Mai troppo
Mai Troppo is the larger and faster-moving sister pattern of our popular lace-weight Non Troppo. This unique knitting pattern features the same enjoyable alternating stripes in both stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch, ensuring a beautiful and visually striking result. With a pleasing asymmetry, Mai Troppo offers a funky elegance that elevates your knitting projects and wardrobe. The cast on technique is distinct and exciting, and the striping sequence towards the end allows for creativity with your chosen colors. You are encouraged to personalize your project by incorporating your own stripes and adding a contrasting remnant stripe here and there, allowing for a truly bespoke piece.
The knitting process begins with the simplest and most effective cast on method: the Winding Provisional Cast On, which is stretchily bound off immediately. If you prefer a different technique, feel free to substitute it with any conventional cast on method that has some give to accommodate the design. For inspiration, questions, and a community of fellow knitters, we invite you to visit the Tuvstarr Collection thread in the Åsa Tricosa Ravelry Group, where fellow knitters share their ideas and experiences.
Approximate Yarn Requirements: For the Main Color (MC), you'll need about 700 meters (770 yards), and for the Contrasting Color (CC), approximately 350 meters (380 yards) will suffice.
To begin your project, remember that a second circular needle is required specifically for the provisional cast on, although it won’t be needed for the rest of the knitting process. This allows you to focus on your knitting without additional tool distractions.
PDF with Photo Tutorials: Available in English (pages 1–4) and German/Deutsch (pages 5–8), our comprehensive PDF will guide you with step-by-step photo tutorials to enhance your knitting experience.
