Making of Knitting Patterns:
Hi friends,
This pattern is on the sweater which was knitted when my daughter was 6-7 years old. I liked this honeycomb type design very much. Later on I designed 5-6 new patterns using same technique with some changes in this pattern
First I write making of above pattern.
Pattern: CO 24 stitches.
Work 4 rows all knit.
This pattern is of eight rows.
Row 1: k2, *For next 2 stitches, work each stitch as shown in the bracket. (in one stitch work k 1 with double thread wrapped round the needle, p 1 with double thread and again k 1 with double thread), k 4*, 2 times more. ( to ) then last k2.
[ This technique of knitting a single stitch three times once as K, then as P and again as K with wrapping the thread double is already explained in my previous post.
Please see the video
Row 2: p 2, where ever there is double wrapped thread, remove the wrap and take those 3 loose sts on left needle. p 4, remove the wrapped of double thread for 2 sts. Repeat.
Row 3: Slide the first 2 sts behind the 3 loose sts (Now 3 loose sts will be first on the left needle) then knit 3 loose stitches together, k 2. Next are 3 loose sts so take them on holder shift the 2 sts after these loose sts in front of these 3 loose sts. Knit k 2 (Thus there are knitted 4 sts in between) and then loose 3 tog. Repeat this.
Row 4: All p
Row 5: In this row where ever there are stitches of 3 tog in the previous row; work as in ( ) on those stitches. All other sts knit
Row 6: As in row 2 remove the wrapped thread and get loose sts. Work purl for all other sts.
Row 7: Take the three loose sts behind the two sts, knit those 2 sts and then 3tog. Now take the 3 loose sts in front and work 3 tog, then knit 2. Again take 2 loose sts behind and 2 sts in front, knit them. Thus there are 4 knit sts.and then work 3 tog. repeat.
Row 8: All purl.
Repeat these 8 rows and get the pattern as in Fig 1..
In this post I will only explain how different designs can be formed once you got a new technique / idea. Just as here we got the idea of knitting one stitch three times with double wrap and then shifting those loose 2 sts either on left or on right. Then using this technique we can have number of designs.
1. Pattern described above is used in the sweater shown in Fig 1, or make only four rows and get the pattern as in fig 2.
2. You can knit 8 rows once only and make a border of flowers to any sweater as in figure 3.
3. You can have a cute new pattern as in fig 4 of Zig-zag columns.
4. One more pattern I designed as in fig 5, in which there are three flowers at the base then two and lastly one. In this pattern flowers in the second row are in between the two flowers in the first row.
Of course you can start with a row of odd number of flowers at the base of front side and then go on decreasing end two flowers at a time till there is only one flower on the edge.
5. In figure 6 also there are 5 flowers in the first row 3 in the second and 1 in the third row but here the flowers in the second row are exactly above the flowers in the first row and not in between as above case. This also looks beautiful.
6. In the new design shown in Fig 7, I have taken 1 stitch in between the two sts which are tripled knitted with double wrap. Moreover that middle stitch I slipped on every right side and purl on wrong side. That way it looks like stem.
7. One sweater I have knitted (for brother of my husband) long back with the vertical strip of three flowers (18 stitches) which is positioned so that those 18 stitches will be the part of shoulder stitches. It looks very great! Unfortunately I don't have it's photo.
8. What ever pattern of these four petals flower I want to make; I draw it on paper as in Fig 8. Then decide the number of stitches required for that; here it is 16 and I keep 2 sts at ends, so I CO 20 sts and make the design.
It's wonderful!
Making different patterns with one technique is nothing but permutation - combination which we teach in Mathematics.
Happy knitting ......

Row 2: p 2, where ever there is double wrapped thread, remove the wrap and take those 3 loose sts on left needle. p 4, remove the wrapped of double thread for 2 sts. Repeat.
Row 3: Slide the first 2 sts behind the 3 loose sts (Now 3 loose sts will be first on the left needle) then knit 3 loose stitches together, k 2. Next are 3 loose sts so take them on holder shift the 2 sts after these loose sts in front of these 3 loose sts. Knit k 2 (Thus there are knitted 4 sts in between) and then loose 3 tog. Repeat this.
Row 4: All p
Row 5: In this row where ever there are stitches of 3 tog in the previous row; work as in ( ) on those stitches. All other sts knit
Row 6: As in row 2 remove the wrapped thread and get loose sts. Work purl for all other sts.
Row 7: Take the three loose sts behind the two sts, knit those 2 sts and then 3tog. Now take the 3 loose sts in front and work 3 tog, then knit 2. Again take 2 loose sts behind and 2 sts in front, knit them. Thus there are 4 knit sts.and then work 3 tog. repeat.
Row 8: All purl.
Repeat these 8 rows and get the pattern as in Fig 1..
