It looks like a Fair Isle knitting, you altern 2 colors during a few rows, like 4 light stitches, then 6 dark stitches. After a few rows, you swap the colors : you knit the light color on top of the dark stitches and the dark color upon the light stitches. While knitting this new row, you pick up with your needle all the yarns that are floating behind the column of stitches and catch them with the stitches you are knitting. There is a space between each column of stitches, may be you need to cast a stitch on each side at the column that you drop when it’s time to catch the floating yarn. I hope that my description makes sense for you and that is what I would try by hand. That said,I am a hand knitter but also a machine knitter and while the manipulations seem laborious by hand, it would be different on a knitting machine, because you can easily create spaces between stitches and the wrong side is always facing you so the floating yarns would be very easy to catch : that is probably why you saw this pattern on a RTW sweater and didn’t find that same pattern explained for handknitting. |
