decreases balance the yarn overs and shape the garments

Openwork Pattern Details

The signature openwork pattern in the Neda wrap features lacy, decorative lines that add visual interest and breathability to the finished piece. The pattern is worked over right-side and wrong-side rows with a specific repeat sequence:

• Row 1 (Right Side): Purl 2, then repeat the sequence of k2tog, yarn over, knit 2, purl 4 across, ending with k2tog, yarn over, knit 2, purl 2
• Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit 2, then repeat the sequence of p2tog, yarn over, purl 2, knit 4 across, ending with p2tog, yarn over, purl 2, knit 2

Important note for knitters: The openwork pattern naturally narrows during the knitting process due to the decreases, but will block flatter and wider when finished. Gentle widthwise stretching during blocking and measurement ensures accurate length and proper drape of the final garment.
