Grey Morlaix

Introducing the Grey Morlaix knitting pattern, a beautifully crafted garment designed to be seamlessly worked from the top down. This pattern features innovative short rows for neck shaping along with a subtle A-line silhouette that adds an elegant touch. It is specifically designed for a loose, relaxed fit, allowing you to be mindful of your measurements throughout the knitting process. We encourage you to try on the Grey Morlaix periodically to ensure your desired fit and make length adjustments according to your personal preferences.

When working on the Grey Morlaix, please remember not to alter the number of stitches for your size, as this is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the ribbing pattern. To achieve that perfect finish and drape, it is highly recommended to wash the garment once completed, giving you the desired shape and texture.

For this pattern, you will need Lang Yarns Donegal, and it requires between 6 to 8 skeins of 50 g each, with a length of 190 m for a stunning shade of 789 Dark Grey. The approximate yardage required per size is as follows: XS 1100 m, S 1150 m, M 1200 m, L 1300 m, XL 1400 m, and XXL 1500 m.

To create the Grey Morlaix, you will use circular needles in US size 5 (3.75 mm) and double-pointed needles in US size 4 (3.5 mm) or a circular needle for the magic loop technique. The recommended gauge is 24 stitches and 32 rows over a 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm) swatch in Stockinette stitch using US size 5 needles.

The ribbing pattern is a simple yet effective k3, p2, providing a lovely texture that perfectly complements the main pattern of Stockinette Stitch. Additionally, you’ll need a few notions such as a stitch holder or waste yarn and a tapestry needle to complete your project.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Grey Morlaix pattern is a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Enjoy the process of creating a beautifully fitting garment that you can wear comfortably on any occasion!
