Endeavour

Introducing Endeavour, one of the stunning designs featured in Stranded Knits, a comprehensive technique manual and pattern collection created by Ann for Rowan Yarns. This extraordinary knitting pattern is crafted in the round from the bottom up, featuring a beautifully constructed circular yoke. The innovative front opening is expertly steeked, allowing for a polished finish that showcases your knitting skills.

Every photo of this striking design was taken in Whitby, set against the backdrop of a replica of Captain Cook’s illustrious ship, Endeavour, from which this pattern derives its name. This delightful setting not only serves as inspiration but also connects the timeless art of knitting with rich maritime history.

The tension/gauge for this pattern is an essential consideration, measuring 18 stitches and 24 rows within a 10cm/4" square in stocking stitch/stockinette after blocking. For the stranded knitting sections, the gauge is 18 stitches and 20 rounds after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring that your finished garment fits perfectly and has the right drape and structure.

Whether you are an experienced knitter looking to tackle a new challenge or a beginner eager to advance your skills, the Endeavour pattern is perfect for enhancing your knitting repertoire.
