AINO

Discover the cozy charm of the AINO knitting pattern, expertly designed to be worked in seamless rounds from the top down. This versatile piece features ribbing at the neckband, hem band, and sleeve cuffs, all crafted with the delightful k1tbl, p1 technique. The elegant neckline is beautifully shaped using the German short rows technique, allowing for a flawless fit. Additionally, the pattern employs the innovative contiguous method to create stunning shoulder yokes, ensuring both comfort and style.

MATERIALS

The featured sample in this pattern is skillfully knitted using KREA DELUXE ORGANIC WOOL 1, which offers a luxurious feel at 270m/50g. This eco-friendly yarn is perfect for creating a sustainable wardrobe while maintaining comfort and elegance.

NEEDLES

For this AINO pattern, you'll need circular needles and double-pointed needles (or you can use the magic loop technique). Choose size US 4 (3.5 mm) and US 5 (3.75 mm), or select needles that help you achieve the correct gauge for your project.

GAUGE

To ensure the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches x 36 rows on the larger needles in stockinette stitch over a 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm) swatch. The smaller needles should yield a gauge of 28 stitches x 42 rows in the k1tbl, p1 ribbing for the same dimensions.

TOOLS

Gather essential tools for this project, including stitch markers to keep track of your pattern, a tapestry needle for finishing, and either waste yarn or a stitch holder to manage any live stitches.

REQUIREMENTS

This pattern includes instructions for knitting both in the round and flat with circular needles and DPNs or magic loop for the sleeves. You'll also master techniques such as the German short-row shaping, slanted increases (M1L / M1R knitwise and purlwise), and the contiguous method to achieve a seamless, refined look.
