kitty: the quest for decrypting Missoni knit patterns continues

Here is my current progress report on where I am counting the stitches for Missoni patterns old and new. I have only been able to decrypt some of the simple ones, but I am on a quest!

The first one I couldn't actually chart, I just sat and swatched it until I got it purl humps to match up.

Cast on a multiple of 14 st +1

Row 1: K2tog, K5, double inc, K5, *(K3tog, K5, Double inc, K5, double inc, K5)* rep between * to last 2 st, K2tog

Row 2: K2tog, K5, double inc, K5, *(K3tog, k5, double inc, K5) rep from * to last 2 st, K2tog

Repeat these 2 rows alternating colours

PS. For all the charts below I assume that you are knitting in the round so I didn't deal with the reverse rows at all.

This is the one that I used in the previous test hat.

This stitch was used as a boder design where the purl ridges formed the ridge of the boder design.

as if to knit, knit the next st, pass the
slipped sts over the knitted st.

  1. Neat pattern--and quite unusual.

    We aren't having a bad day--just were disappointed in the way the shawl turned out. Just wasn't what we pictured, somehow.

  2. I love Missoni patterns too! I don't have enough colors here to experiment with, but I've seen several dresses so I have a good idea.

    Good work on that hat so far! I like that you're chronicling your decryption.

  3. I'm interested in making a scarf in this pattern...how would the pattern work if it was knit flat and not in the round??
    I love the Missoni patterns and want to attempt a scarf =)
