Bavarian knitting consists of traveling cables against twisted stitches. The twisted stitches create clean and well-defined stitches while the traveling cables produce a nice design element and are usually two stitch cables that don't require cable needles. The twisted pattern and charts seem complicated, yet once you understand the chart symbols and how to read them, it becomes easy to follow and addicting! It’s a classic design and looks great on men, women and children. We'll practice in class a 2-color cast on, reading a Bavarian chart, working cables without a cable needle along with 4 basic Bavarian cable stitches.
Materials/Equipment needed: 100 yards bulky weight yarn in a light color, US size 10 or 11 in 16" circular needles, stitch markers. |
